schestowitz> I was 13 when WWII started and almost 17 when it ended. In my memory the people were all patriotic and behind the war effort but went about life as always with none of the health, social, and financial fears we are experiencing  with COVID19. People are taking cautionary measures wearing rubber gloves and using soaps and sanitizers like never before. Only a Pollyanna would think this will end soon.Mar 15 00:54
