Married monogamous women have a false security of being sheltered from the storm because they only indulge in unsafe bed activities with their spouse. A large number of clergy still find it less than holy to educate their congregation about the virus. I encourage my peers to bring up the subject of the virus as much as possible. We must continue to raise eyebrows and consciousness by letting the masses know that this virus is still unfortunately viable and wandering throughout our planet. New forms of the virus are being diagnosed, strands that resist all forms of medication.
Women are now at a very high risk of contracting the virus, as well are teen-agers and newborns.
Most Americans who are not infected are in some way affected by the virus. Many of us have lost friends, spouses, relatives, neighbors, educators, mentors and more. People we knew very well and great people whom we have never met. The virus still walks among us, leaving its painful impact on our lives. Stomping on our vulnerable bodies with leaden feet, tearing at our health and spirit.
