This month has been so sad and scary because of the SARS-CoV-2. I have been in the house since last Tuesday self distancing myself (except for the husband) and it has been very somber. I keep a schedule-go to bed around 10 pm and wake up around 7 am, like I usually do when I was working. I feel really bad about not working but my boss told me to finish all my experiments and to stay home. I spend my time making crafts and re-watching dystopian movies like 12 monkeys and 28 days later. I also watched Outbreak and Contagion again. I don't know why I re-watched these movies, maybe to gain insight or clues on what to do? But it is fiction and a sensationalize piece of story telling. In addition to watching these old movies, Netflix, Youtube, and Amazon Prime are also sources of entertainment/wasting time.
This month was the husband's birthday and we went and saw Bonnie Prince Billy at the Town Theater when it was "relatively safe" to gather in crowds in early March. I also had auditions and went to an audition to play in other bands, but now I guess that is all put on hold or canceled. I don't know how long this is going to last-self distancing, staying at home and constantly washing my hands. But my gut tells me at least 2 more months if we follow China's history and data. I am so scared about getting infected since I am 45 and I always get sick at least once a year with chronic bronchitis, which leaves me with a cough/phlegm for 3 weeks. I am going to try to stay positive and keep in touch with people. I am so thankful for grocery store workers, delivery men and women, and lastly health care workers. Without them we would be on our own.
