Yes Demetrios we should reach out to the many who are helpless. I learned today A woman tried to seek help to feed her child. The agency was so backed up helping others, that she couldnt wait for help. She took her child and they both jumped off a bridge together. She left the note saying they were starving and they were homeless. Sad times my friend. I Hope and pray you are doing ok health wise. Blessings to you...

There are some great stories already emerging from this crisis. The sad reality it seems, is that always takes something like this for us to close ranks and unite. Good write Mr.D...

I agree dear, Charlie for I have already written that it seems that where love has failed to unite us, fear might succeed! Thank you for your kind visit!

There will be many who will need help during this time, it's our chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with all mankind regardless of religion or colour. Tom

As days pass by, more and more people would need help. Young people should form humanitarian groups in order to offer help to older and lonely people. YES, we should stay shoulder to shoulder dearest, Tom! God bless you!
