Pandemic

These are strange times I am living in.

I would have thought that in my seventy years on this earth I would have experienced most things, at least a little, once already, but that is not true.

First we have our orange villain tweeting from the clouds somewhere above Washington D.C., or Mara Lago, Florida.  A United States President who just says whatever pops into his tiny mind at any given moment, trying to make life as difficult as possible for anyone who is not at least a white millionaire.

Now we have a pandemic following years when all precautions and preparations for such an event have been systematically eliminated. But the lemmings following the man who proudly brought us to this place are still blindly loyal.

People, lacking any proper guidance, have now created a shortage due to hoarding of nearly everything and as usual the poor will pay the highest price because they lack the resources to hoard as much as the wealthy.

Trump finally has us where he wanted us all along. Education is suspended. Any kind of protest is prohibited under the guide of no mass gatherings. Elections are postponed. Older people are at risk of dying from the virus. Children of the poor are at risk from malnutrition because they are no longer in school. People are quarantined in Georgia because they were on a cruise ship, but they are receiving no health care and minimal humane treatment.

These are scary times folks.  We may be watching the demise of our country as anyone has known it for over two hundred years.
