Day 94

Today is June 13, 2020. Saturday. Typically on any Saturday night in June one may find yourself at a baseball game, a concert, a nightclub or any number of social events that are suspended for the foreseeable future. In this current pandemic state the world is getting creative in it's effort to bring those events back to you.  The N.B.A. is planning a restart of 22 teams vying for the championship all in one place, Walt Disney World Resort, and the N.H.L. is planning a similar short season to begin July 10th.  The N.B.A. reboot is tentatively set to begin July 31st. In Germany you can club it in your car with actors dressed in costume dancing outside you car to music, unce, unce, unce! Can you feel the bass!

The world is trying. The airlines are flying. The hotels are opening. The roads are becoming busy again and almost everywhere people are moving and celebrating life again.  Being quarantined inside your house, know matter how much you love your home, for three months is taxing.  You feel the psychological prison as much as the physical walls caving in. The need for sun, air and movement other than exercise is overwhelming as your favorite restaurants and parks and venues are beginning to function in a limited capacity. Especially those events that are taking place outdoors.  Many states and countries still have limits on the number of people gathering, but at least people can gather. 

Yes the virus still exists and it's unknown qualities are still scary. Recently a twenty year old female with no underlying health conditions had her lungs so ravished by Covid19 she required a double lung transplant (never performed in the U.S. before due to the virus). So as the summer blossoms and the sirens call you to venture out and mingle do the research on what is a high risk activity and what is a low risk activity. Here is a link to help you stay informed on what the CDC says about certian activities. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/activities.html

 As I began this entry saying this is Saturday I will end by saying it is no typical Saturday night. Whether you choose to stay in or decide to go out you will consider how the pandemic of 2020 has changed your views on life now and in the future. Same as it ever was may never be again.
