Letter from Nebraska
Greetings from lockdown in Nebraska. I live about a 5 minute drive from the University of Nebraska Medical Center which houses the Bio-Containment Unit that you are all seeing on the nightly news.
In Nebraska, we are kind of used to the drill of them transporting critical, contagious patients into our city to be treated. (This was the primary facility in the United States that treated ebola patients several years ago.) The local media always covers the planes flying into the airport and unloading patients in bio-secure pods reminiscent of Spock’s in Star Trek. Then there’s a motorcade to the medical center
all filmed live and shown on television in “Breaking News” interruptions as we’re watching “The Bachelor”. The only difference now is that we all know we could just as easily be in one of the pods arriving at the Med Center. Heretofore it was always someone else from a far away land with an exotic disease that didn’t directly affect us. This is a bit more personal. As Nebraskans say, “The chickens have come home to roost.”
FOR LIFE
I'm drawn toward these legal dramas especially when some kind of justice prevails. This show is based on the true story of an innocent man who obtains a law degree in prison and eventually gets himself out. 50 Cent, the executive producer, wanted to tell the story.
"miraculous results to immeasurable challenges."
