This weekend we honor those heroes who paid the ultimate price.
We do this at a time when we are once again at war, not with another nation, but with an invisible virus. Nevertheless, it is killing us as surely as bombs or rifles. In fact, since it disproportionately kills our elderly it has become a threat to many veterans who served and survived.
Nearly 340,000 people worldwide and nearly 100,000 in this country have died.
Too many of them have been Healthcare workers or others on the front line.
I want to reopen as badly as the next guy, but we must do it smartly and carefully.
I think those who paid the ultimate price would want us to be safe.
We are 77 days since our first confirmed case of Covid in Connecticut. We are 4 days into our partial reopening.
724 are hospitalized, down 16
3675 have died, up 38.
Since Healthcare workers are restricted from having water at their workstations, “hydration stations” have become a thing.
Be well,
John
As a reminder, counseling is available to AFT members through this link.
