I consider myself a fairly smart man, socially aware and responsible, although sometimes my partner might disagree. I sincerely don’t get the rush to horde toilet paper. This COVID-19 is a respiratory virus and yes self isolating and social distancing are real aspects of today’s reality.
However, toilet paper being hoarded really. It was comforting to see resale websites such as Kijiji and Amazon have stop posting people trying to make an obscene profit off toilet paper. In our house we are good for about 2 weeks of regular use. The world might be an entirely different place in 2 weeks.
On Tuesday September 11, 2001 the World changed due to 911. We adapted and adjusted and life continued. On Wednesday March 11, 2020 the World changed again. Sports came to an abrupt end, travel plans were abruptly altered, mass gatherings of over 250 people have been cancelled or postponed. New words quickly entered our vocabulary and society. Self-isolating and social distancing became the buzz words. Hoarding of supplies became common practice.
This past weekend gone out a couple of time's as my partner says “to run errands”. Regularly it would be to buy sports betting tickets, well so much for that. This time for other errands, the roads are bare, McDonald’s drive thru I was the only one. Thank you Netflix for helping pass the time.
The work week will come quickly enough and we will see what it brings. Everything is fluid and active now. Remaining positive will be tough yet essential. Maintaining a sense of normalcy whatever that looks like is important. Being aware and responsible is key. I am going to everything I can to stay active, positive, kind and supportive and healthy. Life will carry on. It may get worse before it gets better. Life will carry on.
