This idea hit me this morning as I got ready for work. At the risk of being in poor taste for making this the topic of a cartoon, and I realize that many people have died and suffered, it is something that affects all of us. And there's a story behind it. My wife runs a school kitchen, and has effectively been laid off for a month because of the coronavirus. I myself face the prospect of doing security work for a nearly empty facility soon, depending on how things go. We live across the street from a high school, which is now basically empty, and I couldn't help but think of how crazy things must be for those students preparing to graduate: it was weird enough being a senior in 1981 when our president was shot. Yesterday our state government gave permission to the schools to shorten their school years by 20 days - I have not seen this since 1977 when then Governor Rhodes of Ohio declared the same thing because of an extended snow emergency. And this whole corona thing - I haven't seen anything like this in my 56 years. But hopefully things will turn around soon enough, and we'll get back to life as we once knew it. FATC - Fingers and toes crossed.
