TOO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS

   When you can not go anywhere you find you have a lot of time to think.   Sometimes they are helpful thoughts sometimes they are just things running round in your head cause you are bored.   Like this morning, I had a thought I wondered what those that settled in this country would think about what is going on now.   They left their homes in wooden ships that were at the mercy of the winds.  Once they set out in open oceans they were trapped on these ships for months at a time till they either got to land or died on the trip.   There was no social isolating back then, because there was no way to get away from the others on the trip with you.  
     I just wonder what they would think of today's people,with their selfish and entitled attitudes.  Back then people worked together and took care of each other.   They had to, because they needed each other.   Now a days everyone is so sucked into their devices, even when they are together in a room , many are not really there mentally.
     I do not know what is more annoying those that hoard supplies like it is the end of the world or the news media that is deliberately scaring people more then they need to to get higher ratings .n1.gif?v=122  The one thing I do know is people need to calm down a little and look at all the FACTS not the drama on the media.   Many people get this virus, but only a small present are  actually dying from it when the number of people that get it is compared to the number that die form it.
   Back to my first thought. The original settlers did not stop living , because they thought if they went out they would die.   They quarantined those that needed it and the rest of the community kept going.
     Bottom line is this country has dealt with other outbreaks of contagious diseases in the past and we are still here.  I have no doubt we will still be here when this thing is gone.   I am also sure sometime in the future there will be another outbreak of some other disease, and I just hope this one helps the government see it would be a good idea to have a plan for the next time , before we need it.  Ok I will shut up now I just needed to get that out of my head.
