COVID-19 Update

Usually, there's a pleasant sense of expectation on Memorial Day weekend. We can try to remind ourselves that the day is intended for reflection, and for honoring our dead, but the general feeling is that summer is here and it's time to kick up our heels and celebrate the arrival of good times.

Expectations are a little weird this year.

As millions of Americans have poured into tight spaces in Ocean City MD, and Lake Of The Ozarks, et al, there's a sense more of dread than celebration.

We can hope for it all to work out, but there's no one with a living thinking brain who believes COVID-19 will magically disappear and that we won't see another wave even before the first one subsides because of our complacency.

As always, hopeful but not optimistic.
