Lingering Fear

Where do we go from here? Will we be able to move forward? I believe there will be lingering fear, Life may forever be altered. The basis for this nightmare, we've never seen before. The world is worse for wear, and we are to expect more. Two weeks until the numbers peak. The worst is yet to come. We have heard experts speak. Where is their data from? Does anyone really know, where and when this will end? Have we found a direction to go? Or do we just pretend? I pray before this is over, that we learn what this was about. No chance for this to go further. There must be absolutely, no doubt.

I keep thinking to myself Sandra, what if this whole pandemic thing is fake? What if there is no virus? Is this a plot to keep us in our houses until we have to re-learn to talk to each other again. It comforts me to think that. This has changed the world, no doubt - fake or truth Nice one.

Thank you Caren. I believe that anything is possible these strange days. So many what ifs. If we really knew what goes on in the world, we would run and never look back.

The 'experts' know no more than we do. All they do is record numbers and notice 'trends.' … Looks as if Dr. Zelensky may be onto something though, with 799 out of 800 recoveries from his concoction. (The one who got worse didn't follow directions). His medicine is not for people in the later stages though... Brave thoughts, Sandra! :) Gershon

Thank you Gershon. When all is said and done, I shake my head and say I Don't Know! Does anyone or they just think they do? Hard to wrap your head around this.
