“Remember this: however bad you think things are today, however awful you consider our leaders to be, however stupid you think your fellow Americans are, this country has seen worse times, including - to name a few - the Civil War, 9/11. the Great Depression, and six seasons of Jersey Shore. We muddled through those times. We will muddle through these.”

― Dave Barry

This quote is from Dave Barry's wonderful book, "Lessons from Lucy", which I had the pleasure of finishing today. With all of the current anxiety from COVID-19, this thoughtful and hilarious book was a welcome relief.
