Pandemic Ponderings

About 4 months into the Corona Virus Pandemic, the rest of the US is only a month or 6 weeks into it. I say I am 4 months in because my students in China have been at home since the end of December. Working at a grocery market has gone from a job that was stress free (best scenario for me) to one of the most stressful jobs and one of the most needed outside of healthcare jobs.
Watching people who are truly concerned, to those that are taking precautions, to those who are denying it is occurring (it= covid19) is a cycle that repeats itself several times over a day. It amazes me.
Me? I believe we do need to stand at least 6 feet apart, wash our hands often and not touch things and then touch our face or put our fingers in our mouth. Stay home or only go where you need to. I am only going to work, home and one drive up window for lunch when working (so as to not sit in the break room and expose myself or be exposed to others.

I have talked electronically (through text or IM) to both sons. One acts like all is fine. One is having a difficult time overall. A snapshot to how we are all doing I suppose. Myself, I have good days and bad, just as before, but different in what is causing how I view the day. The unknown of what will come in the next months and years as we don't know much about this virus  and there are so many rumors going around.
