Plague Diaries - April 17, 2020

This morning while reading K. M. Soehnlein's novel "You Can Say You Knew Me When" I came across the great quote which I will paraphrase here:  "The City lived in his memory as Oz, where wishes were granted and everything reached out from a glowing horizon, beckoning him forth."

It so captured my experience of living in San Francisco for over 35 years that I knew I had to share it.  I am so happy for all of my experiences while living there both the good and the bad.  The good memories far outweigh the bad.  When I moved to San Francisco it was a place of magic and of unlimited possibility.  It was filled with quirky and fun people whose creativity made a vibrant soul for the city.

Now days the magic is gone and it has been replaced by money and greed.  I do not mean to bash the place for it still is beautiful to look at.  However, it is not so much fun living there any more.

I was able to enjoy the good while it happened and that is enough.

And that is also enough reflection for today.  The "Shelter-in-Place" for this part of the country has been extended to May 26, 2020.  There are a few people upset and out protesting but my thought is staying home is for the greater good of all of us...and that these protesters are fools.  I borrow another quote regarding these protesters...from an ER physician:  "Ok, to everybody who wants to lift quarantine restrictions, here’s an offer for you (and btw I’m an ER doctor): let us close ALL the ambulance services, hospitals, ER’s, urgent care clinics, doctors’ offices, and all other health care facilities indefinitely, and then we’ll lift the quarantine. You do whatever you want, and THOSE OF US AT HIGHEST RIK OF GETTING COVID-19 will hunker down at home and be safe until all you stupid ass*oles are dead and we don’t have to put up with your idiotic ideas any more. How’s that for a deal? Fair? Can we shake on that? S. M. F. H. some people are just fools..."

All I have to say to that is Amen and Amen again!
