COVID-19 – This has pretty much changed our everyday lives into a new reality. Right now, most of us are trying to be safe by keeping our distance and staying put in our homes. Right now life is changing before our very eyes. Should you go out to the store for essentials, you of course see the panic buying, particularly the hygiene stuff. We are experiencing a change in our attitudes, and most of all, we our all in panic, as life as we knew it; where we got up to earn a living, gather for celebrations, going to ball games, traveling on vacations, participating in the game of life. There was a certain sense of certainty that we created within ourselves that life goes on and hopefully get better. We are at a crossroads, the planet is in danger; will the inhabitants of this world put all of their issues aside and unite to elevate the current society, or will we continue to practice the same crap again afterwards. (Check out CDC for advise on this epidemic).
During this time, you would probably think that we focus on things that we used to take for granted; more time spent with your family. Most of the time we go out to work, and a lot of times our families become the secondary priority. Sure, we are working to support the family and to make life comfortable for them; but the precious time that we need to nurture and support the family is missing. The older generation can remember a time when mom was at home and Dad went to work to support the family. Their children couldn’t experience this as both parents probably had to go to work to support the family financially. There was a time when stores closed on Sundays, and during the week stores closed early; in most cases we are witnessing this again.
This time of isolation should give us time to reflect on how we live and what are the things that are more important in life. This will be a time that we need to think out what are the real necessities of life are. I would have to agree that now and forever more we should always think about our safety and health 1st and foremost! So with that being said, how about those folks that go out into the public and still touch everything that they can get there hands on, or the folks that don’t want to do the 6 ft apart; they want to hug all up on you in a line to the cash register, cause they are scared that someone will jump the line, or they are just plain out oblivious to what is going on. You see a lot of young folks walking around with no care in the world. By the way are you running out of hand sanitizer or masks? The CDC changed their view on the use of mask, and says it does help, but don’t go out and try to hoard that commodity. You can make your mask at home. Since this announcement you do see more folks wearing some sort of face covering. We are supposedly getting to the worst of this disease. Their is hope and that hope is all on us. We need to follow the CDC guidelines in this time of despair. The quicker we all follow this, the quicker we can get through this and try to return to some semblance of life as we knew it before COVID-19 hit us. Stop by lestalksports.com to subscribe for free.
