Everything Is Connected

3/22/2020

My great grandfather was a farmer who liked to keep track of world news. He routinely bought and read newspapers from Europe. He followed the increase in nationalism, the bickering between countries, and more. With this information and a basic understanding of history, he foresaw WWII and our eventual involvement. This would create a shortage of metal that would be redirected to war efforts. He surveyed the farm equipment and bought extra metal parts for all the equipment, to keep it running. He was a successful farmer because he understood that everything is connected; he thought deeper and further.
 
Global travel meant that Covid-19 would enter our country. It was inevitable. My great grandfather, with only a few years of formal schooling, would have understood and prepared.  
 

We can still slow the spread
 if we follow the coronavirus containment guidelines. Neighbors are helping neighbors, asking what is needed before going to a store. Schools are closed, but school buses deliver food to students who were on free or reduced lunch. Customers are finally polite to the people who work in the stores.

Everyone is connected. Pray for the victims, doctors, nurses, store personnel, cashiers, and everyone risking their lives to serve the public.
