Social Distancing
Flattening the Curve
Shelter in Place
I must say, these are terms I have not heard before. Perhaps they have been around, but unfamiliar to me. Never in my wildest dream did I ever imagine something like this could happen. I am not worried about becoming ill. The only underlying issue I have is being elderly . . . lol.
{{Personally I don't think 68 is elderly :) }}
I am terrified what it is doing to our country and economy. Both my sons' girlfriends are now unemployed. Thankfully both boys still have jobs. In Ohio, dine in restaurants and bars have been closed for about 10 days. Beginning today, we are to shelter in place. Yes, we can still go to the grocery store, gas station, work (if you still have a job), etc. Don't get me wrong, even though I don't fear becoming ill, I am being cautious. Even before this pandemic, I was staying pretty close to home. I know some of you will find this hard to believe, but I really am a homebody . . . unless it's hooking related. Sadly my rug camp, retreat, hook ins, guilds, etc. have all been cancelled for the coming months.
I did have our March birthday get together on Sunday. Here are the three birthday boys social distancing for the group photo :) On the left is younger son J (39 . . . how did that happen?), grandson Jake (15 . . . how is that possible?) and my brother Bill (70 . . . WTH?). No pic of me!
Such a handsome young man.
If we don't laugh, we'll cry. I still haven't figured the toilet paper issue and it seems no one else has . . . other than if we are quarantined for a long period of time and not allowed out of the house. (Personally I am more concerned about food!) If people would just stop hoarding :( There are so many funny memes out there. I bet when it is finally over, there will be books published with them. Of course, since I wanted to post a few, this was the only one I could come up with.
Be smart. Be safe. Be healthy.
Pug hugs (from 6' away) :)
