This virus has hit so many hard. All three of my children and their mates are out of work except one who doesn't deal with the public. Your clever Limerick could become a reality. I do have faith we can beat this if we all try. Nice to meet you Kenneth. Aloha, Connie

G'day Kenneth … much said in a few lines about the near future. Hopefully a vaccine might stop the bleeding - thank you Kenneth - Lindsay

YIKES, it is frightening if it comes to this. The whole world might go to ZERO and have to start again. Can you imagine???

Frightening Kenneth, they think it will be like the great depression if this virus continues. Stay safe. Tom

Tom I remember the stories my grandfather would tell of growing up during the great depression. I believe we are a long way from there and honestly believe we will recover quickly once the virus is behind us.

Hilarious and ridiculously feels true for many Kenneth.

Thanks Caron, try not to lose my sense of humor over the situation. I believe we will bounce back quickly.
