sandra_boynton • July 4, 2025 PATRIA You do not love her less when her skirts are torn, Her standard bloody, dragging in the mud, Her ankles fettered, chafed, her eyes cast down, Her ghoulish captors dancing her defeat; This is the time, instead, to love her more, With all the fervency of desperate hope, Which sees, beyond the black horizon, fire That may be battle, or the burst of dawn. -Keith Boynton 217 Liked by innancyd and others sandra_boynton My son Keith wrote this powerful sad strangely inspiring poem this morning, and it completely upended me. #IndependenceDay less

What's the chance that I actually have the disease given that I tested positive? b. If in fact I don't have the disease, what's the chance that I would've gotten this positive test result?
