Between the fire, COVID-19 lockdowns, and the shootings, I can’t remember a worse year for my own mental health. It can always be worse though. I should try to make it to the June Zoom and start reconnecting with everyone.

I hadn’t heard about the shootings in Nova Scotia (a long way from New Zealand) and 99% of news seems to be COVID-19 related these days.
Shocking, and very sad.
I did reflect on Anzac Day. But in an unusual way.
I thought about the emerging opinion in the USA, about how the USA might completely open up, and how old people might “do the right thing” and catch COVID-19 for the sake of the economy. Act like hero’s.
What a terrible position that is.
These are the very people, the generation, who gave their lives to protect freedom, and worked and paid taxes, and put the economy where it is today.
To suggest that generation can be hero’s by dying to ensure the great USA economy can get back to work is probably the most insulting thing I have heard in years.
