THE CORONA CALAMITY By T.S. Khanna, April 1, 2020.

    THE CORONA CALAMITY
                               By T.S. Khanna, April 1, 2020.


                     
                      Corona Virus pandemic is Nature’s way of shaking us loose from our silos to test our collective strength as a Nation.
                      Now we are thinking beyond ourselves.  We are fighting this heavy, burdensome still period, never experienced before.  With great gratitude, we are thinking of the front-line medical responders, risking their own lives to save others'. 
                      We are apart but not in parts; we are isolated but not disconnected; we are socially distanced but united in spirit.
                      Our best contribution to mitigate this pandemic is to stay home and minimize social meetings.  That is the best prevention for us and for others.
                       We do not know how long this storm will last, but do know that, together, we will outlast this storm.  Our patience, our perseverance, our courage, our spirit, our connectedness, our synergy, and our empathy will be victorious.
                                Out of every crisis or calamity, we gain greater knowledge and sobriety to our permanent benefit.  Federal and State Governments have done a commendable job in quickly mobilizing, adding, and coordinating all health care resources to fight back the Corona Calamity.  The improvements are permanent and the operations more efficient.
