Getting stronger everyday I stay quarantined
Six feet away
Free to go out, but not close
I want to be free to do things, but cannot
People need to be close
Hugs, I miss them
Kids, grandkids – really miss them
Their noise, pandemonium – never thought I’d miss that
Pandemonium has given way to pandemic
The cases, the deaths, they mount everyday. When will it crest, When will we flatten the curve?
We are not a patient people, we Americans.
Live in PA, do everything in DE. NO MORE. Could get arrested
Cannot visit our beach house, the Mayor has said so. Cannot risk
overloading the medical system there. I get it. Just don’t like it
Invisible bars, building “strength” to break out
Not enough beds, not enough respirators, not enough tests
Not enough nurses and doctors
They are the heroes today. Let’s say a prayer for them and for us
Won’t be able to hold our new born grand baby after the birth this month. Have to wait. We are not patient. Tears
Virtual concerts and inspirational songs. More tears. Love the technology
We will never be the same.
Let’s fix the problem and not resort to fixing the blame as we like to do. No purpose. No one saw this coming like this
Overload of Covid Info. Does everyone feel they need to send COVID -19 updates?
Wash your hands and sing happy birthday.
Where’s my mask? Where are my rubber gloves? What day is It?
Schools closed, restaurants closed, stores closed, churches and synagogues closed.
Online school and religious services. Not the same. Need to interact with people
Hair is growing longer. Time to try that pony tail I never could because of my job.
Primary elections on hold. Sorry Bernie. Sorry Joe. That is your sacrifice I guess.
The world is suffering. A true World War. No one, no place is being spared
Zoom meetings, business, family, friends
Pray the internet and electric continue to work
Eating everything in sight
Face masks and rubber gloves
At risk people, older, medical issues
Unemployed millions!
Neighbors wrote us a note. “We are here for you”. Groceries, Meds, they’ll pick up for us. Guess we really are old. Kindness happening
Daily updates from our President, Vice President and the task force.
Fauci and Birx. The best of the best. Calm, straight forward, factual. Should be on Time Magazines’ front cover. People of the year.
Binge watching Outlander, Homeland
Missed Phillies opening day. The world didn’t come to an end.
Stock market plunges, then rises, then plunges some more. Ugghhh
Cruise was cancelled. Missed the tulips in Amsterdam.
Home schooling, walks with the kids. Bonding. Who knew?
Mercy ships in LA and NYC
Write it down for posterity, for our unborn grand baby and our 2 YO
so they will know what happened
We are a strong people. We are Americans
Invisible bars – will be broken and we will escape back to our lives
