Praising the Messenger

We’re seeing true heroes among us, all doing their part in the Covid 19 pandemic. The doctors, nurses, PSW's, janitorial & everyone in the medical field, first responders, law enforcement, freight truckers, grocery store staff, volunteers and so many, many others. Without question there’s many people to be grateful for.

Sadly we’re also seeing some people who are taking advantage of the situation. Purchasing large quantities of products, then reselling them at ridiculous prices. There’s others who are still not staying home or using social distancing, like somehow they’re immune to what’s going on, putting us all in harm’s way.

Whether the news is grim, enlightening or makes us angry, we know about it all thanks to the media. TV. Radio. Online. Print. We turn to these in times of trouble. They keep us up to the minute with what’s going on. They aren’t front line in the Covid 19 battle, but they are still there, all in order to keep us informed. 

Some of us are limiting our exposure to the news because it makes us anxious. We can do that. But for those who work in the media the show must go on. The news is grim and it’s their job to tell us about it every single day. That can’t be easy.

Here’s a big thank you to the media. Be it TV, radio, print or online. In good times and in bad. Thanks for continuously keeping us in the know. It may go unnoticed but it’s truly appreciated.
