Cough cough ??

So. I’ve been pretty internally freaked the freak out over covid 19. Seriously. I don’t understand why our government doesn’t shut us all down yesterday. I mean, wouldn’t it be cheaper in the end to pay people to stay home and end this rather than try to wait until folks are dropping like flies to do anything?

This administration has me practically despondent and I can not imagine another term of this bullshit. I just don’t want to live through another term of increased hate/ hate crimes and increased ignorance. The first thing an honest administration should do is make a “Fake News” bill which legitimately bans the dissemination of fake news masquerading as actual news.

Four nights ago I felt bit nauseated before bed. That turned into 36 hours of involuntary purging with abdominal pain followed by weakness and light headed. I was so sick I called the doctor who phone diagnosed me with Norovirus. Last night I suddenly came back to myself. This morning I woke up with a bit of post nasal drip causing me to cough and the first thing I thought was OH MY GOD, NOW I HAVE THE PLAGUE.

So, I won’t go into the city, am terrified about returning to the Y, and really just want to stay isolated until this is over. The husband just started PT again for a rotator cuff tear and all I can think of is his complete lack of hygiene and he will be touching the equipment that scores of potentially infected other people are also touching.

In the end I wonder how I am possibly descended from people tough enough to have survived the ice age, the biblical 10 plagues, migrating across land bridges, eating woolly mammoths into extinction, and all I want to is hide under the bed and disinfect the canned food I may have hoarded early on in this process. Also, despite my predisposition for all natural environmentally friendly house hold products, I’m kicking myself for not stocking up on chemical disinfectants.
