<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 4277616, member: 14873&quot;]I am personally living through a strange phase of my life. I am literally re-living my teenage years - this is just like the Great Depression and WWII all over again for me - but much more scary. I am now ninety years old and inflicted with Diabetes and diminished kidney function - my wife has only partial heart muscle function and chronic Cardiac disease. So we are now self quarantined in our home&nbsp; - trying not to become potential carriers of the virus to our family members and fellow citizens.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I never knew my maternal grandfather because he died of pneumonia during the&nbsp; “Spanish Flu” pandemic of 1919 (I was born in 1929). The present threats to our entire way of life are very real. In general, to my mind, the people of all countries are responding in the same way as the people of Britain (in my association) did during the perilous times of WWII - the way they are coming together and caring for each other is wonderful and inspiring. This is so reminiscent of Dunkirk to me. There will be hard times ahead for sure, but the great majority of people will survive. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
