am the only trans person on the frontlines in DC securing the safety and integrity of all COVID-19 tests being given out" - Elle Michelle Washington
I thank every person for their service. May is the month of Capital TransPride and I am especially thankful that every human can serve, because they are human.
And, it's good to see you alive and well.

The room marked "consultation" has two overstuffed chairs so that a person can sit with preferred injection arm away from the wall and within easy reach of the pharmacist. In some cases, people from the same home can enter the room together; all parties in face masks. The big red syringe disposal bin stands next to the waste receptacle now filled with disposable gloves, alcohol swabs, adhesive bandage wrappers, and heart-shaped "I got vaccinated" sticker backing material. Perhaps future archaeologists who unearth this layer of debris will know that a surge in public health response took place around this time in the flow of history, not only in west Michigan, but around the planet; although the distribution and making of vaccines and related injection gear is very unevenly spread around the world.
A few numbers and indicators of pandemic conditions around the city, state, and nation come from the Internet:

April 17: Where I Drink My Coffee
This is my current weekday coffee drinking spot. Somehow I inherited Caleb's old child-size desk chair. It's horribly uncomfortable and I'm in need of an upgrade.

The government has taken over our lives in ways we would have never imagined. First they claimed we would have to "stay at home" and "stay safe at home", until they "flattened the curve", then the goal post was moved to "we must stay inside until we get a vaccine". Then pompous NY Governor Cuomo told his constituents to stay home, don't go out, shouted for ventilators on and on he went. A recent report shows that those infected and dying in NYS were people that stayed at home, were retired or unemployed. That group was affected by Covid 19 more than anyone else in that state, 66%, to be exact. Winston Churchill once said, "No crisis should go to waste". Will our politicians take advantage of this crisis to fundamentally change our freedoms and way of life. Will they use this crisis to further their financial enrichment? There are signs this is already happening. They are arresting people that open their businesses, they send in Police SWAT Teams to close down beaches, parks and parties at private homes. Mayor Lightfoot in Chicago said she would arrest anyone that had a party.
And just prior to this massive government overreach, Senators Burr, Feinstein, Inhofe and possibly others dumped millions of dollars in investments shortly before the recent market crash. They did so after receiving daily briefings on the Covid 19 health threat. How have these people achieved political office? That's a question all Americans have to grapple with after Covid 19 is gone.

This is not one of my "art" photos, folks, but it is a way to keep in touch. Hope you are all well & staying safe! I live near Albany, New York. We do not yet have a dangerous number of COVID-19 cases, but only time will tell if things will remain that way. We have been urged to stay home by Governor Cuomo & I really admire the way he is handling things! Even so, there are folks who are not taking the situation seriously & are, thereby, endangering all of us! I have been sheltering since March 13th, 4 days before the first case was reported in my county. I heard that I should drive my car at least once a week for at least 20 minutes with some highway time. Today, I decided to go on my regular shopping route, without leaving my car. I drove to our big local mall--always busy--& found an essentially empty parking lot--a sobering reminder of the situation in which we find ourselves!
