The effect of Coronavirus on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds

Worst of times? Best of times? Definitely totally confusing. Listen enough to the cacophony of actual news, fake news, rumors, conspiracy theories and anything else flying through the ether, and your head will spin from trying to figure it out.

So many prophesies of doom and gloom. The economy tanking.

Guidelines for how we deal with the pandemic changing almost daily.

When I write this, we’ve recorded over 95,000 dead in the U.S. In a little more than 2 months. Still counting.

But some folks continue to claim this is nothing but the the common cold. No worse than regular flu. Then reminding us that we don’t shut down the country over those.

All the while channeling their inner Lord Farquaad: “Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.”

Wonder if that tune would change if they or their immediate family came down with COVVID-19?

In 5 seconds flat, I’m guessing.

To get back to the title of this article, and to be perfectly honest: I don’t know that there is any effect of coronavirus on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds.

And yet there may well be. By extension. Because, well, everything else has been affected. So why not?
