Want to go back

Description

I’m doing okay. I want things to go back to the old normal. I miss seeing people and face to face interactions.
I took my mom out of the retirement home because of how quickly it was spreading in homes for her safety. She is 81 with 2 broken bones in her back and has dementia.
It’s been busy with my mom here and I work during the day, spend my evening with her and when she goes to bed, I do my school work and some chores.
I am currently working from home and am tired of trying to decipher emails, staring at screens for zoom calls and a definite break in communication.
The death count is certainly scary but what is worse for me is how the economy is going to survive being shut down for 2 months and counting.
No, but I know a lot of essential workers who worry about it daily. My brother is a police officer and my sister in law is a nurse. Both scary professions right now.
I think Trudeau and Ford are on the same page and focusing on the health and safety of the people first. Over money and everything else. It’s great to see and they can’t make everyone happy, but I feel that they are doing great especially with the daily changes that happen.
I think normal life will never return. I think people will be more cautious but hopefully more appreciative for what they have. The economy is going to take the biggest hit.
I think people will slow down. The environment will be safer with less pollution.
Until there is a cure, it is just as contagious as it was day one. I worry that as the numbers go down people will worry less about it and the second wave will hit. Only time will tell.
