Wow! Just loved it! I like that you personify the virus. I have done this also in some writings I have done lately. Thank you for sharing! I am definitely going to look into your novel that you mentioned.

Fantastic, this is a very thorough, research-oriented and analytical writing about virus, CORONAVIRUS or COVID 19, this gives us a fair idea about the origin, source, benefits and teachings without lessons but through its effect, we have understood the value of the virus in action; it has changed our view and attitude toward living a life; I have enjoyed the read. You may and you are free to buy a gift card $ 10 MD and may gift me to help me make a Premier Shield upgraded membership.

That made so much sense! I really feel angry at those up the top taking all the time whilst pretending to be doing things to benefit us lower morsels. I do sincerely hope people will come away from this virus with a different outlook on life and neighbours. We really do need to. Well done, that was a really excellent post. :)) Sandra xx

Perfect commentary--penetrating, compassionate, sarcastically witty too. Well paced, articulate (as usual from you) and portraying immense wisdom laced with humor.

A few spags:

*The lessons you taught us have been firmly imbedded (embedded) in the entire world population(,) and you have no need to breed your progeny to give us more pain.

*GREAT LINE (note one spag):

If I should be the last person on e(E)arth, I would not seek the company of cash.

*You have made us realize that "all men were created equal" is true, (NO COMMA BEFORE PARENTHESIS) (except in omitting women from the

*dis-ease
disease
(unless the hyphen was intentional to accentuate it is not having ease)


Another great line: We thank you for bringing us closer by separating us.

This is brilliant. Thanks for sharing!

Warmly,
rd

P.S. Will you be sending your book back to me soon for editing?

I agree with much of what you say, here and sincerely hope you are right and we have learned and will carry this forward. Hate to be pessimistic, but I doubt it...

    The spirit we access to experience living as a human never goes away. It has always been and forever will be available Here and Now. There is no death, only transformation. Think of others in much worse circumstances. Let your love flow to them...John

You have itemised the lessons learned by observation and intelligent response in an articulate manner that is spot on. Plutocrats, elitists, sports nuts, the tax department and certain politicians will not agree, but for me your article is gratifyingly accurate to have pinpointed the conclusions i have come to myself.
I like this point best:
8. Social Security happens when we take care of each other. You have made us realize what Social Insecurity is.

    Thank you. It is certainly worthy of wide readership. Love has always been the answer but self interest blinds people.

    Please do not allow your own self-interest prevent you from participation in this tsunami of change. Communicate. Love, John...

    My only self interest is that everyone should see this as an opportunity for improvement as a community of brotherhood.

Here it is - the virus- unmasked and its impact on our earthly world and our manmade systems that serve to hinder rather than help many of earth's citizenry

Your commentary was great and I enjoyed reading it. I did not find a single mistake within the story but in the comment section you left out the word ago (I think). Shirley

Amazing the things we can 'learn' from terrible situations.... although, as you allude to here, the human capacity for such learning is severely limited or retarded for some reason.... :) An interesting offering -- thanx for sharing! ;)

population and you --> population, and you

off dis-ease --> off disease
