We have fought very hard together in an unprecedented display of global and national courage, justice, discipline and wisdom. How many people have been saved from COVID-19, too many to count? It wasn't easy, it wasn't handled perfectly.

We didn't do everything we could have, but we did a lot. You did a lot. But before you congratulate yourself, you must remember what the Stoic said that Fortune deceives us, that often just when we think the worst is passed, we find we are not yet even halfway. Imagine Musonea's Rufus after his first or second exile. Oh, it's over he must have thought. It's all upside from here. In fact, at least

two more exiles remained. Look to history too. In John M. Barry's haunting book on the great influenza, he writes of the relief people felt when the Spanish flu seemed to be winding down. They thought it was over. Actually, only the first wave was done for the virus had not yet disappeared. He writes, it had only gone underground like a forest fire left burning in the roots, swarming and mutating, adapting, honing itself, watching and waiting, waiting to burst into flame. You cannot relax yet. You cannot drop your shield as the Spartans would say. You must continue to protect the line, to act with courage and justice and discipline and wisdom.
