I am titling this "Corona virus issue 1" since it discusses who just might be "hurting" the most. Good luck to all. This thing is bigger than our politicians' capabilities to even try to respond. The problem I see developing is with politicians closing this and regulating that, the little people are suffering even more than they deserve. They are the ones who have the least ability to react to this dangerous time, and they are the ones who are suffering the most with loss of jobs, loss of the ability to pay their rent, to buy food, to do anything. The lowest rung of our society is the one being hurt the most. They need help to just survive. Who will help!!!! And HOW !!!! PLEASE, EVERYONE, ADDRESS THIS MOST REAL NEED !!!!
That being said, what can be done? Help me with this, if you can, by writing your newspapers, your politicians, your churches, your everyone who might be able to help in the least! Do this, and do this today.
The poor do not deserve to be turned out into the streets, do they? They do not deserve an enforced diet of whatever, perhaps dandelion because it is edible and growing well these days, but dandelion what--root, leaves, with what kind of dressing? Why dandelion? Because they may be found growing at the side of the road, and the price may be all that our lower rung may be able to pay.
And what if someone in this bottom rung actually catches a cold? First thing will be to go to an emergency room for treatment, and hope they do not catch Covid-19 in the process, right?
We all have problems because of this virus but, unless we are in that lowest rung, our problems are minor--until we, ourselves, catch the virus. Then what is for us--whatever we have to look forward to at that point in time, what would be our situation if we were on that lowest rung of our county's financial society.
If the hospitals are full, and we have nowhere to go, what will be our fate? Sick, hungry, out in the weather? Is that what anyone deserves? Am I wrong here? Who will take them in?
Well, I want to thank, sincerely, all of you who took my advice. The politicians are doing their thing to try to take care of we the people, even though they seem to be trying to take care of we the wealthy more than anyone and everyone else (and why is this, do you ask? Well, if you were to look at the bank ledgers of most of our politicians, you would find probably not one of them who went the Harry Truman route. In any case, dear readers, please stick with your comments and be sure your politicians, regardless of which party they might be attached to, do whatever they can to get things done for we the people--and all of us, for that matter.
