Odd question, isn’t it? Is it something that still is, or is it something that was, that is to say, no longer exists. The question came to mind as I was watching one of those Law-and-Order things. don’t remember which. I think it was filmed a year or two before the China virus.
In the background was a large restaurant. I ignored the foreground for a while and looked at the restaurant. There it was. I suspect it was a real restaurant with real owners and real employees. I suspect they had a regular clientele right there in NY, NY someplace. I wonder if it still is. I wonder if it is one of those places that was and is no more.
Perhaps the owner went bankrupt. Perhaps he was one of those horrible statistics. NY, NY was one of the hardest hit cities. Moreover, the mayor and governor had no idea what they were doing. Even if the restaurant is still there, they might have lost many of their regulars. There were many restaurant goers who no longer go to restaurants.
It is another reminder that one day, in a country halfway around the world, a lab was doing unthinkable research and one of the greatest disasters ever, began when some of those super microscopic semi-living organisms escaped and the world will never be the same.
President Trump said it started in China so he called it the China virus. I watched as it spread, first from the west and then from the east to my little corner of the world. I think I had it twice. I guess God decided to keep me around for a while. I suffered, yes, but I’m still here. Don’t think I’ll ever be the same again. I don’t have nearly the energy.
I watched it on TV. First, they talked about tens, then hundreds the hundreds of thousands. It spread so fast, sort of like it was designed to do that. My thought was it was those horrid Chinese. Then my eyes were opened. We financed that research. It was money from this country that killed the millions. No one really pays any attention once we start talking thousands.
As for me, I like to think in terms of individuals. So, here I am wondering if that restaurant is or if it was.
How quickly the dems accuse Republicans of being Nazis. Yet, can one dem point out one Republican that caused more death than Fauci. Has there ever been a conservative that has caused such disruption to international trade and travel. Has so much as one person on the right side of the isle caused 2- and 3-year-olds to wear masks on airlines, when they knew they do no good. And by the way, does anyone remember that the airlines, all of them almost went bankrupt.
Let’s put Fauci in prison and throw the key away, the sooner the better.
