As has been said, "If it ain't one thing, it's another." I think the virus was ancient news after the first couple of weeks. Talk about a grind on the brain of the people. Well penned.

I like the phrase you used -- 'ancient news.' lol. As for me, it was at least 'stale bread.' Thanks, M.L. ~ Survivor

Shh. Don't give the Devil an opening, as they say... Now what was that about the second wave you saw out on the ocean today, Tom? lol. Thanks, Gershon
