CORONA Virus, many still take cloth reusable bags on shopping trips, It should be noted that they may be a carrier of infection. Most homes are now air tight and surely fresh air would dilute any harmful airborne infections. Every year the winter fly dies away when people go outdoors, the present advice to stay indoors may be prolonging the virus. Some old country people remark that the blind are leading the blind at present.

THOUGHT: The world contains only one thing that is truly novel: forgiveness. And this is the message of the resurrection. Everything else is like the words of an old song repeating itself endlessly over and over again. There is normally only one song that gets sung: the song of betrayal, hurt, resentment, and non-forgiveness. That pattern never changes. There is an unbroken chain of unforgiveness, resentment, and anger stretching back to Adam and Eve.
We are all part of that chain. Everyone is wounded and everyone wounds. Everyone sins and everyone is sinned against. Everyone needs to forgive and everyone needs to be forgiven.
—from the book The Passion and the Cross by Ronald Rolheiser

AUTOIMMUNE: Researchers Document Rogue Cells at Heart of Autoimmune Disease
Celiac.com 03/31/2020 – There are over one-hundred different autoimmune diseases. One thing they have in common is that they are driven by the body’s own cells; by rare and elusive immune cells that target the body’s own healthy organs and tissues, instead of harmful foreign bacteria and viruses.

PLAGUE: From Samuel Pepys’ diary of 16 August, 1665, the year of the Great Plague:
Thence to the [Royal] Exchange, which I have not been [to in] a great while. But Lord, how sad a sight it is to see the streets empty of people, and very few upon the Change – jealous of every door that one sees shut up, lest it should be the plague – and about us, two shops in three, if not more, generally shut up
Another excerpt from the great Samuel, 3 September 1660:
Up, and put on my coloured silk suit, very fine, and my new periwigg, bought a good while since, but darst not wear it because the plague was in Westminster when I bought it. And it is a wonder what will be the fashion after the plague is done as to periwiggs, for nobody will dare to buy any haire for fear of the infection – that it had been cut off the heads of people dead of the plague.
