There will be 88,000 alcohol related deaths this year, and every year. I am the only one in the combined families that gives a rat’s ass. I will be calling up AA headquarters to see if it is safe to going to my meeting Thursday night. Alcoholic deaths might triple because THIS DISEASE weakens your immune system. Drug addicts will also be more subject to dying, as are pregnant mothers. My granddaughter Lily Rose Presco will be born in two weeks.
Most of the people in the Hanson and Presco family suffered greatly from alcoholism, this is why they thwarted my Sobriety Novel that would include the miracle of my sixteen year old daughter coming into my life. But, her alcoholic aunt and uncle became alarmed. They were afraid I would degrade them. So did Mark and Vicki Presco. This is why my siblings bid Snyder to depict our famous sister as a Happy Debonair Drunk In Recovery, she being the Talk of the Town – while not drinking a drop. This IMAGE was summoned from a fake sponsor, aimed at making me looking bad – only – and negating my recovery novel that outsiders and a ghost writer – got covered! No need to hear from me!
Yesterday, I saw Heather and Patrice wearing flowery wreath on facebook. The Enchanted Wiccan Healing session-class just ended. My daughter posts a letter from a happy customer. I didn’t go see my therapist last week (she has a degree) for fear of coronavirus. I was going to talk about not being able to have a relationship with my offspring…..BECAUSE OF DENIAL….you know, the shit our President is in as he frets about how a world wide virus hurts his image and, may cause him to lose the election. His buddy Putin is locking up people, and declared himself President for life – no matter what!
All of this does not matter, because the future of the world has been put on hold. Lily Rose Presco….will be born a Coronavirus Kid! Her future looks very bleak. Already she is being employed in The Miracle Healing Program of The Divine Wreath of Womanly Flowers. The Rosary was invented to deal with the plague. I am the Dark Destroyer of Blissful Denial. I deserve to die!

Colleges across the country have begun to cancel classes among growing COVID-19, or coronavirus, fears. National Public Radio estimates that more than 600,000 students have been impacted.
One of the latest schools to shut its doors is Harvard.
On Tuesday, Harvard President Lawrence Bacow announced the school would transition to virtual classes for undergraduate and graduate students. He also said students would be asked not to return to campus following spring break and that the school would no longer be hosting non-essential gatherings of more than 25 people.
An email Harvard College Dean Rakesh Khurana sent that day clarified that students would be required to evacuate their dorms in five days. The move has highlighted the bold steps some schools are taking to address coronavirus — as well as the unintended impact of such actions.
