Irrevocably Changed.
We need to understand that our lives have now been irrevocably changed. Even when we have a vaccine in eighteen months or so, our world will never be the same.
Our economy has crashed we are on the verge of a Depression. Businesses will be closing. We are facing food shortages, the unemployment rate is through the roof and food banks with miles of cars in line are running out of food. The children missed a half year of school. Seniors are going to have graduated without a graduation.
The world has changed and we need to adapt.
We were warned of the pandemic years ago. We were warned.
George W Bush gave a passionate speech in 2005. Yes, GWB.
When he returned to Washington, he called his top homeland security adviser into the Oval Office and gave her the galley of historian John M. Barry's "The Great Influenza," which told the chilling tale of the mysterious plague that "would kill more people than the outbreak of any other disease in human history."

Obama warned us.

We will have to change our habits if we are to survive. Fact is our world changed eight weeks ago. This is a the wake up call. Answer it or we will not survive. A different world is on the horizon, the outcome is up to us. We need to listen to the warnings. We MUST be prepared. WE MUST BE PREPARED.
Voting matters.

Watching the Alicia Keys special on CNN. What a tribute to our Unsung hero's, "Good Job"
Fact, there are so many good people out there. I have hope for a changed world, one that is for the betterment of us all.

I enjoy your posts. Love DU community.
So kind of you to say that. 
It's so easy to get caught up in the daily avalanche of news along with how to safely get supplies.
Your OP is a good reminder to look around, pay attention and BE PREPARED. The time is here.
I’ve been feeling lower and more bitter tonight than I have for a long time. We are fast becoming a third world country led by a group of insane whackos. God help us if we don’t vote them all out this fall. How I miss Barack Obama.
Exactly. Sometimes I feel like I am going mad, but then I realize that the world we are living in is getting madder by the day and we just can't adapt fast enough. Take care and stay safe!
