Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I am going for a walk with a friend. She just got a negative covid result. She's had a cold and laryngitis. We're all paranoid these days. And covid is coming closer. My son-in-law's cousin's nanny got covid and they've had to quarantine. So near and yet so far. The vaccine is here but we have to wait our turn, and while we do we go crazy. Covid seems so mysterious and tricky and puzzling. People get it but don't know how. Tracing is nonexistent. We just have to remain calm, but I, like everyone else am a bit paranoid at this point. Crazy is the new normal, especially with our example in the White House. We're all swerving away from reason and science into voodoo. I look forward to being rational, I just can't quite claim it as my state of mind right now. I'm a bit bonkers.
