Scary Corona plans

My great plans on visiting all the playgrounds have been dashed now. They have all been closed in an effort to contain the Corona Virus. This is a good plan. The 6ft. distance between individuals, hand washing, isolation if cold or flu symptoms appear, working from home, are also good plans. It has not taken long however for the scary ones to appear.

I have heard of cures posted by nasty people on social media. Drinking bleach, blasting hot air from a blow dryer into your sinuses, gargling warm water with salt or vinegar and eating bananas filled with B6 are a few of them. These are very dangerous. The most dangerous of all was the statement by president Trump that "we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself." He was of course referring to the state of the economy. I would hope he did not realize the danger of this statement. It  prompted the Lieutenant Governor of Texas to say to Tucker Carlson, on Fox News Monday night, that he thought there were "lots of grandparents" who would be "willing to take a chance on {their} survival in exchange for keeping the America that all Americans love for your children and grandchildren." I read this statement by the Lieutenant Governor in heathercoxrichardson@substack.com This is a daily "Letters from an American by Heather Cox Richardson" which I have been following.

It is at times like this that we find out who the humans are, and who the alien like creatures are. I do have faith in humanity. Sometimes humans are mislead by others who cannot see beyond their own wellbeing. We have to be reminded that the wellbeing of every person means our happiness. The state of the world right now should point out to us in high definition, how much we depend on one another no matter how great we are. Let strong leaders who understand this, emerge.

The good news is that Wuhan China, where the virus started the end of December 2019, declared that restrictions will be lifted April 8th. as they are virus free. That is 3 months and a bit. This gives us hope that there is a time limit.
Keep up the home schooling. Kids love it.
