3/29/20 RMB COVID 19 Numbers
Dear Rita Mae Brown,
Sunday’s numbers say 3,718 people
died of COVID 19, of those 573 were Americans. I watch digits daily, with
sorrow for those our world has lost and hope for a brighter day ahead.
The statistics lead me to the number
who are taken yearly by the common flu, and by other illnesses, and for other
reasons.
And in this sea of number, there are
others, like the hundreds of thousands of daily births. Worldometer.info adds
them up one by one, day by day.
Each death and every birth is a person,
a mother or father, sister or brother, son or daughter, and they remind me how
precious every day is, how fleeting every breath.
Every 1 counts.
Peacefully,
Loraine
