More recent news involves that of COVID-19. Of course the story here is what was happening behind the smile — the daily rocket attacks striking the unconscious like a timpani drum roll quiet louder...louder...louder...louder. Building until it was easily observable as the beast that is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
