John and Jane were your average couple. John worked while Jane raised the children. When the youngest went off to college, Jane went to work part time. They paid their taxes, were buying their home and had never been in trouble with the law or government.
Then one day, Jane went to the doctor and found out she had {an illness} The medical insurance only paid for so much and of certain things. Much of Jane's treatment, came from {out of pocket}.
The first thing to go, was Jane's job. Then they had to remortgage the house. They tried garage sales and other means to sell off unneeded items. They kept the old RV, nobody was really interested in buying it anyway.
It took a couple years, and John had a stroke, no wait, it was a heart attack.... Doctors were now trying to figure out how to help John after almost losing him on the table.
John's job was gone and so was all their medical insurance.
Jane stayed by his side as much as she could. By the time John came home from the hospital, the papers were in the mail. The house was being foreclosed on.
They took what little they had left and moved into the old RV at a nearby RV park. Problem was, a year later their RV was to old for the park and they had to move. So with no where to go, they camped in church parking lots.
One Sunday morning, John and Jane came out of church to find the RV being hooked up to a tow truck. The pastor was having it impounded. John and Jane didn't have the $350 to unhook the RV
and all was lost.
With nothing more than the clothes on their backs, no where to go and no way to get their medicine.
John and Jane went to the river where all the others had gathered.
This is where they met Heroine.
There was no Presidential order to allow them to go to the doctor regardless of their medical insurance.
There was no mortgage moratorium to prevent them losing their house.
There was no unemployment, regardless of their reason for losing their job.
There was no extra $ 600 a week from unemployment.
There was no stimulus check for $1200 {mind you I haven't gotten one yet either. } There was no talk of another one coming.
So many have lost everything from getting sick, because of things like cancer, and many families have lost love ones from the flu.
Yet
Covid 19 made it different for everyone else.
Blessed by God
Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn
