A dose of reality on the Covid19 crisis from Pete Johnson- A must read.
I read something on a local newspaper website earlier this week. I went back to get a link to add here, but it has been taken down. Presumably to save the family from more distress.
We are all reading about deaths from the virus, all around the world. As the numbers get bigger, they stop becoming people, and are just numbers. I read that 1,000 people have died fom the virus in the USA. Can you imagine seeing 1,000 dead bodies laid out in a line? I once saw more than 20 bodies at the scene of a train crash. It looked like a lot of bodies. And I was an EMT, so used to seeing such things.
1,000 bodies arranged in a line would stretch almost 3,000 yards. That’s 1.7 miles. That distance would take almost 30 minutes to walk, at a normal pace. Hard to comprehend, I know.

Thanks, Jacquie, much appreciated.
(But I am Pete Johnson, not Pete Springer. He is American. 🙂 )
Best wishes, Pete.

It really hit home for me. It’s so important that we don’t become complacent and ignore the doctors’ recommendations.

We’re locked down, Jacquie, and taking it seriously. But not everyone is. I don’t know what they’re thinking. 😦
