I totally agree with you and I'm quite fed up with this nonsense now. South Africa is in a similar boat to Mexico. Some entire industries have collapsed here and many of them are the backbone of our economy. I don't actually even know how our countries are going to get even remotely back on track.
It almost seems to late now to stop, with so many people having lost so much - your term defeated is appropriate, but let us not lose hope entirely. The human race has survived some pretty horrible and really harsh times in the past and as a species we are resilient. Keep taking it a day at a time and loading up those steps - 14K is brilliant for a single day. Nicely done!
