It keeps going. The days go by and we still find ourselves unable to move freely. I’ve gone for walks, but don’t they feel awkward when you have to pass others on their own walks? Do you move a few meters aside? Do you not? How do you do it such that it doesn’t seem like your offended by the person?

So, is it alright to online shop for inessentials? Should I try buying a Nintendo Switch, a vacuum, or a couch? What about books from Amazon or clothing from Huckberry? Should I be pre-ordering Akimoto Manatsu’s photobook from Japan? What is the ethics in these actions?

Should I be putting others in harm’s way? Am I putting others in harm’s way? I guess I am just by doing my normal things. We must be careful and mindful lest we endanger others and ourselves. This virus really is a pain in the ass.

Matched! We made it, guys! Nineteen days. Got heem! We’re at twenty days because as a programmer I start at index zero.

And that’s where my interest in doing work from home. It’s at index zero and an emptiness where I don’t feel like working anymore. I feel like taking a week off to stare at the ceiling. I’ve seen nothing but the inside of my house, but that is all I want to see. I don’t want to see my work laptop. Just this laptop. I don’t want to do any work. We were supposed to have an Easter vacation. Yeah, that’s not happening anymore.

Yesterday I thought I had the rona. Today I don’t think I have the rona. Tomorrow who knows. I feel non-well, and I can’t tell if it is the rona or not. Perhaps I am frightened into feeling like I have the virus. It is all terribly confusing and frustrating.

Now we are truly locked up. The governor has issued the stay-at-home mandate. Except, I’m in an industry that is deemed essential and I have note that should get me through the blockades if needed. I don’t want to go to work. I don’t even want to do any work. I just want to lie in bed and worry about the world. I can’t tell if it is the rona responsible for my lethargy or if it’s naturally occurring because of staying cooped up for two weeks. It has been trying times, but that’s how it will go for the foreseeable future.

Now. I will bake some bread…

If not for me, I do it for the olds and the youngs and the vulnerables. Staying indoors. Staying home. Staying away from people. It’s the only way to keep from getting or spreading the rona.

So we’re also getting more stories about the effects of the rona. It’s scary. I don’t want to contract it. The idea of not being able to breathe is the most frightening. It’s like drowning, my most feared of ways to die. Let’s hope this is not the way we go out.

Keep safe everyone and be smart when you go out.

It’s been a fortnight since I’ve started blogging about this ridiculous situation we find ourselves in. It’s been posts about how I feel, what I’ve been doing, and a smattering of posts with helpful information. Today, here’s one: Apple Corona Virus App.

I’ve downloaded and it asks a series of questions to help you diagnose if you have the rona. It’s simple, free, and available from the app store. It tells me I don’t have the rona, but that I should practice social distancing. Been doing that for 2 weeks now.

It’s funny because Siri can also provide you information if you have the rona as well. Just ask it and it will run down a list for you to answer. It also tells me I don’t have the rona.

Triskaidekaphobia, the fear of the number 13. It’s irrational, but currently so is the world. One day we’ll make sense of how bungled this badly. And heads should roll because of it. Figuratively and literally. THE TUMBRELS!

It seems America has surpassed China and Italy in the number of people infected with the rona. It’s probably even more since testing isn’t really being done. “I see nothing,” says Donald Trump, and we all pay for his narcissism.

Then we find out that Obama’s administration put in some work to game plan a response to such a situation. Read it for all its worth. It’s a plan, but it was a black man’s plan and the racist Republicans would not want anything to do with it. Smart of Obama. The Republicans dumb as turds.

It’s irrational and I know that we’re going to have to live with them for another four years.
