It's possible, I guess. (I loved the poem.) But I don't know if I will ever be comfortaqble again in crowds. I have been so paranoid for so long (I didn't leave my property for six months). My wife and I are 80, healthy but vunerable. Everyone I see I suspect is a super-spreader! If and when there is a vaccine and we are still alive, I don't know if I will ever stop looking at someone and wonder if he or she is going to infect--and kill--us. I think you know I am a very happy, positive person. I hope fear is a phase I am going through and when things are "normal" again, I will be able (like you) to embrace others.
