We are better than this
When the virus was first spreading, a shutdown was placed to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed. Moab had requested that the national parks nearby be closed so their little hospital wouldn't be overwhelmed. Elective procedures were canceled and people learned what they needed to do to be safe and healthy. It worked and the majority of hospitals weren't overwhelmed.

Then we got distracted. People pointing fingers at political parties and the name calling started. Other countries were being blamed for our situation. We lost site of our common goal. To stay healthy and beat this situation. We are people with different opinions but we are not the enemy no matter our political beliefs.
We are all just a bunch of people trying to get by the best we can. I didn't need a governement check and don't want to leave more debt to our grandchildren. If we all pull up our boot straps, we could actually come out of this in better place. Or we can continue to beat each other up for no other reason than to feel better than "those people".

I am so glad we are getting outside to escape the "crazy". The people outdoors have been respectful on the trails. I see some good things happening.
Oh! And have a good day!
