If it were easy, it would be easy... We must stick together and not give up.

...This period in U.S. history, right now is not easy. The only thing I can recall that affected the nation like this was 9/11/2001. Yes, it was New York City, and it was horrific, but there was a certain sense of peace in rural areas, and places that were very unlikely to be attacked. The fear was similar for some time, across the country, but there were indeed ...."safe places."

..This is totally different. There are no "safe places." (except in your home) Fools don't want to stay home, but that is not what this is about, those people are fools. We must stick together and work it out... one day at a time...one minute at a time. Yes, the federal government has horrific issues, but many of the "state governments" are doing an outstanding job in dealing with this crises. Also, the length of the crises cannot be determined. No one knows. It is that simple. Maybe a vaccine is on the way, maybe not. The only solution is to protect oneself and "stay home." That is very hard for many, and for me too.

..I think the only thing we can do is to stick together, do the best we can, and stay home. Stay in contact with as many friends and family as we can. Please do not give up. Sometimes I feel like I want to give up, but then I often come to this place and it gives me hope.. Thank You for reading this.

.. Stuart
