January 6, 2021, is etched in my memory as a day that fundamentally changed my faith in democracy in the United States. For over six decades, I believed that despite the intensity of political campaigns or occasional controversy over election results, the peaceful transition of power—a hallmark of our democracy—was an unshakable certainty.

"WE ARE ONE HUMAN BEING SPECIES". Content Warning.
MICROSOFT DESIGNER APP This is not all about me. I author these stories about abuse or other genres to help others see the dilemma of being involved with people. This story and many other stories are authored by me to inform people about these psychological issues of relationships. There are times I use "I" because the story was written from a first-person perspective. "I" does not always mean that it's about me. I am 75 years old. I authored articles that were found that I wrote at 16 and 17. So, IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT ME! FYI! Enjoy all! LOVE, PEACE, UNDERSTANDING.

The Coronavirus
When the Coronavirus first occurred, no one knew what it was. It was all over the news with the first documented symptoms in a small town called Wuhan, China. The first cases were connected to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. Most Americans did not worry much about it because it was confined to that part of the world. There were a few news stories about it and the symptoms the Chinese people had acquired and what the Chinese government was doing to help these people.
