If you haven’t figured it out from the title, or the picture above, Covid-19 and Come On, Eileen fit identically within the same melody line and this socially-distanced blogger may be a little bit too excited about it.
It is nice to hear the term Covid-19 not followed by the terms “crisis” or “pandemic” or “death-toll.” Even though all of the above are true, the onslaught of bad-news-getting-worse over the last few weeks has been, at times, too much to bear, and apparently, 80’s pop songs help.
It is a serious issue, however – the coronavirus pandemic has claimed the lives of more than 10,000 people worldwide and as the virus continues to spread, that number will continue to increase. If you don’t work in the healthcare or grocery industry, you’ve likely been forced to work from home and urged to stay in your house, away from people, as much as possible. It’s a strange time in America. It’s a strange time on Earth, really. We are facing a global crisis – one that affects every single human being on the planet! We all truly are in this together, which is something to keep in mind when figuring out this whole social distance, quarantine thing.
With the virus confirmed in all 50 states and testing beginning to show just how many people are infected, the Federal and many State Governments are placing massive restrictions on public life:
It’s likely that other states are not far behind when it comes to forced business closures and restrictions on public gatherings. The only way to really slow the spread of the virus is for people to distance themselves from each other.

We’re proud to report that we haven’t missed a beat with regard to litigating active cases and we’re also actively signing up new ones!
