" What they say's gonna happen, gonna happen at last. That's the way it appears." Mama Cass California Earthquake
Happy Earth Day. The 50th anniversary. Maybe not the best earth day ever, but some would disagree, especially mother nature. Due to stay-at-home orders and travel restrictions and many of the general public not commuting the world is environmentally cleaner. Particularly in regards to air quality, some of the best we have seen in decades.
"I can see clearly now..." lyrics by Jimmy Cliff Unfortunately, the world is being held hostage by the virus known as Covid19. Millions of humans infected and many thousands have perished from this deadly disease that continues it's invisible surge through the world. In Colorado the numbers are mild compared to other cities in America and around the world. 10,447 cases, 2,003 hospitalized and 486 deaths. In more populated cities the virus is running rampart. NYC has over 140,000 cases, by far the most of any major city in the U.S. By state, NY leads in cases with NJ, Mass., CA, Michigan, Penn., Florida and Louisiana suffering many infections. The world over is suffering and with no vaccine and treatments doing little. The anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine has proven to be ineffective. There is not much good news these days and even our clear skies will be only temporary as the smog and pollution will return once the autos and factories are running at full capacity. Although It would be nice to believe and I am hopeful people will see the value in walking or biking instead of driving when possible. As much of the questions, theories and projections we have these days, only time will tell.
"Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days, these days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do, for you
And all the times I had a chance to"
Lyrics by Gregg Allman
