I posted this on Dennis S' OP but it's down the list a bit now so I thought I'd start a new post.
testcase
Just goes to prove..........
Feces occurs......
Always has, always will.
What matters is how you handle / adapt / cope that makes the difference.
This.
We still have our electricity, water, HVAC, and, the most important things of all, internet and TV.
Our medical knowledge is the most learned ever (don't start-I wrote, "knowledge"), and we have food available.
We don't have bombs dropping on our heads. Seriously; take a look at your neighborhood (and your whole city, for that matter) and imagine yours and your neighbor's homes as empty shells with maybe two blackened remainders of walls that are all that's left of them and you the only survivor of your family. Well, you can't unless you've experienced it first hand. But may I show a couple of images I have posted before that will show you what happened to others? This first is the business district of Manila in 1945 after the liberation of the Philippines:
In this next one, notice the people holding handkerchiefs up to their faces. It's due to the stench of death, as well as plenty of disease around there too:
Do we have that here?
Think about six million human beings taken from their homes to places that were built specifically to murder them. Not to mention other camps in Siberia and then China-during both the Imperial Japanese occupation then later during the Cultural Revolution. And yes, I know the United States has it's iniquities and that we are not innocent.
But people are having a cow because their gym is closed or they can't get a Starbucks. My God-my fingernails are a mess! And my hair!
And I personally can't drive my Sabrina right now....
We will get thru this. We will not have to boil our belts to soften them up enough to eat, then drink the boiled water to get some-any-nutrition.
We will have the Covidiots to deal with, yes. Right now, I am very annoyed with those who wear gloves, which is good, but then drop them on the parking lot pavement or leave them in shopping carts to be removed and disposed of by someone already with a greater chance of getting infected!
We just need to count our blessings and realize this is nothing of what our parents and grandparents and great-grandparents, et al, dealt with in their lifetimes...
