Where Are Our Heroes? Bubonic Plague, Spanish Flu— pandemics killing one third of Europe's population— 50 million people dead. But those were the days before penicillin— so how come coronavirus is spreading like wildfire— no end in sight. Every state in the U.S. infected after outbreak in Wuhan, China with Spain and Italy devastated by increasing cases of death. Parks closed in California— practice Shelter-In-Place with six-feet distancing outside. Sports, concerts, movies cancelled, restaurants and stores shut down to prevent crowds gathering passing on this deadly disease. Where are our heroes in this hour of need— Louis Pasteur, Florence Nightingale, and even the plague healer Nostradamus? Perhaps we could be like those Seven Sleepers of Ephesus or Ramakrishna in trance and wake up when this nightmare is gone.         — Peter Y. Chou             Mountain View, 4-7-2020
