COVID-19 Lockdown, Day 4

Getting more into the swing of things. Many distractions while trying to work today, especially with the cats constantly jumping on the table while I am trying to concentrate. I have a back-up plan moving forward, but I won't use it just yet since the wife likes having me around the house. I miss my office. I miss meeting with my clients. I miss church. What's the use of complaining, however?

Things could be worse. My best friend's husband's mother died, and he couldn't even go to the funeral because of this stupid pandemic. I feel for him, especially since I had a nightmare last week that my mother passed. Maybe the dream was a premonition for someone's mother and not necessarily mine. Thanks be to God, my mother is alive and well. But then, she is not allowed to die. I forbid it.

The more I think of this stay at home order, the more I think of the upcoming Passover. It's like I am stuck inside waiting for the Angel of Death to pass by. Where, however, is the goat's blood on the doorpost and lintel? When will it pass by, already, so life can return to normal?

Signing off.

COVID-19 Lockdown, Day 343

I am glad that more and more people are getting the vaccine. A senior client of mine had just gotten his second shot this week, and he will be fully immune by the middle of March. I have heard that my senior friends and my mother are starting to at least get appointments. On top of this, today's news is that FDA approved a third vaccine--from Johnson & Johnson. This vaccine is a one shot deal; yes, there are no booster shots. Before you celebrate, please keep in mind that this vaccine is only  up to   85% effective. I don't know how this was considered good enough (still better than Astra Zeneca), but I think they should only give this vaccine to young adults in good health. The other two, especially Pfizer, should be given to the older and/or frail populations.  It was announced that the COVID-19 death toll reached 500,000 this week. Is it me, or did the death toll increase by 100,000 people since Biden took office? You tell me. Anyway, I see that only 2 of you ...

COVID-19 Lockdown, Day 146

  Another rough week. My paternal grandmother, Grandma Margie, has been diagnosed with, you guess it, COVID-19. She is non-symptomatic, and she is in isolation. Guess how I found out about it? From my brother on my father's side--in my Facebook newsfeed. Of course, I started to worry because no one called or texted me to tell me. I sent a message to him, my younger paternal brother, and my paternal sister. I asked them when they heard about Grandma. I also included my old man in the text, wanting to know what her condition was and why no one called me to tell me. As it was late at night, I did not get a response for either of them, but I managed to enhance my calm well enough to go to sleep. When I didn't get a return call in the morning, I called my old man again. (Sidebar, my apologies if the moniker for my father offends you; that's just how I refer to him.) I got ahold of him, and he was very nonchalant about my concern, He said that she was fine, and he said that I wou...

COVID-19 Lockdown, Day 365

 A whole year; a whole year has passed since I started writing this blog. It has been three days since the one year anniversary of the pandemic. This pandemic caused suffering all around the world, but not as much as it has affected Americans. As of today, 29,920,435 have been diagnosed with COVID-19. That is almost 10% of the population. That means, of ten people with whom you will interact this day, one will have had it or are suffering from it now. Also, the latest death toll is 544,424. Hence, if you have not lost a relative or friend from COVID-19, you know someone who has suffered such loss.  Let us look back a year ago and compare it to last week. First, there were still hate crimes and acts of intolerance against ethno-racial minorities, only the last weeks have seen an increase in racism towards Asians--since they are being accused of bringing the virus to America (even if they were born here and never left).  There was an incidence of our President sli...
