This passage of news made me shudder:


“The White House is discussing easing social-distancing guidelines as early as next week amid a broader debate over how much economic loss the country can bear to save an unknowable number of lives threatened by the pandemic.”

This materialistic, cost value, computation with human lives make me wonder if only the brain is working and the heart is lost somewhere….Computing how many lives will be lost vs how much will it cost protecting those lives makes me wonder if I live on a different planet…. Does life have a dollar figure to it.?


It hurts me personally because I am one of the 3% who will die. I am subject to triple risk, age (83), I have no immunity because I take immune depressing drugs for my kidney transplant and I have chronic bronchitis on the verge of being asthma.


So my life will be sacrificed so the economic hardship does not suffer.


Political leaders, how about if it is your father and mother and daughter or son who will die so we can keep our standard of living we like.? Will you sacrifice THEM?


Is it like in ancient times when they sacrificed a human being to the Gods to appease the God and the tribe can continue life as usual…?


GOD HAVE MERCY ON THESE PEOPLE TO WHOM LIFE IS JUST A DOLLAR NUMBER….

Life is more important than a few dollars, or even a fist full of dollars, because its loss is permanent, while the loss of money, no matter how much, is painful but temporary. Spend the restricted time thinking about your own life and what you have done well for your family, friends and strangers, and find a way to improve on it. Be thankful for your life, and for all of the things that you have learned.

He extended it through end of April and may even be longer. President Trump is doing an amazing job! He mentioned that saving lives is first priority...economy is second. Life is priceless. Hope you’re staying safe 🙏🏼
