Covid Concerns

I watched as the Covid_10 spread from Asia to Europe and to America. I had even prepared a bit ahead of time by looking at the list on ready.gov to get myself and my family prepared.
But the day that it became very close and real for me was the day one of my life long close friends was hospitalized after being very ill for 10 days at home. This broke my heart. He was in the hospital for a couple of weeks, and he was a lucky one that got to come home. At the same time, a co-worker from school was on a ventilator for over a month and it was touch and go. He finally came home and is now doing physical therapy to get better. His wife had it too, but was able to recover at home. There isn't a human on the planet that hasn't been touched by concern, fear, anxiety, or illness. And yet I have had hope when these friends were able to come home.
