We Have Never Experienced Anything Like This Before

Ellen hasn't killed me - yet.  Monday marks two weeks we have be self-quarantined. I have a feeling we have eight or more weeks to go - UGH!!!!!! We haven't seen our friends for two weeks and may not see them until this is over - phone calls just don't cut it.  

We Have Never Experienced Anything Like This Before. 

Even though we're retired, we were still going out of the house most of the time. I miss going to the gym and shopping. Ellen and I miss going to breakfast on the weekends and out to dinner two to three days a week. We both miss our friends at our bar. 

We Have Never Experienced Anything Like This Before.

I can't imagine what it's like to have to be quarantined at home with young kids that can't go to school for so many weeks. I can't imagine what it's like to have financial worries because of this situation. I can't imagine what it's like to lose your job because of no fault of you own or anybody else. I can't imagine what it's like to worry about toilet paper.

Some think that with couples being home all day long that we will have a baby boom after this is over. I'm more concerned that many more people will get depressed and very unhappy if this goes on for many months. The fact is, the more we worry the more depressed we will get. Who could blame us if we worry?

I have to remind myself that this will be over in the NEAR future. I have to remind myself that three months is not a lifetime. I have to remind myself that America and other Countries will come out of this at least as good as we were or better when it's over.

Is there any good news? I believe so. 

We will have a vaccine and next year's flu season will be milder than many other years, because we now know how to protect ourselves. Hospitals and Doctors will be well equipped to handle this Virus and others that may come, because the two trillion dollars will supply them with the means to deal with something like this in the future. We will know now that something like this can happen and we will never get caught off guard and unprepared again. 

We Will Never Experience Anything Like This Again

To me, the good news is:

We Will Never Have To Worry About Toilet Paper Ever Again
