In just the last week I have learned of three deaths; one a teacher and former student of mine; one a former college classmate and friendly competitor when we both coached high school basketball in the same conference; and another a long time family friend. I don’t know if my experience is common, but I am certain it is not unique. I am happy we are beginning the vaccine process, but until immunity is pretty universal, I implore everyone to be careful and vigilant. I do not want to add a TOTV friend to my list.
Sorry for your friends. That is a thread that needed to be started. It was just a matter of time before it would become "up close and personal " to MANY TV Landers. I have TRIED, without much success, to post about the serious nature of this CV. I have been called, "glass 1/2 empty" and "fear-mongering" and probably worse for my efforts. I doubt(?) that any DENIERS will unleash their venom on you - there can be no doubt about your sincerity and purpose. Note: I coached high school bball - many headaches and very little pay. Note: I like your philosophic quote!
