With the theory of  Quantum Entanglement, the idea that 'what affects one person impacts others in some way' is being experienced by just about everyone regarding the COVID-19 scenario playing out for some who have faced the challenge of having the virus and sadly succombing to it as well as 'everyone else' whose become aware of the possibility of getting sick (even if not morbidly so, possibly facing some breathing challenges and infecting others even before showing symptoms who in turn may have a serious or fatal outcome even if that is a small minority.) 

I will reflect on that more in

This post is the first I've had time to do on my computer where my fingers can readily jot down what I'm hoping to convey (and letting 'come through' given what I'm doing as well as hearing on the news and from people around me.) Since I travelled to Hawaii on February 3rd, 2020 (The Big Island called Hawaii as I was quick to learn) after a short jaunt through the airport in Oahu a few days before that became a 'point of concern' due to a Japanese couple being there February 7th, 2020 who were later quarantined in Japan once they returned and had concerns of exposure to the Corona virus.

Even a plane ride, a drive up the California coast after the Grand Canyon and meeting a lot of family in the NM area.

More programs for infants (even expecting parents...and new people ages in utero, to newborn through their first year of life--outside the womb, to age 7 to allow more options for care and interaction among children and families and communities would be ideal.)

All of that should be free...and while that sounds 'impossible' large scale, plenty of towns
