In our house things carry on with a somewhat normal routine. The main differences we're seeing at this point is that we just don't go anywhere. We don't visit anyone. And the two grocery store trips I've made over the past month have been nerve-wracking. As of two days ago the CDC recommended that anyone going in public should wear a mask, that no one should be leaving their home except for essential services, and that we will have possibly the worst week to come. Our state feels surreal oftentimes. It feels that many if the residents see this pandemic as some far off, remote threat that can't possibly touch our state. Therefore many are out and about as usual, acting inconvenienced that they can't go to a movie or eat in at a restaurant. There is a lot of ignorance and selfishness by people who see this as an 'old person disease' and feel that since they aren't at risk that they shouldn't have to change their life. Grrrrrr!!!!! I've had anger and frustration in regards to this that's gotten to the point that I can't read a lot of news or comments anymore. The confusion, misleading 'facts' and inability to lead from our White House had intensified the tolls on our country and the individuals in our nation at this point.
I hope and pray that there can be a clear leader, that people will all truly take the 'stay safe, stay home' directive to heart, and that we don't have to continue to see lives lost in this pandemic.
As for now, we'll keep on homeschool, remote working, and avoiding the grocery store like our lives depend on it.
