Whew. That's rough, blue.
Out state shutdown in the early stages of the virus spread, after seeing how California and Washington reacted. We shutdown before NY, I think, where the virus has spread like wildfire.
I'm deeply concerned about NY. I have family there, but aside from that it's just shocking, how fast the virus is spreading in New York. But Boston is so close.
Yerah, California shut down quickly. We're so fortunate because our governor is a take-charge guy.
My thoughts on this situation is that we could have dramatically reduced the rate of spread, had we taken things more seriously when the virus broke out. Then people would be less afraid. I still think the majority of the U.S. would have ultimately gotten sick from the coronavirus, but we could have slowed the rate of spread so that we don't have people in the hospital needing a ventilator and not getting one because the hospital has run out of supplies.
Oh well. I guess that's an afterthought.
I agree entirely. And think of the difference it would have made if our government would have take change back in January!
Being home has its pros and cons. The biggest pro is that I can do my work in a recliner or in bed. The biggest con is that I can't really go places to get fresh air or a change of scenery. I actually quite enjoy driving to my therapist's office because I am getting fresh air, but obviously this won't happen again for quite some time.
I feel for you. The days when I went to my therapist's office were always bright days. I'm talking to her on the phone, but I'm not quite understanding how that will continue if this thing drags on for 2 or 3 months - or more.
