As we enter our fourth month in 2020 and continue to hear positive
and negative news behind the Coronavirus we see more and more how humanity has
either put themselves out there by being in the front lines or supporting them
as they battle the unknown. It is heartwarming to see individuals come
together, but it is also sad to see the ugliness in others as they allow hate
and ignorance take over.
New York, Connecticut and New Jersey
are currently dealing with the unknown. Our neighbors, friends and families are
dying, or in fear of dying due to a virus. Forget where it surfaced it is now
here. Our medical personnel, police officers, EMT's, Correctional officers and
Home Health Care workers are fighting a demon that has taken us off guard and
risking their lives doing so. Remember essential workers are not only at risk
at their place of employment but also as they ride the public transportation
system that continues to be overcrowded to date. Social distancing is
impossible in a city that is known to never sleep yet is being forced to.
Staying safe and not being
exposed or exposing others is the hard task. You take a risk when you're an
essential employee. Hence, consider your fellow community members. They have a
lot to deal with and don't need the extra pressure. Stay home. Be vigilant and
cherish your families. This may be one Passover and Easter that we cannot
celebrate as we normally do, but we can cherish the fact we are still alive. We
have lost many to this unseen culprit, but we must continue as best we can for
the ones still with us. If this has taught us anything at all it is to love
more, appreciate more and forgive more.
May you all be blessed with
comfort, love and peace during this pandemic. Better days are ahead of
us.
