Never in my 84 years have I seen anything like the coronavirus crisis we are in today. Yes, I was born during the great depression, "en el tiempo de la crisis" as my Pops used to say, but I don't remember any of it. So what we and the rest of the world are going through today is uncharted waters for me. It's a sad thing to see all the misery that this virus has sprung upon millions of people around the globe. And the rate of death is unbelievable: thousands are dying worldwide every day, and there seems to be no end. But somehow, someway, we will win this fight; I just hope to be alive to see the people's hands rise in victory.
Some still believe that the coronavirus is "fake news" or that it is made by the media to be bigger than what it really is; try telling that to those who have lost loved ones. Conspiracy theorists come out of the woodwork just to wreak havoc on those suffering from this terrible virus. Shame on them!
I want to say to our family members and some family friends who work in the medical field, and there are quite a few of them on the frontlines fighting to defeat this terrible foe: "YOU ARE MY HEROES."
