Greetings to you, BLOGFINGER & my beloved town Ocean Grove.
A note of gratitude that you continue to inform and bring an artistic perspective peppered w/ a medical accent to your blog.
In the past few months I have been touched by the loss of my dear closest friend, albeit from across the Atlantic. He loved to walk along the boardwalk here daily during his visits to nearby Bradley Beach.
Now we are in midst of the many changes in our lives brought by the current pandemic. As one who spent many years in a medical career am aware of the NJ governor’s daily updates & although our numbers are high, I too look to the ‘data to determine dates’.
I am in agreement as to a slow pace of reopening here and generally everywhere. Otherwise how can we minimize the efforts by the majority to listen to the facts & act responsibly. My Irish immigrant grandparents who lived in northeastern NJ during the ‘1918 Spanish Flu” experienced the severity of an epidemic which took the lives of family, sadly. In the spirit of generations who fought many battles in our American history (including our immigrants) we can do this!
And I hope to learn; to not only survive, but thrive in the near future.
All the best…. S.H / NJ
