If you are reading this, that means you are currently living in a time that will go down in recorded history as a period that most future generations will look back upon and likely describe as an occasion of suffering, just as we now can reflect upon the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic that took millions of lives so many decades ago. On the bright side, COVID-19 has not affected the younger generation that severely like it did in 1918 when so many young children, including newborns, were sickened and suddenly died.
Itâs been over a year now that we began to realize just how serious the disease was and continues to be. I suppose it took deaths of people we knew and the reporting of the nationwide news media, as well as repeated warnings from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) â despite national leadership stupidity â for folks to realize the seriousness of the virus.
