Could our monetary system be next to collapse?
Could the monetary system of our cash money be next to collapse? However,
at the same time, we must remember what FDR said during his inaugural speech in 1933. "Nothing to fear but fear It itself." FDR was telling the American people that their fear was making things worse. By running to the banks and taking their money out they were causing more damage to the economy.

I have
heard on the news that it is wise to wait at least 3-5 days before handling or opening your Amazon or other packages. While the virus dies off on cardboard in about 24 hours, it lives much longer on other materials. If the warehouse worker who packed the item or delivery person who dropped it off was infected, then there could be a virus present not only on the cardboard or paper of the package, but on any plastic tape, labels, or inside the packaging.
The virus can
also live on paper and many of the materials our coin currency is made of. Chinese banks have started essentially washing money to destroy potentially infected cash before it's redistributed back out to society.
Restaurants are functioning on-to-go menus and delivery, while many of us are
practicing social distancing and wearing masks when going grocery shopping or on essential outings. However, we are still exchanging currency with hand to hand contact in many instances. Money itself is dirty. I remember as a child after handling money my mother always asked me to wash my hands. I can still hear her voice say, "you don't know where that money's been."

Under normal circumstances,
money is dirty, under the current world situation I believe our monetary system is contaminated. Maybe it's best for everyone to start using their debit or credit cards, however, it's also been said, "viruses, in general, tend to survive longer on hard surfaces like credit cards and coins."
When I was young,
I heard the future would consist of a currency free society. In the first century when the book of Revelation was written, the idea that you could buy and sell with a number that is attached in some way to your body would have seemed incredible. However with the world situation as it is now this doesn't sound too far fetched.
The constant partisan bickering is a cancer to our country and must stop. This is not the time! America must unite!
God bless the universe.
