It was all good just three weeks ago.

Well, in hindsight that’s not really true, as Italy can clearly attest.

Even some of those who pride themselves on possessing a semblance of good sense, or consider themselves to be reasonably cautious, hadn’t yet fully committed to the “social distancing” part of this pending pandemic process.

That brings me to a few Fridays ago in Philadelphia, March 6th, which would be the last weekend crowds of a hundred or more could assemble in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, for any reason at all, until this contagion, or dystopian nightmare we’re attempting to exist in, comes to its merciful end.
