Paul Leroy Robeson (wiki2.org)
I reread my post and made a change. If one returns to work untested and works in a contaminated environment, one’s life is a stake and contagion will continue exponentially.
To liberate…
The Washington Post has stories and pictures that tell the unacceptable. President Trump is smiling as he encourages States to end the lockdown using the word “liberate.” “Liberate?” People may return to work because they have yet to receive money from Washington. What happened to the “stimulus” fund?
If a person has not received an income for two months, he or she may return to work at the cost of his or her life, which is scandalous. Before a person reënters the workplace, that person has to test negative and the workplace must be as safe an environment as possible.
There is enough money in the United States to keep people secure for a few more weeks. At the moment, returning to work is unsafe. Moreover, some people will have suffered emotionally and mentally. They require help.
Paul Robeson was a magnificent singer.

Thank you lobotero. Paul Robeson is a hero. Joe Hill was executed, but his spirit didn’t die. Workers organized.

Unclerave, I am witnessing a tragedy, Covid-19, which in Quebec compares only to Italy and China. So Molière is no longer my main subject. I have two short one-act theoretical plays to do. I have finished that work. But I am hearing about persons dying in long-term facilities, which I could have predicted. It’s the system. The Premier of Quebec asked J. Trudeau to send in medically-trained members of the Canadian Armed Forces. Trudeau did. A week after I went into self-isolation, people were still leaving the province to take a holiday. If I fall ill, I will not seek medical attention. There are 19,319 cases of Covid-19 in Quebec, and 939 persons have died. In short, I am not in a very good space. As well, I have not finished settling in my “new” apartment. The place is full of bookcases. They’re crowding the apartment and making me feel very uncomfortable. No one wants the books. It’s a bit discouraging.
I thank you for writing. One hopes nobody will notice a change, but I am seriously unwell. Take care, Micheline
P.S. I love Robeson. The best “Plaisir d’amour” I have heard is his, in perfect French. I don’t think it has been remastered.
