Halloween began as the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, marking the moment when the veil between the dead and the living was lifted, and the two worlds could commune. For about 2000 years, October 31st meant bidding adieu to summer, preparing for winter, and remembering the departed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We give tribute to those we love who have passed on, because Gothtober and Halloween are definitely about pumpkin spice, but also we acknowledge the end of the harvest, and the end of life. Here we honor and remember the departed. You will never be forgotten. Cor Cordium.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

No matter where you are, or where you go, I will always be your sister and I love you…

CORONAVIRUS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My brother James tested negative 4 times for coronavirus, yet lost his life to a mysterious illness that attacked his lungs and took his life while he was in quarantine, after weeks of putting up a noble fight. He was put into an induced coma, was on a respirator, and displayed all of the symptoms of covid for the duration of his illness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A team from Johns Hopkins Medicine has found that PCR-based tests for SARS-CoV-2 have a false negative rate of at least 20%, depending on the time of testing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of widespread supply shortages and overwhelmed medical providers, many who sought viral testing in the first months of the pandemic were refused for not meeting strict criteria. Others decided on their own to self-quarantine. Some received negative results from local testing sites despite clinical signs of the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe that epidemiologists studying the year 2020 years from now will see and recognize my brother’s, and thousands of other deaths as one of many unrecorded casualties left in this virus’s deadly wake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of September 28th, 2020, Covid-19 has now killed 1 million people around the world, and more are dying as I type.

We acknowledge the horrors of this pandemic and the unnecessary loss of life that government neglect is producing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those of you who were taken from us: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memoria De valens vivat tamque vestri: Your Memory lives on<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will march for the dead, and fight for the living. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
