Covid keeps beating us into submission. My dad just got his first taste of its wrath a couple days ago. He was scheduled to travel back home to the Caribbean for business. Well that didn’t happen. First leg of the journey was from New York to Puerto Rico. In Puerto Rico he remained in transit to catch another flight to his final destination. Well he never made that flight. Apparently he needed an extra covid testing document besides his vaccination status. And he is fully vaccinated but yet he couldn’t make it home. Covid jammed him up. He didn’t even get a refund. So he has to buy another ticket to try to get home again. More money to spend, lost time he will never get back and stress he doesn’t need. Covid got us in a choke hold and it’s not letting go. We're gonna have to work even harder to survive that pandemic. We have to work together regardless of religion, race, sexual orientation and politics.
