A sobering thought about Covid-19

Vietnam Veterans Memorial / Washington, D.C. (Spring 2019)

I came across a very sobering thought last week about Covid-19, courtesy of a tweet I read that was written by California-based New York Times writer John Branch. He wrote:

“You know the Vietnam Memorial? 

“If you replicated the design for those Americans who have died of Covid-19, the wall of names would be about 11 times longer than that – or more than a mile long.

“And with 2,000 Americans dying a day, the wall would grow about 17 feet each night.”

Indeed, definitely something to thing about. 

Friends, the bottom line is simple: 

Get vaccinated.

Wear a mask. 

Don’t think twice. 

Do your part.

Be a good citizen.
