There are some upsides to this nightmare. Not many,but some. Not enough to make good the losses,or to even come close.
But we’ll need to find the good in this somewhere and one small note of grace has been to rediscover a simple truth of heroism:it is often average people doing normal things when everything else is falling apart.

If and when we are done with this virus,I suggest we celebrate the real heroes who saved the world:
They are not well paid. Hell,they’re often underpaid.
They have been abused and threatened.
And yet they endure.
We will owe them all. Not just those I listed above,but anyone who did the right thing.
And let's not forget – that wasn’t everyone. Not by a long shot.
But those ordinary punters who are leading the way when our actual leaders seem utterly lost,they are proving themselves heroic in the truest sense of the word.
A parade would be appropriate when all of this is done.
