It's 4/29/2020 and I haven't been to my job since 3/12/2020. I am on unemployment, like 10 million other people in the United States right now.
There is a virus going around the world and people are dying. 60,000 dead so far in the U.S., over 1 million worldwide.
We have been told to Stay Home/Save Lives. Flatten the Curve. Wash our hands, don't touch your face., wear a mask......
For 7 weeks now, that's what I've been doing.
It's been wonderful...
So much Family time, family dinners, family dog walks, board games, movie nights, household re-arranging, grocery deliveries.
It is interesting the types of things you can still do:
Go to fast food
Go to Home Depot
Go to Target
Go to grocery stores
At 8pm every night, whole neighborhoods HOWL in appreciation for the "Essential Workers", the Doctors, Nurses, retail workers, and all the other people who are working while we stay home.
No one knows how long the Stay at Home orders will be in effect. Some states want to open everything now, others don't. Our nation is more divided than ever.
