Thanks
to all
who
helped
work to
eliminate
the
virus
WARREN,
MI -
Thousands
of
people
in the
USA in
2020
have
been hit
or
affected
by the
coronavirus
COVID-19
pandemic.
The
disease
followed
the
trail
from
throughout
the
world,
starting
with
China,
beginning
earlier
this
year.
Translated,
it means
thousands
have
died or
are
suffering
in their
homes,
hospitals,
or
medical
care
facilities.
We never
saw
anything
like
this
horrendous
disease
in our
lifetime.
Since
this
virus
hit our
nation,
and
numerous
other
countries,
I do not
believe
there
was such
a
massive
network
of
doctors,
nurses,
hospitals,
and
nursing
homes
organized
to fight
the
virus we
are
seeing.
Since
then,
various
locations
here in
the
states
and
around
the
world,
immediately
began
working
so
quickly
to stop
and
eliminate
the
powerful
coronavirus.
In the
meantime,
hundreds
of
thousands
here and
around
the
nation
did.
Family,
friends,
or
relatives
weren’t
even
able to
say
goodbye
to their
loved
ones and
friends.
Families
were
required
to stay
in their
homes.
Later
supermarkets
and
grocery
stores
were
permitted
to sell
food
while
some
supplies
were
diminishing.
Thanks
go out
to the
numerous
markets,
restaurants,
Eastern
Market
area,
deli
shops,
etc. who
helped
fill the
food
gap. A
big
thanks
to the
management
of all
the
stores
and
restaurants
who were
able to
provide
needed
food
products,
water,
paper
products
and the
like.
Thanks
also to
all the
major
companies
who
provided
products
including
gloves
and face
masks.
At
the
beginning
all
families
were
required
to stay
in their
homes.
Later,
businesses
were
permitted
to sell
foods
because
supply
was
diminishing
in their
homes.
A
huge
thanks
goes out
to the
numerous
businesses
and
store
employees
who
volunteered
to help
out.
Let’s
not
forget
our
outstanding
news
media,
whether
newspapers,
television,
radio or
whatever
they
used to
report
about
the
virus.
Too
often,
we
forget
about
the huge
job the
news
media
performs.
While I
realize
the
coronavirus
has not
yet been
fully
eliminated,
it has
been
amazing
and
miraculous
to see
everyone
working
hard to
defeat
this
menace.
Let’s
also
give a
big
thanks
to the
medical
community,
the
doctors,
nurses,
first
aid
persons,
needed
supplies
and
trucks
to
deliver
what was
needed
of them.
As a
personal
note,
this
month I
celebrated
my 60th
anniversary
of being
a key
person
involved
in the
food and
beverages
industry.
. . the
retailers,
wholesalers,
brokers,
chain
stores,
independent
operators,
colleges
and
universities,
restaurants,
etc.,
and I
have
never
seen
consumers
across
the
nation
come
together
as it
has. Be
sure
they get
the
kudos
too.
When
this is
over, we
should
hold a
massive
get
together
to thank
everyone
for
pitching
in. We
could
not have
survived
this
without
everyone’s
help
along
with the
local
leaders,
Governor
Gretchen
Whitmer,
and
nationally
like
President
Donald
Trump
and his
team,
who kept
us tuned
in to
what was
happening.
In
conclusion,
a big
THANKS
to all
the
medical
community
and
individuals
who are
helping
to beat
this
virus. .
. the
business
community,
various
restaurants,
and
businesses
who
stepped
up to
help
–the
colleges,
the
cities,
the
states,
wherever
they are
from,
let’s
give
them a
big hug!
We
are
happy to
announce
that our
38th
annual
Metro
Detroit
Youth
Day will
be held
on July
7, 2021.
