When they claim slavery it like a gut punch. When they call it bravery then they are admitting it is real.

But the heroes are the people who are complying with the restrictions and stay at home policy.

The real heroes are people who fight this everyday. The real heroes are the essential workers.

The real heroes are the brave ones. . . and it ain't the gun toting Nazi and confederate flag waving mean spirited ones.

The healthcare workers are exhibiting bravery. Taking care of the sick exhibits bravery. Going to the beach or going to a bar is not brave.

I haven’t washed in a month. I can’t get within six feet of anyone no matter how hard I try.

I’m not sure that counts as brave.
