A Good Number of People

[MaryAnn1932]

I was reflecting… Families are together. Our air is cleaner. Silence gives time to think. Countries cooperate to help each other.

A good number of people
Experiencing the Corona virus scourge invading our earth
Note that we have united our efforts, even with those we have called enemies, to survive.
It is also noteworthy that we are distracted from wars
Even political parties are fumbling in their efforts
To polarise the citizens
To demean the opposing parties
Attention is diverted.
To survive.

Good is at work here
To help us survive, to renew our lives.

And yet death abides.

True.
Even with the Coronavirus.

We need to get it into humanity without it wiping us out.
Viruses aren’t supposed to kill their host. That kills the spread of the virus.
Living cells create a virus in response to environmental stressors that signal a greater need for protection against other future contagions. Spanish Influenza from 1918 and H1N1 from 2009 are an example.

Yes, this is a scourge, but hopefully it is setting humans up to be protected from other germs in the future. The added time with family and ability to look-out for our neighbors is a plus. However, having to social distance from newborns, babies, the elderly, the frail, and others is sad though.
