Dr. Rev —- all the hypothetical scenarios I used were based on actual events that folks were ‘protesting’ . From Michigan, Kentucky, Nevada , Chicago etc, people are very disturbed that some politicians and leaders are “never letting a crisis go to waste”. ( I can cite them by reference) I remember a while back when some innocent kid was falsely labeled and berated by the media as a smirking clown because some guy banged and chanted with a drum around him. I have seen first hand all hell break loose in a once peaceful community, it is almost unbelievable to wake up one day and wonder if the press or some activist has labeled you an ‘enemy’ to solely advance their agenda. I truly hope you and yours stay safe and free. I hope that we can get along despite our perspectives .

I choose to read both virus  ‘crisis’ perspectives of the reactive media spectrum by perusing MSNBC and Huffington Post then the opposite perspective of Breitbart News (or the Gateway Pundit) .  The middle ground is becoming a no-mans-land. Our local TV press is a mixture of virus case tallies (thousands infected and growing still) and sad daily death reports (slowing a bit) Not extreme, but very sad. My good friend a local physician has just come down with the virus and is in quarantine. He was working so hard for his patients that he got over stressed and exhausted. I pray for his recovery. My daughter works in law enforcement, they are being over-stressed severely. I worry so much for her because she is so accident prone. She survived many risky military missions years back , only to get badly injured on a disaster recovery mission as she exited a Blackhawk helicopter. Hit by unknown object is what her teammates kidded her her with. She gets her clumsyness  from me.

I admit I am getting itchy about getting hit with unknown objects now too .... just anxious I think . I think i will go in the basement  bunker and see if I can get my wooden steam engine working. I will try to post pics if i do.
