Picnic at the Lake - Last Summer

Little did we know last summer what lie ahead for the whole world a year later! People are social creatures and love to have fellowship, so the desire to get back to normal is natural.

But now, as states open up in different ways across the country, we have to be aware of an unseen enemy out there. We will see what this summer holds for us as the country passes 100,000 deaths from the pandemic. If one deals in numbers, the percentage may seem small. But families of all of those people don't care about percentages. That is a lot of people to lose in a matter of a few months. Compare that with the average of 70,000 deaths from the flu during a whole year, and you can see the significance. If we care about people, one death is one too many.

I agree. It’s hard to balance the need for human interaction and safety. V

You are so right Vern... it's not over and people should not act like it is... personal opinions are not medical facts. Common sense required.. Measles where controlled, but came back because of personal opinions on vaccinations

Stay safe, & don't and kill others

Superb festive scene. V.
Clever words to illustrate your image : the medias speak about statistics forgetting human tragedies hide in the figures. Take care.
