Wacking weeds today along fenclines (tedius) I thought about Thomas Paines words "These are the times that try men's souls" and how the early minds that wrought us from monarchy would feel about what we are facing. It's rare to stand true to ideas that will save a country. For the life of me I cannot understand the short term return provided by going back to business as usual (at the cost of a few tens of thousands of insignificant lives, I jest).
Today, medicine says that the virus may be changing and affecting youngsters with some inflammatory malady. Seems we have a battle on our hands that we are ill prepared to fight. Fight it by throwing more bodies on heap? Run and hide? Isn't ther a middle ground. Extreamism sure will not solve the pandemic, nor will chasing false hope. Somehow that middle ground needs to be identified and the ground heald so that we get through this standing.
