    Hi Chrissy! Thank you for your comment. It is hard to share a thought that may bring negative feedback. It has been a couple of weeks since you left the comment, however, so I’m sure you have seen that the numbers of affected people aren’t limited to the elderly alone. From what I’ve observed, a lot of midlifers are dying.

    Sometimes the government knows more than they let on because, when they do let on, panic ensues. Following the rules of social distancing requires a level of trust in our gov’t (I’m speaking specifically of the US) and Americans, in general, don’t feel much trust for their gov’t, right now. I’m glad you followed the rules of social distancing even when it was inconvenient. The current explosion of cases in the US shows that a lot of people didn’t follow your good example.

    Haha! The way toilet paper has become so scarce, we may all be using alternative sources of TP. That will be the next thing to go endangered – butt cream. Maybe we should start buying it by the case? ;)

    Thanks for your comment, Simone! The energies the last few weeks have been pretty crazy. I’m noticing that I have to steer clear of social media and a lot of the news outlets or I get really discouraged. I hope you find some tools to keep your spirits up! <3
