Day 33, Corona Lockdown

     It's hard to believe we're on day 33 of a countrywide lockdown. Shit, it's a worldwide lockdown! I wake up each morning and the first 30 seconds before I fully come awake, all is well. I sit up on the side of my bed, take a deep breath, and then realize with a sigh, another day in quarantine. Another day with hours to fill and time on my hands. I have been made to slow down, whether I like it or not.

COVID-19, Day 25

     It's day 25 of the COVID-19 lockdown and it still doesn't look any better out there. There are days when I feel like I'm on the set of an episode of The Walking Dead. It's all so surreal. Even though I knew this was coming for a long time, I'm still wondering how this could have happened. Why didn't the leaders of our country put us into lockdown straight away and tighten our borders? They knew what was happening in China and yet they chose to do nothing. I don't understand how they made the decision to play with millions of lives because of big business. Now everything is going to come crashing down on their heads. This virus doesn't care if you are rich or poor. It doesn't care about the color of your skin. It doesn't care about the number of people dying. Our government is trying to help as best they can now, but is it too little, too late? If they had done what was right from day one, we might have been able to avoid the worst of this catastrophe.
