Fear

There’s potential evidence of community spread of COVID-19 in my county, which follows news from Tuesday of 80 new cases of the virus in the state, a record. This, in turn, follows news of Kanye West’s announcement that he will be running for president while the real president announced his plans to pull America out of the World Health Organization. The president of Brazil revealed that he tested positive for the virus, and on Monday I learned that Ennio Morricone had died. How could you live without fear in this timeline? When our leaders don’t care about our health and when so many of us aren’t taking the pandemic seriously?
