'Changing Times,Changing Lives'
The sheltering winds that rise,
To scatter the murmurs of constancy
The expectations of unending certainty,
That surge of time's evolution
The essential change ,
When we hover on the abyss of oblivion
The delusion of controls,
On our changing world
As trees bend,
To strengthen their roots
Before the storms,
The tsunamis of earthquakes
Comes the moment ,
When resolve is born
To embrace the tumult,
And see the waves flow
The challenge of adaptation
The triumph of the spirit to adversity
To climb the battlements of despair
And unify our dreams

As for what's really happening, many doctors now admit that even if we did not stay home even the highest peaks of this curve would have been manageable. In other words, they are saying that all we were trying to do was prevent was an over-load of our health system in the midst of an epidemic. Sure, it sounded bad when deaths were reported day-by-day and minute-by-minute but it was nothing that our present health system could handle. If that's true then we just improved our readiness for a bigger epidemic in the future. That's very good but was all this world-wide panic truly necessary? If it was NOT really necessary, then we have nothing to fear but fear itself!
