And it is all true. Just posting it here so in the future I don't forget what was going on:
Today is Sunday, April 26, 2020.
- We are at 40 days of social isolation.
- The dollar is worth $5.32, the euro $5.77 and the pound $6.54.
- Gas is $1.49 for regular & $1.79 for premium(only in Louisiana)
- Louisiana currently has 26,140 COVID cases, 1,601 deaths.
- US Postal Service - while the rest of the world quarantined, we continued to labor with honor, providing the essential service of connecting the world, and providing our constituents essential (and not so essential) packages.
- Schools have been closed since mid March and are teaching remotely on-line. This will continue for the rest of the school year.
- We have to stay away from each other more than a meter. There are lines / tapes inside the stores to keep people 6 feet apart.
- Bars and restaurants only for home delivery & pick-up.
- Parks, beaches and walk-in places are not accessible to the public.
- All sports competitions have been cancelled. NFL draft was virtual. NCAA was the first organization to cancel fans except family members at the games. Jazz Rudy Gobert was the first NBA player to test positive.
- All festivals and entertainment events have been banned.
- Weddings, family celebrations and birthdays have been cancelled. Funerals limited to 10-20 people.
- People are doing drive-by parades to celebrate birthdays, retirements and anniversaries.
- Young kids can’t understand why they can only see grandparents & other extended family and friends on a screen or thru a window if someone visits in person.
- Hugs and kisses are not given.
- The churches are closed or online.
- Shortage of masks and gloves in hospitals.
- There are fewer ventilators than there should be.
- People are wearing masks, some places even REQUIRE that you wear them to enter! People are even making their own masks for sale or donation to medical facilities!
- Toilet paper, hand sanitizer, antibacterial wipes, isopropyl alcohol and anything Lysol or Clorox is in short supply and limited per person.... IF you can even find them!
- Stores are closing early to disinfect everything. (24 hour stores are even closing by 9pm)
- Store check outs, pharmacies and even fast food drive thru windows have added plexiglass between employee and customer. Have to reach around or under to pay!
- Australia, USA and Europe have closed their borders.
- Zoom took over the virtual comms business.
*or Google Hangout
- No one is traveling for leisure. Airports empty. Tourism has the worst crisis in history.
-Therapeutic services for mental health are being conducted via telehealth for the most part.
- people are afraid to seek medical attention in fear of contracting COVID19
- The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has “sarcastically” advised people to ingest Lysol or Clorox to treat COVID19. Some people believed him.
-Musicians and DJs entertain us with concerts and parties streamed from their homes.
-John Bel Edwards is the Governor of Louisiana. He has led with wisdom and humility.
-Liquor stores are considered essential businesses.
- you can buy a car and have it delivered to
you.
- if you die from COVID19, you must be buried within 3 days.
- the way we grieve has probably changed forever, as we are not allowed to visit our dying loved ones or participate in our cultural rituals and ceremonies.
