I'm no economist. I don't know what the answer is.

But I can tell you this. People STILL are not taking the Covid Virus serious enough!!

A dear friend of ours lives just three houses down. She's a widow in her mid-70's. We have been friends for years; I and her deceased husband were like Father and Son.

She has a daughter in her early 50's. Her daughter came to live with her a couple of weeks back. I saw the daughter working in the yard last week. She looked frail and weak. I even commented as much to my wife. Really, it surprised me.

Two nights ago, the mother calls my wife and asks if she would pick up some medicine for the daughter. She added, "she has tested positive for Covid, and cannot keep anything down and her fever will not break." The daughter is quarantined at her house. We picked up the medication and left it on the door step.

Today, my wife gets a call from the mother. She says, "I'm at the grocery store, do you need me to pick up anything for you?"

All I heard my wife say was "eggs". So, I asked her who it was. When she told me, I WAS LIVID!

If the daughter is quarantined, so is the mother. And not only that, EVERYONE who has been in contact with the daughter for the past month needs to be notified!

I thought to myself. Everyone at that grocery store was put at risk today...and they had NO CLUE!

I understand that people must work. We must buy groceries. But people are going to become very ill and possibly die because of the disconnect we still have over how easily this thing spreads.

I for one think that the threat is over our heads. We hear about it...it even touches our family and friends...yet we go about our everyday lives as free Americans.

When has good ole common sense gone to these days?

And by the way. We have offered to do all the shopping for our friend. She does not need to leave the house!
