Mary,
I am just a little worried about the gradual shift back to normalcy? The last I heard was positive cases keep going up but death rate seems to be leveling off, so this must be good news?
I’m from southern Missouri and I still have the show me in Me!!!
So far nothing anyone has said makes me believe this covid19 is going away any time soon, and if anything America will be changed for the near future if that is in months or years no one knows?
Keep your distance 6 feet between you and any other human. Wear a mask in public around other humans and don’t touch anything another human has touched.
Wash your hands use hand sanitizer and only be with your immediate household members unless it’s absolutely necessary to be around other humans.
I hope everyone has something to be grateful for other than money, fame or status because before this is over none of that will matter.
I pray for a revival in this country to get back to in God we trust. In God we trust that he will bring his children back together and people realize what they are without God and without their health. Just dust in the wind if you’re a Kansan.
