As I write this, my family and I are cloistered in the sanctuary of our house. We, along with vast numbers of people around the world, have become pale imitations of ANNE FRANK hiding from an invading Nazi virus during World War II.
We are all doing our best to evade the ever-present though invisible COVID-19 virus that is ravaging our country, our lives, and destroying our social structure.
ANNE FRANK did not survive the Nazi Holocaust; however, her writings that display her courage, humanity, and hope did.
We wash our hands and can only hope for an end to this madness. Every morning, we wake to more shutdowns and massive layoffs.
As I entered my local BJs warehouse store a few weeks ago, I passed many people leaving with carts piled high with toilet paper.
I then stood amazed, staring at three aisles of empty pallet racks that were usually stacked to the ceiling with toilet paper. “Armageddon?”, I briefly thought.
I guess this only shows that no matter how brilliant we think we are, we are all just a bunch of a**-holes.
At every stock market report and every COVID-19 update, my wife and I both crap a load in our pants.
Could it be that those with the toilet paper stockpiles were the smart ones?
This is a satire blog, so forgive me for ending on a serious note.
As the number of infections and deaths keeps rising, it is ironic that this administration, having been so dismissive of science, must now rely on science to save us all.
We can only hope that our leaders unite in this time of crisis. They must fight for the people, not just for their political party or for their own selfish interests.
Let us again wash our hands up to and into November, casting our votes for the Whole Earth, not just America, and finally get honest, knowledgeable, and compassionate leaders.
