From my COVID Journals. April 26, 2020

I went around the corner to get my meds, and more masks. The delivery guy is staying home...smart. No masks till Friday tho' my meds were there...just in time too. Streets empty. A social distance of four blocks. The Emerald City unlike middle America is staying shut. Very little car traffic. Not even those big Army trucks. Just individuals tooling by. The trees are thinking about budding. The wind whistling the air fresh, but the skies grey...hey this is still Brooklyn.

NYC got hit hard, it's no wonder people have gotten the message. It's too bad that some other places will have to suffer the consequences of not applying the lesson.

It's April 2022 exactly two years later. The Vaccines came. More variants of COVID also came so more vaccines were and are needed. Omicron the third variety was the most contagious. Near all of us got it...including me. However, it was not as deadly. 

New York City has so far lost approx. 42,000 dead three millions infected. The City has endured the equivalent of a hit by a WW2 A-Bomb. Nagasaki lost 39,000 we're neck and neck with them. 

They lost their people in a flash. We took two years. 

No firestorm no radiation. Just a slow burn. Hearing the medical vans every day every night for two years. Brooklyn where I live so far has the most City deaths. 14,000+ 710,000 infections. 

Nationally as of today April 28, 2022.

One Million Twenty Eight Thousand Deaths. 

The vaccine they say cut the deaths that could have happened by two thirds. 

I'm reminded of the owner of a private hospital in the Midwest at the start of this that forbade his nurses from wearing masks. Saying as the then president did that it was all a liberal hoax. That and projections of 200,000 deaths was ridiculous. He died six months later of COVID. Many who believe what their deluded leader told them. Went on to their death beds insisting it was only a flu. They died believing that.

Two new variants have just appeared in France. It is being tracked. 

However, the war in Europe the largest since WW2 has obscured this. World attention is more focused on the likelihood of tactical nukes being turned lose. ...as am I.

We live in an era of chaos economic meltdowns major war and ongoing plague.

As they say "...Sorry to hear that Mrs. Lincoln. Otherwise how was the play?"
