I hate to sound so dark, I'm trying to think and act more positively, but the more I read about the struggle doctors are facing, the lack of protective equipment, the rise of cases they can't treat, I'm feeling this wave rush across me in which I wonder what if we're only 1% through this... have we stopped to really imagine how exponentially worse this gets when the medical system breaks completely, as the cases rise anyways, to the point we're just watching the clock run out on the lives of millions of people for whom death is inevitable?
How many of us doing the right thing, staying inside, protecting ourselves and our families, are just slowly ebbing towards our own demise if and when this is past a point of no return?
I just want to get to the day when there's a positive direction the nation can rally behind. In my town north of Chicago, there are no cases I'm aware of, people are doing the right thing, it's a very family-oriented middle-upper middle class suburb with numerous suburbs of the same type around us. It's hard to look at what's happening in NYC and other hot spots and wonder if it's just a matter of time before it's here and spreading fast. I've not seen any thing abnormal at our local hospital. My biggest fear is that in towns like ours all across the country, there aren't any cases and suddenly there are, and it increases quickly. I think the sense of panic, fear of going out, intense desire to stay inside becomes problematic when people run out of supplies, can't find food. I mean, that feels like a very real possibility for numerous towns and communities.
