Dr Anthony C Fauci is a true hero in the United States.
From Paul Krugman's Opinion piece in the Times, 9-22-2020.So we have Donald Trump demanding “patriotic education” and denouncing The Times’s 1619 Project, because it’s politically incorrect to admit the role slavery played in our nation’s history.

Ran after Mailman Dante with a letter to my mother/law, Natalie Sherman.
As I handed him the letter I asked him, Aren't you afraid of getting the coronavirus?
No, he said, there's nothing you can do to prevent it. Eventually even the healthiest person will get it.
Is he right?

While reading PANDEMIC by Robin Cook - it's very exciting - I remembered where I left my reading glasses. I'd exercised on the bed on the downstairs level and placed the glasses on the nearby bar.

HERE COMES THE PROCESSION
They drive by quickly in their vehicles
Where are they headed?

Slow down, for chrissakes, you might run over a child
Long white legs stride around the corner
A tossed-off shirt round her waist
If only Mom could sit beside me
and we'd tsk-tsk together.
