    Folly, yes, as they will sadly discover. Too late. (K)

    The virus is like Poe’s Mask of the Red Death approaching us even when we think we are well-protected.

    Embracing this folly however has deadly consequences. The Easter holiday, stripped down to a virtual facsimile fizzled like a dud firecracker.

    The dark side of it suddenly comes fast with devastating effects. Very lethal without mercy. It is just ‘folly to those people who slighted’ them. Not giving them respect invites death! Very true Frank!

    Wow, that is a powerful image! It’s scary how some think this virus is a hoax of some kind.

    it snowed here last night, I wonder where spring is hiding?

    I love the reference to Poe in the end…. maybe corona getting in the White House is like Count Prospero finally being found.
