Please help me. I no longer understand some of my fellow countrymen.
In the midst—not the end—of the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems that what I am watching, reading & hearing from the experts in the fields of science, medicine & common sense is so very different from what I am hearing from some neighbors & those strangers who have my email or phone number. And I just don’t know how to respond anymore in what my parents used to tell me was a civil tone.
I listen to America’s governor, Andrew Cuomo of New York, & what I hear is that his state is ground zero for the coronavirus war&everyone—everyone across America—should pay heed to his words. That includes even those people who don’t think they have a problem because they live in places where people don’t.
I hear from friends and loved ones—some who are in hospitals around the country fighting for their lives…— & for the first time I realize that even I can’t do anything to help them because we are in a world where who you know means nothing & what you know means everything.
…there are some in this country who want to pick on Nancy Pelosi of all people.
Distance ourselves. Out of earshot would be helpful.
