Constance Stamatiou
I do, in the sense that we will check on each other a lot more, especially our elderly people. I see posts on social media about making sure parents and grandparents have food and supplies and are staying inside, especially since people are clearing the shelves––at least here, the shelves have been empty. I have been seeing posts about acknowledging those who are less fortunate and may be one welfare, and being aware of the fact they can only buy certain things with WIC on it—thinking about those who do not have options to buy anything else. This is all opening people's eyes (at least I hope it is) also, to the fact that Mother Earth is cleaning house. She is telling us we have to do better as far as recycling and caring for the world. Water is blue, swans are coming out. I believe Mother Nature is healing herself, and maybe we are the virus. I think this is also opening eyes for those who do not believe in climate change as well. It is telling us that we have to make some changes as a community.
