What do you think that all of the people who attended AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) are doing now that they cannot meet?
The couple that I know still attend meetings but they are really spaced out. But you do have a good point, many Americans were already treading water mentally and this has to be putting many over the edge. The temptation to drink right now would be extreme. Some states like Pennsylvania have banned alcohol sales, but that recently backfired in a Mexican community, where people seeking booze drank methanol instead.

By Hayley PhelanMay 9, 2020If ever there was one, Susan Miller would be a blue-chip astrologer. So, in January, when she appeared on CBS New York and predicted that 2020 would “be a great year, and it will be a prosperous year,” people listened.People listened when she said Capricorn would be the year’s “celestial favorite,” and that Cancer was the most likely to wed; Libra was set to score in real-estate and Taurus could expect a calendar full of international travel.And then, people got mad because — it probably doesn’t need pointing out — things didn’t exactly go according to the stars’ plan.

Ms. Nicholas said she knew 2020 would be a tough one, but it wasn’t only the stars that gave her that clue. “It’s an election year,” she said. “And election years are always tough.” Add that to growing warnings about a coming recession, and her own astrological calculations, and Ms. Nicholas felt confident in her own conjectures.
