Isn't it crazy. Right now we are in a moment of history. This will be in history books. Our children will ask us questions about what it was like living during a pandemic. What will we answer them?

Shall we tell them about all those amazing frontline workers who fought so brave for our lives. Who sacrificed their own lives because they got sick while helping others. I'm talking about the doctors, the nurses, the police, the firefighters, people who take care of the elderly, people who take care of people with mental illness. I am very grateful that we have you and I am sorry I forgot someone who is also important, I am also an human being. But I want to thank each and every one of you.

Are we going to tell our children about working from home. Because damn that's a struggle. Trying to do best as you can from your own home. Having to be creative, but also sometimes not having the energy to do anything.
Working from home can be comfortable but also very difficult. You don't really have to get dressed but there is also no balance between work and private-live anymore. And sometimes you can feel attacked or overwhelmed because people are invading your private space.

Are we going to tell them about the run on toilet paper when Corona was new to us all. I never thought that I would see empty ails of toilet paper. I mean when you think the world is ending is that really the first thing you think of. Apparently. It was like a domino effect. People saw other people buying it and were afraid that they would be without it.
So this ended in fights and empty shells.

I don't know about you guys but to be honest I sometimes feel scared. Scared of the world we live in now. Scared that I will make someone sick. I don't want anything to happen to my grandparents. I am afraid that someone will die because they didn't follow the rules or because others were reckless. And that thought alone that something could happen to a loved one frightens me. Because I think a lot of people don't take it as serious as they should be, you can see the numbers. I get that you miss your friends and family and I get that you miss going out. I do too. But I think right now doing such things is just reckless.
I don't want anyone to get Corona so please just follow the guidelines and be safe.

Sorry I was getting a little carried away.

I don't really know what we should tell about COVID-19 to be honest. There is a lot of info. And how do you decide what's worth remembering. I don't know, all I know is that these are crazy times and that I have gotten more respect for certain people.
