Pandemic 3/29/2020

Another day and many more are sick.  The totals:

World:  708,020
United States:  131,366
Virginia:  890
Loudoun County:  61
Maryland:  1239
Washington, D. C.:  342

Gov. Northam has placed the Commonwealth of Virginia under some partial restrictions.  Only essential Employees are to be out and about unless you are going to the grocery store, pharmacy or gas station.  He has backed off on issuing a full stay at home order.  I am an essential employee as is Pat.  Although Pat is working from home.  Beginning this week, I will be working from home one day a week.  I have been stressed worrying about Aidan being home alone for so long.  I was okay with a couple of weeks, even four.  But, now it will be 5 1/2 months until he goes back to school.

The saying for this year is Social Distancing.  I think it will be the phrase of the year.  Social Distancing is a new verb phrase.  It means to not be closer than 6 feet from anyone else.  Sort of puts the cabash on friendly hugs and even putting a hand on the should of someone who needs comforting.

And today we all need some comforting.
