Really feel for someone we know and are close to.

She's 69 year old, lost her husband to lung cancer
a couple of years ago and now lives alone.

Before all this covid-19 thing erupted she and her
best friend booked a cruise leaving from Florida
for the end of this month. They also booked a
trip to Italy in the fall.

Obviously, the cruise is cancelled. At about
the same time she was diagnosed with a return
of breast cancer that she was originally treated
for 30 years ago. She now faces more surgery and
chemo.

We may all be experiencing some anxiety now-days
but there are others faced with much more.

And what many folks don't consider is that the virus will take health
professionals away from folks like her.

I saw on one of the FB military pages, they are going to bring back a
couple of the military hospital ships, just to take regular medical
emergencies out of the hospitals. I assume everyone gets screened
before they can come aboard and I hope they are sequestered as best
they can for a couple of weeks.
