Sh*t is going to get real people. If you are not taking this seriously, there are other ways to get your thrill of not caring. Get in a car, and drive near a cliff. I bet you can’t put one set of wheels over.
I say that out of both love and frustration. I went to the store – and observed people walking up to others – hugging them – and breaking the “rules” of everything that we are being told. It angers me, which leads me to the opening statement. I have the same feeling about meth labs. At the moment in which a person puts others in jeopardy, regardless of the situation, I develop some form of rage. I started to say road rage – but that doesn’t really cut it. I have no problem with a care-free life. I have no problem with people that want to indulge in things – for themselves. But, from both personal experience, large amounts of research, and other experiences, the impacts that move beyond self to others – never turns out well. Never may be too strong, but even if the results are not doom and gloom – the “other people” (defined as not yourself) don’t necessarily have a say…
While where I am is locked down, but no one is really listening. It has not impacted many directly. It is a friend of a friend – or someone that I knew. It is out “there” or “someone else” or “somewhere else.” And when we realize “it” we will be so far into the weeds that we will have to wade through the tangles. I care. About my kids. Your kids. Neighbor kids. About the elderly man that I do not know. About the grandma that makes amazing cookies that we get to hear about. And the disregard to that – pisses me off. I started typing this with a let’s be positive. I really didn’t plan on this episode nor did I stew about it all day. I read the headlines from the news. Took the punches where they fell… Then I see blatant disregard. Lividity ensued.
I care about you. Maybe too much. And want the best that we can have. So many choices are going to be made for us, if not already, very soon.
Warmest wishes… (that was a bit forced)… trying to move back to the positive… Ok, I am going to write my sci-fi novel now.
A Place for Everything...(everything in it's place). 
Living here on the east coast we are just approaching the “bad” part of this. Today it was announced that 13 veterans died over the last few days at a veterans home. The governor was not pleased to put it lightly. They didn’t alert the state. It is likely others will die. This will be everywhere before too long.
I saw a blog post drawing a correlation between how HIV is spread (when you sleep with someone you sleep with everyone they have slept with) and how coronavirus is spread (you have contact with every person the people you have contact with ). It is a simple concept that some people choose to ignore. When it is their grandfather or grandmother dying maybe they will see the error of their ways.
Take care of you and your family. Stay safe and do what you know is right. Be well:)

Take care, Joe. We do what we can, but at the end of the day, it’s totally up to the individual, how they want to act.
Meanwhile, continue to educate ourselves on the topic, and hope for the best. Stay positive.
On the side note, there is a video on Youtube that you might want to check out, titled CORONAVIRUS: How Did it Really Start & How Do We Stop it From Happening Again? COVID-19 (here is the link: https://youtu.be/aIoBAS6bLy8 if it helps). COVID-19 is gonna be here for a while, so while we are looking forward to going back to our ‘normal’ life again, maybe we can spare some time to think about what we could do to prevent it from happening again.
Best wishes from another side of the world.
