Covid-19 Days – 1
“Social distancing” is a great euphemism. It’s going to be the word of the year. Stay one meter away from everyone. Don’t go to large gatherings. Stay home.
Today, I went to celebrate a birthday of an aunt. Before this the host, a cousin, had been advocating all week on Messages that this party should be cancelled. Yet, we couldn’t stand up to our other aunt who wanted to do it anyway. That being said as of this morning most almost everyone was going.
The Messages were still coming. First, one drops out, because of illness unrelated to this current crisis (or so we think). The next one thinks they can show up after being on a train to NYC. She was quickly told that that wasn’t a good idea. My brother was told to stay home as he was in contact with someone who was in contact with the virus.
Yet, I was still went. It wasn’t bad. We FaceTimed to bring those who missed out there. The internet. We’ll use technology to bring us together during these times. The social distance is still far, but now near with computers.
Parties and gatherings will still happen. We’ll just be on the internet. (Maybe.)
