How to use CRISIS in a sentence?

  1. Prime Minister Leo Varadkar:

    That is all happening but it isn't happening as much as we'd like it to or as quickly as we would like it to and that is just a reflection of the scale of the crisis, today the frontline of this emergency is not just in our hospitals, but also in out nursing homes and our longterm care homes. I know in some countries care homes have been described as the forgotten front line. We need to make sure in this country they are not the forgotten front line.

  2. Jamie Court:

    I think this is just crisis management, clearly, its the right decision, but it should have been done in the first place, not after a public shaming.

  3. Marek Magierowski:

    This is probably the very first refugee crisis in Europe in which no refugee camps have been set up.

  4. Tiffany Smiley:

    These are our families and our future, and we have to make sure that we pay attention to what's happening to that. we know that we have a fentanyl and opioid crisis in Washington state. And, in fact, King County declared a public emergency on it. It's killing our kids.

  5. Randy Shaw:

    You don't need a declaration of emergency to arrest drug dealers on a corner but if that's what it takes to motivate everyone to move forward, great, all this is encouraging. It's obviously positive that it continues to bring attention to the crisis … but we want to see results.
