And on the last day, just as the large asteroid is about to turn Earth into a huge cloud of gravel, some kind soul will still be filling the soap dispensers. It’s as special as any other prayer. We’ll all do it now and Zen.
Like all our attempts to put things into two piles, chronic and communicable diseases get a little fuzzy. Chronic conditions last more than 90 days, are not passed to others and may be controlled but not cured. Cancer would meet the first two but so many forms can now be cured.
