The Front Door of the Cedar Street Cinema in Manistique,
We are living in historic times reminiscent of both the 1918 “Spanish” influenza pandemic and the Great Depression of the 1930’s.
People’s lives have been turned upside down, and it is difficult to plan beyond today or this week. The way forward is uncertain. The Upper Peninsula has thus far been spared the devastating numbers of virus cases and deaths that has ravaged Detroit and its suburbs. The danger of course, is that any widespread outbreak here would quickly overwhelm our rural hospitals and sideline many of our health care professionals.
