Between 40% and 50% of children didn’t live past 5 in the US during the 19th century. Popular authors like Charles Dickens documented the common but no less gutting grief of losing a child.

I don't want to live this way, wearing a respirator the whole time, not eating indoors with folk outside our household, constantly alert, constantly defensive, constantly criticised.
But I know that the other way is wrong.
So until a better way comes along, I'll persist.
