CoronaVirus

I see certain phrases on social media circulating with great frequency. Before I get into what those are, I’d like to share something that I just did. I deleted all US news outlets on my two devices but three. This is a step down from nine. 😬 I need scientific data. And that is NOT the American news media. I need positivity, also. It is certainly not fake news as our lovely president has referred to it over and over again. But in “times like these” I don’t need opinion or to be scared. I need to look at data so I can know what not to do. 🤷🏼‍♀️ And also Italy where their sense of community is so strong that they hang out on balconies and aren’t idiotic. You see, times like these have always been here. But during this outbreak we are reminded that we are all the same. And we are reminded as a nation what it is that we need to fix: our sense of community, healthcare, and our reliance on God. To say that the state of this nation is not what the founders intended is putting it mildly. I consider myself blessed to have survived what I have medically over these past months. But I have never known with more certainty that the battle of good vs evil in this country is very real indeed as a result. I think of those without access to a Catholic hospital that are in my situation often. That was me for almost two months and I very nearly died. It is with going to Mass as much as possible, prayer, and relocation that I have lived. I hope anyone that reads this, if you’re able, to hit your knees and pray and show kindness in all that you do and say. God bless ALL of us here in this country and abroad.
