Writing prompt - July 2, 20207/2/2020 The neon sign made me contemplate what I would get eventually. Hopefully not covid-19. Twelve months ago I would never have thought that we would be required to wear facemasks when shopping or that it would be necessary to socially distance. That my children would be schooled at home for six months. That more than 45,000 people in the UK alone and more than 585,000 worldwide would die from this horrendous virus. That over 13.5m people worldwide would have it. It is shocking. A good job we cannot look into the future. However, this is nothing compared to the 500m cases of Spanish flu between 1918 and 1920 and the subsequent 50m deaths.
No, the sign referred to the meaning of life.
