Holden,

Thank you for the link about Papa Doc Duvalier. Yes, we all have our demons. The demons are not only outside of us but also inside us as you well know.

It is good to hear that you are taking your medication without problems. I can say that you are war veteran because you are doing your best to avoid the predators wherever they are. 

As I age my eyes will suffer more. I have glaucoma, presbyopia, myopia and diabetes so my situation will get worse over time. I also suffer from sinusitis. As I say at any time I expect to get infected by the virus and end my earthly existence.

This week an 18-year old girl who was taking insulin was taken from Ciudad del Este, a city on the border with Brazil, to the city capital. She did not survive because of her condition. But also the hospital did not have the equipment to treat her for the virus. She died in the capital. And at the same time an 82-year old man was released from the hospital after recovering from COVID-19.

I heard of the long conflict that India has had with China. We will see what happens between the elephant and the dragon. By the way I read that in China they found that a new swine flu could become a new pandemic. The U.S. government has bought most of the world´s remdesivir, an antiviral drug for the COVID-19. It is very expensive, around US$ 400 per vial. Other countries are all excluded from accessing the drug. Business is business.

I understand that you would not want India to go to war. The problem is that India is a nuclear power. I am sure there are among the Indian military those who are eager to push the button and launch the warheads.

Like you most of the things make me sad. The Christians say that the true purpose of life is to prepare for life after death, so they saw domestic duties, family, houses, wage earning as barriers, whereas the the eremitic life, was the school of heaven.

Stay safe.
