Everyone is now asked to wear a mask in public. You can have the virus and not know it and you can spread it to others by simply breathing or talking to them. I wore a mask when I walked the dogs yesterday. I saw a few others walking, but they had no masks. Sure, if you stay far enough away from everyone else, maybe you’re safe. But there’s wind and particles travel. It’s still a risk. And you can always take the example of our leader – President Trump, who refuses to wear a mask at all. He says it’s just “not for him, it’s just a recommendation.” The number of infected continues to escalate faster and faster.

The price for gas is $1.24. This is great, but where would we go? Everything’s closed. Gatherings are prohibited, dining in is out. A trip to the store is about it, just to gather essentials and get back into isolation. Everyone who works at the hospital was given a letter from the CEO explaining that we work at a hospital and we are essential workers. He suggested we keep a copy of this letter in our vehicle at all times, in case we need it. People just driving down the road may soon be stopped and cited for not obeying the stay-at-home order.

Since I started writing this post 10 minutes ago, the Covid dashboard now shows 1,135,911 infected. Over 600 more infected in just a few minutes…that we know of.
