We are in the middle of a global pandemic. All major sporting events have been cancelled. Schools have been put on hold. The majority of people that can, are now working from home. Grocery stores are out of toilet paper, hand sanitizer, Lysol, & canned goods. Churches have shut their doors & are now online.
Families are separated. Kids cannot go see their friends. Public parks are closed to the public.
Unemployment is high & morale is low.
The government has told us to shelter at home, self quarantine, & not go anywhere unless its absolutely necessary.
We are watching China, Italy, New York, & numerous other cities. We are watching & waiting. We are worrying & praying. We are scared, anxious, & even angry.
We have had basic freedoms taken away.
Doctors don't have the answers. The government is grasping for straws. The president is being roasted alive every single time he holds a briefing with the latest information.
Essential employees are working longer hours. They are required to wear masks & gloves, being asked to completely disrobe before they ever enter their homes so they don't possibly infect anyone else.
Today is April Fool's Day.
Does anyone else feel like this is one of the cruelest jokes the universe has ever played?
Does anyone else wish that someone, anyone, would jump out from behind the bushes & scream "Gotcha"?
I feel like we are in the strangest episode of The Twilight Zone ever created.
