The mixed blessing

Every presidential election, the ground troops are out in force. Even in mid term elections, my door is beat upon by those canvassing for signatures / support / etc. It goes beyond yard signs, and full on into people being right in your face.

This particular election is... heated, shall we say. Civil debate isn't. I know people who refuse to display any loyalties for fear of vandalism. 

But this pandemic, this airborne disease with no vaccine and limited treatments, lingers on. An illness that kills old and young alike. One that's contagious before you even know you're sick.

It's October and nobody has come to my door. I have seen nobody canvassing neighborhoods, meeting people in public places (outside the library was a popular spot). Everyone rightly fears the virus.

Two edged sword, people.
