We’ve been hearing about the SARS-CoV2 virus (coronavirus) for months now, but only stories out of China – not until early February did anything really substantial get shared about how much of a toll it had taken on the city of Wuhan – but it went global very quick. Not SARS global, but Disney global. Restaurants across Canada are shut down, businesses are operating on skeleton crews – I am the only person working in my office right now, everyone else is working from home.
Amy and I have also been doing InstaCart – initially to help pay bills, now evolved into a means of helping people who are basically isolated in their homes at this time. I sincerely hope we don’t catch this – most of what I’ve read about young people is that it tends not to affect them very heavily, but I also hear contradictory news on this.
One silver lining of all of this is that we have been eating out less and getting more activity, which we both very much need. Because of how important Amy’s job is, she has also got a temporary raise, and is working more hours.
I also have a Punky on my lap, which is always a good bonus.
