    "I cannot do this Sam."
    "I know. I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be in this quarantine.
    But we are.
    It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this sickness. Even this plague must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folks and doctors in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. Because they were holding on to something."
    "What are we holding onto Sam?"
    "That there is a cure for this sickness Mr. Frodo. And it's worth being quarantined for."

      💜 I had a very bad day. I felt so alone and just wanted a hug from a friend after I ve been socially distancing for about 2 weeks so far. I miss to hug my friends I miss my mom who I can not visit for it would be to risky for her, I miss hanging out with a bunch of people. I even miss over crowded streets and rude customers at work.
      After reading this, I feel better. All we have to do is keeping our distance and hanging out at home. At least we do not have to walk to Mordor 😅

      Wish you, your family and everyone else health and happy thoughts.

      In Lotr backstory, in the past long before Frodo's quest there was event known as...the Great Plague (or Dark Plague) a deadly infectious disease which spread across Middle-earth:
      "The second and greatest evil came upon Gondor in the reign of Telemnar, the twenty-sixth king... a deadly plague came with dark winds out of the East. The King and all his children died, and great numbers of the people of Gondor, especially those that lived in Osgiliath."
      The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A, Annals of the Kings and Rulers: Gondor and the Heirs of Anárion
      ...
      "In the days of Argeleb II the plague came into Eriador from the Southeast, and most of the people of Cardolan perished, especially in Minhiriath. The Hobbits and all other peoples suffered greatly, but the plague lessened as it passed northwards, and the northern parts of Arthedain were little affected."
      The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A, Annals of the Kings and Rulers: Eriador, Arnor, and the Heirs of Isildur
      Art imitates life and as for centuries our world was plagued by epidemics and so it happens in fictional worlds of our imagination. And just like the fictional peoples of Middle-earth managed to survive and prosper once more so will the world now:
      "Beyond the Baranduin the Periannath survive, but suffer great loss."
      The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B, The Tale of Years: The Third Age
      ...
      "[The Hobbits] prospered and multiplied after the Dark Plague (S.R. 37)..." and so let this be message of hope.

      In the land of China, in the fires of Wuhan, the Dark Lord SARS forged in secret a master virus, to control all others. And into this virus he poured his coughing fit, his bat soup and his will to social distance all life. One Virus to rule them all.
      One by one. The free lands of Europe fell to the power of COVID 19 but there were some who resisted. The last alliance of doctors and nurses marched against the armies of corona and on the borders of Italy, they fought for the freedom of europe.

      I enjoyed that too ^^. Hehe
      When we study vaccinations, viruses, etc we are able to make an educated choice for ourselves on what is best for us.
      Getting vaxxed or not is everyone's choice. We should respect one anothers choices, and not be unkind or cruel to those who chose differently than we do.
      It makes sense to know, and hopefully want to know, any and all information about what goes along with any choice we make for ourselves, and those we have charge over. To be educated with the proper information on what we do or do not put in our bodies, or do, and do not do to our bodies.
      Does that make reasonable sense?
      I suppose we could choose to give our trust to someone, their degree(paper) and not validate any claims. That is a choice too, but one me and my family are unwilling to make.
      I'd like the know more details on the studies and trials of all vaccinations. The amount of people tested. Their bloodtypes. The amount of people per bloodtype group. The epigenetics. DNA, RNA data etc. The vaccines effect on each blood type, as well as how many introductions to each vaccine were given, and how each person, with each type responded to the vaccinations.
      I would then like to know long term affects and studies.
      The data currently available via CDC and other .gov sources doesn't currently give enough for us to be vaccinated or take our families to get them, beyond what we've already received, some of us never having any.
      We stopped when my government position's vaccination mandate put me in the hospital in 2013. I've even been in the medical field, not required by law to get vaccinated. It never was law. I have notarized documents allowing me freedom. 0 doctor visits since even with travel. The personal data of myself, family, and the vast number of others living similar, is well more than enough data for us to make our conclusion vs the observable results witnessed in societies "pop" practices, and data given via cdc, fda, etc.
      Getting vaxxed or not Is less important than how much information, and what type of information we have vetted about that subject, the subject on the earth we live, or whatever subject is up for discussion.
      Let's be informed. Let's look into things for ourselves. Let's put in our own work, not being lazy, piggy backing on someone else's efforts.
      Let's above all be kind to those around us, love one a other, respect one another, regardless of the choices we make, or even if we are unwilling to seek, read, study for ourselves. Everyone has value regardless if and when we've been right or wrong.
      Blessings reader.

    "No, Sam," said Frodo", "I know that such things happened, but I cannot see them. No taste of food, no feel of soda, no sound of the PA system, no memory of shop or plaza or parking lot, no payments of cash or credit or debit card are left to me.

    Bilbo Baggins: All of them at once, I suppose.
    Gandalf: Hmm.
    Bilbo Baggins: Can I help you?
    Gandalf: That remains to be seen. I'm looking for someone to share in a quarantine.
    Bilbo Baggins: A quarantine? No, I don't imagine anyone west of Bree would have much interest in quarantines. Nasty, disturbing, uncomfortable things. Make you run out of toilet paper. Heh, heh. Mm. Huh. Hmm. Oh. Ah. Good morning.
    Gandalf: To think that I should have lived to be "good morninged" by Belladonna Took's son as if I were selling emergency supplies at the door.
    Bilbo Baggins: Beg your pardon?
    Gandalf: You've changed, and not entirely for the better, Bilbo Baggins.
    Bilbo Baggins: I'm sorry, do I know you?
    Gandalf: Well, you know my name, although you don't remember I belong to it. I'm Gandalf. And Gandalf means... ...me.
    Bilbo Baggins: Gandalf? Not Gandalf the wandering telemarketer... ...who made such excellent hand sanitizer? Old Took used to have some on Midsummer's Eve. Heh, heh. Ahem. No idea you were still in business.
    Gandalf: And where else should I be?
    Bilbo Baggins: Where else...? Ahem, making more?
    Gandalf: Well, I'm pleased to find you remember something about me... ...even if it's only my sanitizer. Yes. Well, that's decided. It'll be very good for you (Bilbo looks at Gandalf confused) and most amusing for me. I shall inform the others.
    Bilbo Baggins: Inform the who? What? No. No. No... Wait. We do not want any quarantines here, thank you. Not today. Not... I suggest you try Over the Hill or Across the Water. Good morning.

And the children will be testing in the public schools. And they’ll be sowing the summer wheat in the Mexican fields. And the restaurants will be open again... And wiping for the first time with Cottonelle Ultra. Do you remember the feeling of toilet paper?
