Days 64-72
May 19-27, 2020
Oops -- what day is it?
Rather long hiatus for the blog, but we are still here. Some business will be reopening in "Phase 1" on Friday, meaning restaurants will be able to serve people outside and 6 feet apart. Everyone in Virginia is required to wear face masks inside businesses. People are still complaining and even protesting (armed protesting...) about their "right" not to wear a face mask in public.
The death toll in the US hit 100,000 today. Cases and deaths are starting to slow, but it's not like the virus has been eradicated, and we still don't have a vaccine or universal testing. I am in no hurry to go out anywhere in public. We are thinking of trying to visit Kevin's family in NC sometime in June, but only if we can self-isolate for about two weeks leading up to the travel. We wouldn't make any stops along the way.
My friend Lisa is a nurse on the COVID-19 floor at her hospital in PA. She has been self-quarantining twice, once because she had sinus symptoms, and most recently because she was exposed to a COVID-positive patient without wearing her PPE. She's doing fine though, thankfully.
My cousin and his wife just gave birth to their baby girl on Sunday. I know they are relieved that everyone is healthy so far, but I can't imagine if that had been my experience last year when G was born at this time.
