From here ever forward, it'll be Before CV and After CV... in history. How society changed and the ways it changed and what we can do to try and be ready 'for the next thing'... They said this was CV 7 and that with how it's effecting society, probably 8 will come soon. I'm not someone who stands by catostrphic prognostications but when the all the experts say that this is 'something we need to be more aware of because it sets humankind up for more of the same' well... It might make it easier to move once this bit is over... to make actual changes. If you've been staring down your mortality even stronger for the last few years suddenly the usual ties and worries no longer apply.<br /><br />I think with the financial thing now a lot are left to wonder if we, the most vulnerable, will be left out all together while the wealthy who don't need it are getting it in spades. (Special wording for wealthy companies is being written-in among other sneaky stuff so that's fun.) Those of us who can't go out to shop etc are left to hope that we can find someone who will help us but in most cases there wont be anyone. There's a whole lot of ways things could get difficult really fast. We have just activated the National Guard in CA...they are coming to do anything from mobilising food and medical supplies to building CV-safe medical facilities to handle if/when it hits. (Our trajectory is similar to Italy.)<br /><br />BTW... how was it with your daughter's visit does she like Ireland, do you think she might move over as well? (I definitely would if I was her and it was a possibility.)

So people are getting assistance. They are working on more, I think.

I so miss that about being in Europe, how it's always the rally cry of 'we are in this together, and we are looking out for each other' sort of thing. It's always comforting to me to hear that over whatever opposite bologna is going on here. Even when DT says something like 'so USians help each other' or something like that, it never sounds like he means it or believes it or that the rest of his thought is more 'such idiots, this is part of the swamp we want to drain, but ok they're making me say this'. His priorities are like nothing ever, certainly not a caring leader as you have and I'm glad you're away from it. When I heard the virus was jumping the pond it was like 'well dang it - I SO should have been out of here already'. I love his honesty and truth telling. It's always more comforting to just hear the truth. Sigh.
