Uncertain future

I went to River Singers tonight and although no decision has been made as yet, Mary Cay made it clear that there is a good chance our concert will either be postponed or cancelled. The Atlantic has published an article titled Cancel Everything!  and she feels it is pretty persuasive - based on the way the virus has spread in Europe. On the top of that, they have called Michigan for Joe Biden, so probably Bernie has no path to the nomination. Jim Clyburne is saying close down the primary tonight. Can Biden defeat Trump? Not at all certain. Plus, the economy is reeling and could go south due to cancellations, etc. Oil prices are plummeting. In a crisis, will the American people decide to stick with Trump?  Will he pull a Putin and get Congress to give him another 16 years?  I can't remember quite so uncertain a time - although 1942 was pretty uncertain because it wasn't clear that the US could win the war. I guess there was a point where it looked like Hitler might conquer the world. But I was only eight years old then, and was sort of oblivious to all that.

The Corona Virus -a powerful little creature!
