Jack Was Not Seen On Radar For 20 Hours

Good Morning Every One:
       I was out of sight for almost a day. Perhaps some of you noticed. My level of stress reached an overload. I was suffering from complete mental and physical exhaustion. I went to a friend's house here in Pacifica. He graciously let me use his granny flat to get away from it all. When I got into the flat, I crashed and slept for 16 hours. I needed the rest. Now I'm back home.
      This coronavirus epidemic can be described with that old saying:
        "These are the times that try men's (and women's) souls."
         If you are fortunate enough to be employed (As I am ) you have to work twice as hard for far less money.  The probability of a huge financial loss always haunts you as you work. Your mind is always on friends and loved ones. Will they get infected? Will they die an agonizing death? Will they lose their job and lose all?
      Fortunately in this group we have had two readers who caught coronavirus. Both survived without a trip to the hospital. People have suffered economic hardships. Fortunately they have had good banks and good landlords who showed understanding and kindness at this bad moment.
     What so disturbs me is that the United States has roughly 4% of the world's population and 33% of the coronavirus cases. How could this happen????
   I will leave you to reflect on that.
