In these times of uncertainty

I am turning round and round, all in an attempt to understand the workings of the human mind. Why do some perceive themselves as a higher species than the other? What is so different about us?

We each have our different capabilities that set us apart yet serves as part of a whole. It is sad that in the midst of this covert COVID-19 that is ravaging countries and continents, people in the face of uncertainty, still harbor malice and complexities against their fellows.

News making round in social media circles, points to a certain hospital being designated for VIP tested COVID-19 positive use. Really? Are VIPs better than that lady or gentleman who has to sell something daily in order to buy food for his or her table at home? Is the VIP of a higher breed that sets him or her apart from the general population considered inferior?

Again, watching certain videos circulating on social media, if it is what it is, then I am appalled at the behavior of some of these gentlemen of the green cloth and those in blue or black. Why visit such atrocities of incessant beatings on people who do not understand an order that has been given? For how long was the public educated to let them prepare for an imminent lock down?

So yes, I live far away but my state and town of residence is on Lock down. I go out periodically for walks or to buy essentials.

At least, no person has come forward with the sale of oils that can prevent or cure COVID-19. Church buildings are shuttered. But what about the flock? For ages, the congregation has been fleeced. I think it is now time to give them blankets and food. A lot can be done.

While new hospitals are being built and large buildings are being designated as centers, other countries are still keeping hospitals shut because of political drudgery. Why? The flu does not know you in an office. It feeds on you the human.

COVID-19 is real. Stay safe. Keep alert mentally. Call someone. Play with your partner. Practice cooking and cleaning. Love life.

For once, we are not in this together. We are in it individually. Stay inside.
