We are truly at ground zero here in Elmhurst, Queens.
The hospital, within our walking distance, is swarming with sick people out on the sidewalks. There are no more beds for the infected, though no one is being put on the street. The hospital is converting its rooms just to handle the coronavirus victims. Every night there are a dozen or more deaths from the coronavirus at the hospital. You can hear the ambulances whizzing by. Sometimes, an ambulance comes down our street.
Everyone holds their breath. Neighbors say hello from across the street. The Con Ed guys, bless them, are doing repairs under the street.
Day before yesterday, it was a rainy, grey day. Today the day was shades of grey. Doves cluster in the trees around us. It is midnight here. What will the morning bring? A very sick friend emails that he is praying for us. God bless, Dan.
know that you—and all people—are in our prayers. 💔May God have mercy. Love to you both. 💕 To quote a friend in Singapore “… This pandemic is much more deadly than people realize. It all seems so far away,…..until it isn’t.”
May God keep us all safe
Keep safe, Tony Carnes I am quarantined at home with family.
I am praying right now for God to protect you and to stop the spread in New York City.
Sending our prayers from Tennessee.
oh no. I can’t get the homeless who are always near Saint Patrick’s cathedral off my mind. Where are they? How are they? If I knew it was going to be the last time the last time I saw them for a long while, would I have done anything different some two weeks ago now?
Praying!
