Yesterday a dear friend emailed me about her concerns regarding the "new normal" during these days of plague. Then during the night the cities of the United Stated burned in reaction to the unmitigated police brutality. When I responded to her this morning, this is what I wrote:
"Methinks this is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. I've read in the news the police were really cracking down on protestors last night??? Well, is that not fighting fire with fire??? Police brutality has to end. Oh, and lest I forget...all freeways in and around the TC were closed last night. And they were closed not particularly because of the protestors but because of the truckloads of white supremacists descending upon the TC in order to create a firestorm of mayhem. Lastly, as I point out to people...let us not forget that the police unions back Trump 100% and that right there explains their excuse for brutality.
And yes...what will the new normal be during this plague? I am thinking that nothing will improve or change until there is a vaccine. Yet, let us not forget that the so-called "Spanish flu" killed maybe 20 million people and yet the world finally did return to business as usual...large crowds, etc. But yes, we are fortunate to have those days of wonderful memories of getting together without a care. I also think we are fortunate to be retired at this time and not worried about job loss, etc.
And other than that it is a cool sunny beautiful morning here in the northwoods. I did have to turn on the heat for a wee bit to take the chill out of the air.
Stay safe."
And...for all of you reading this...please stay safe.
