I feel like a mouse in a trap. I’m stuck here with no idea what going on. The virus is spiking in NY. My mom works at a nursing home where most, if not all, of the patients have tested positive and now she doesn’t feel well. I just wish this monster would go away just as fast as it spread. It has made me pessimistic about everything. The government can say whatever they want about the it but no one really knows what to do. Worst case scenario, it’s like the Walking Dead (hopefully without the zombies), rationing food and supplies. I’ve already started eating less just in case the super markets and public businesses are shut down.
As terrible as this plague has been I’ve realized that I am very lucky. I have my family that loves me, I have food, I have a place to rest my head. There are people other there of all ages that needed the free lunch system at schools to eat daily. There are people that depend heavily on food pantries. There are people in abusive households that have been stuck there for weeks now. There are people who don’t have access to their medicine. There are people who can’t even hid from the monster because they don’t have a home.
Yes, families fight all the time but at least we are all together during this time.
