As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to keep us self quarantined, physically distanced, and on the brink of going any which way but loose, there is so much to talk about that is good, bad, and downright ugly.
Of course, we’re at home. So, we have to watch something. We got Netflix, Amazon Fire, Hulu, our cable or satellite broadcasting at our beckon call. But, what if you need to concentrate on your work while you are at home under government orders?
There are some things that are missing in our lives. These days of being at home, staying safe, self quarantined, and social distanced (rather, physically distanced) are keeping us in place. But, as spring arrives in most of this country, our yearning to be free becomes fresh in our minds.
Being (self) quarantined and practicing social distancing has caused some form of cabin fever amid the quest for answers from the powers to be. While our first responders and healthcare workers are doing their best with limited resources to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, we are doing what we can to maintain our health and dignity during these times.
There have been plenty of responses to the COVID-19 situation that has permeated into this country. It was reported that the USA now has the most confirmed cases in the world. This has prompted continued responses from governments and the automotive industry to try to stem this virus from doing further damage to society and the economy.
Ford announced on Tuesday, March 24 that they will start producing more than 100,000 plastic face shields for “medical professionals, factory workers, and store clerks” per week at one of their assembly plants in Michigan. They will also produce ventilators, as well as Powered Air-Purifying Respirators, for patients, healthcare professionals, and first responders, as well.
This is a question that we all should be asking our family, friends, enemies, and other human beings during this period of self-quarantine and social distancing because of the COVID-19 situation. It has not been easy for us, as a whole. Some have reached a breaking point. Others have rolled onward the best they can.
Are you sick of what's being done – or, not done – about it by the powers to be? Are you sick of people losing their minds over overstocking toilet paper, while food shelves are trying to keep up with people in need during these interesting times? Rather, about restaurants closing their dining areas and resorting to counter pick-up or delivery?
COVID-19 has begun to crimp several people’s livelihood. It has become a global pandemic that has taken lives, quarantined others, and caused panic in various places on Earth.
