This virus is the worst crisis we've ever had in my lifetime....

I turn 62 in August. Yes, Vietnam was really bad, as well as Watergate, Iran Contra, the 2008 Great Recession, the Iraq War, and our Dictator-wannabe since 2017. I am sure you could add to my list. This is just something straightforward yet so unknown and extremely hard to control.

My brother and I are both in a higher risk category (over 60) but we're both in good health. My son is only 24 and in good health. I have no older relatives or friends (at the moment). So, in summary, I am not really concerned about myself, my son or my brother.

My concern is more for the country: the impending recession (and perhaps depression), the difficulty in doing social distancing, survival difficulties unless Congress really steps up, and the (probably) thousands of deaths that are coming, with the overwhelming of our hospitals. Thanks President Narcissistic Psychopath Asshole.

I really hope the future is not as bleak as I envision it. I hope I am wrong.

Thank you for reading. I just needed to vent. I apologize if this was too political and depressing. As a group host, I do my level best to keep politics out of this group, but damn, our national crisis IS affecting my mental health.

I wish you all the very best.
