COVID-19: the Florida case

I took a wilderness walk (at a park) in the rain. As I drove back home, I noticed the red light blinking down the street. "Could it be ...?", I wondered, then drove forward.

At the end of the street as I took a turn, there it is. There it is: the conspicuous deep red huge ambulance car in front of me. The rear door was open; medical personnel clad in protective garments aligned waiting for the patient carried in. The patient soon appeared. Wrapped in and on a carrier, carried into the vehicle. No one was in a hurry.

I drove off as the traffic went. There then there went an ambulance car passing by with the light blinking. It hurried off in the opposite direction.

The stories repeatedly told in Wuhan, Italy, and in NY as it is happening here in Florida. As if we do not learn anything from their cases. Tested positive and died the next day. Family members beyond the glass wall. Infected by the family members, friends, people with good intentions, and without.

Things will get worse, said the President. Before it gets better, said President Trump.
