Time at home
Not away
Time with you
Yesterday and today
Time for a smile
And that between us look
A moment of laughter
And reading a book
Time to think
To wonder and dream
Where might we go
You and I, a team
It’s getting late
We head for bed
We await tomorrow
With neither fear nor dread
The New York Times reports while coronavirus takes its toll around the world, citizens of many nations are finding little to no help from their governments. While in other countries, help is abundant.
Elias Calcoen and his partner opened a cafe in Brussels eight months ago. It has been closed for more than a week, but the city’s government is offering small businesses immediate $4,300 payments, plus $1,300 a month in federal aid for displaced self-employed workers.
The USA Today report quotes an influential IOC member as saying,
“On the basis of the information the IOC has, postponement has been decided,” (Dick) Pound said in a phone interview. “The parameters going forward have not been determined, but the Games are not going to start on July 24, that much I know.”
Pound, a Canadian who has been one of the most influential members of the IOC for decades, said he believes the IOC will announce its next steps soon.
“It will come in stages,” he said. “We will postpone this and begin to deal with all the ramifications of moving this, which are immense.”
