One of the things we are seeing is the lowly wage earner has become Batman; superhero but without the cash. The front lines of the crisis are being "manned" by the nurse, the janitor, the warehouse worker and the customer service person. Many of this workers are Women. They are literally risking the lives of their family just to make sure you have enough arse wipe. While they are showing the world how selfless they are, we have the rich government official looking at ways to profit. Governments are taking this pandemic as an opportunity to give money to their rich buddies. At the same time Amanda is busy cleaning the shelves, the door handles and every inch of the local Wally-mart. Aarushi is doing triage at the emergency room with hardly any chance to rest. We are seeing the best in a select group of people.
We are also seeing the ugly even in the early stages of this uncertain pandemic. People are bringing out the hate. We just saw a young man stab a family Asians as they were buying groceries. Along with the parents the young man stabbed a 2 year old boy in the face, a two year old in the damn face. Not very sportsman like wouldn't you think? There have been numerous attacks on Asian Women. This really bothers me, I happen to like Asian Women, I like all Women actually. I may not have the Asian Fetish, but I do watch a lot of Asian shows on Netflix with a preference for Korean shows. Even the men are quite good looking. The President of the United States and his arse licking followers (those syphilitic parasitics) just plain evil. There is no other explanation for how they behave. The media tried to paint the Prez as suffering from sickness but really the guy is just an ugly human being. The ugliness of people has been on full display now for a number of years. The pandemic is just another chance for the ugly hate filled to come out of their caves.
There is a possibility many of us are not going to survive the pandemic (may have 2.2 million deaths US), if the forecasters are right. So it might be time to consider plans should you die a horrible death, not being able to breathe. But let's not talk about that, okay? Lets us remain positive and hope it is a quick and honourable death, like that of a Samurai. Not their Seppuku death (that is horrible) but the kind where the Samurai lops off your head clean and quick with the Katana. Now that would be a cool death (if dying could be cool because it is not. I have seen death and it's ugly). So we should be speaking with our loved ones.
The cost of death can be prohibitive. It can be too expensive to die. The costs associated with death can range from $7,000 to $12,000 on average. This is not even those extravagant funerals, with a live Band and all the steak and lobster dishes. This is industry average for a standard casket viewing funeral according to Google. I don't want to be a burden with my death. I mean after all the remains are just rotting corpse and I am not in there anyway. I guess going for the most inexpensive means is our best bet, go cheap or go home. I think we cannot just bury bodies anywhere these days, so cremation is the alternative. Although I hear there is the natural burial or the Green burial thing. If that is an option than going that way is good. If my family wants to go that way it is good, but its a cost thing again so maybe cremation will be the cheapest way for us. And what to do with the ashes of my burnt up body. There is this creepy urn which is 3-D printed to look like a head. You can have your ashes in a head that looks like you. Not sure if my wife would like that? I don't want expensive urn, just something like a wooden box. And no service. I am not a Church person these days. I don't want a funeral at all. Maybe family can have a meal and set a dish for me. We do that for our Mom Dad and our boy on their birthdays, their death day and sometimes at holidays. Play a song for me once in a while, enjoy a cup of tea, Earl Grey hot. And remember my love for you all.
So don't be scared to talk about it. I know we were told that talking about death invites it. I don't invite it, but I want my family to be aware as we are not guaranteed long life in any circumstance.
