Kenya's COVID-19 Dilemma
The image of a boy, about two years of age, appears on my phone screen. The boy stares at me for a few seconds, a smile on his face, and then rushes off to the next thing that captivates his young mind, oblivious of the turmoil his father, and the world at large, is going through at that very moment.

The Germaphobe Party
So, you're lying there on your Moon Pod because one of the necessities of this pandemic was to buy a $299 bean bag chair, right? You're comfortably reading the newspaper because those are still popular, and the headline reads, “United States Survives Pandemic! Stay-At-Home & Social Distancing Orders Lifted!” The milk you were drinking shoots out of your nose and completely ruins the newspaper story making it illegible. Luckily you have your smart phone as a backup news outlet. You frantically scroll through the article but don't fully read it. The feeling of freedom sets it. You're no longer on house arrest. A celebration is necessary. You just SURVIVED A GLOBAL PANDEMIC!

Fool for a Fallen Time
I've written before of the significance of April 20th through April 30th; or, roughly, Hitler's birthday through the anniversary of his suicide in the bunker, beneath the Reich Chancellery in Berlin, in 1945. (Which coincidentally, falls on the ancient Satanic holiday known as Walpurgisnacht.) That was in an article published on this very website, a piece well-received by the editors. However, if one is to damn the month of April, one should really begin at the very beginning: April 1st, or April "Fool's Day."

I Hate To Say I Told You So
On March 11th I published a thought piece telling people to stop telling me to calm the fuck down about COVID-19, and largely I was ignored. I kept getting told to calm down, that it wasn't that bad. Now there are over 200,000 people dead and over 3 million cases globally. Nearly a third of those are in the United States cases and a quarter of those deaths are in the United States. Why? Because you chuckle-heads thought that this was some liberal hoax, spun up by the main stream media?

Maintaining Spiritual and Mental Stability during the Pandemic
yes, its easy to get carried away emotionally right now. We all need to remember that everyone is scared and uncertain of what is going on. Deep breathes and thinking twice before speaking or posting is something a lot of people are not doing right now. I think people need less social media right now and more arts, crafts, exercise, reading, etc. Positive influences to keep our bodies and minds active without constantly feeding into the fear mongering online and in the media.

What's life after this?
It keeps me up at night. I had so many plans before this pandemic. 1. I planned to improve in school. (Our school doesn't hold online classes due to other students having no internet access.) 2. I wanted to enter college sooner than ever, and now the timetable's gonna change. I wanted so many things to happen in my life and now, maybe all of those plans are gonna wither away.
