I rather be living poor, than well off six feet under.
The good part is that a lot of bright minds are working day and night to find a cure and I believe we are getting very close to understanding and beating this monster.
P.S. One of the best investments I made when this thing paralyzed schools, I bought my son e-reader and connected it to a big public library. Since March, he read dozens of books outside of school curriculum. I am very proud of him.
