COVID / Day 5

I apologize about the delay in getting this posted.

For the last four days, I have spent countless hours watching or reading articles, psyching myself up for something that would hopefully end this terrible situation that we all find ourselves in. Unfortunately that has not happened and each day wake up to a surreal world that feels more like being in another dimension of Earth. Well, let me just say today was not a good day for me I was pent up on verge of panic attack for the majority of the day. Let me give you a little background what led to this.

Last week we all pretty much knew this Corona Virus was going to be a thing, many of us downplayed it that it would be less than H1N1 in 2008 and that many of us it would just be a nasty cold for a few days, then we would move on with our lives. Well, nothing has ever stopped me from going to the movies, I have driven an hour in tropical storm conditions to watch a movie, I went to the movies two days last week. Then with news of impending social distancing standards and possible lockdowns, I told my family lets go have some fun before we get stuck in our house forever. We went to Universal Orlando for dinner in City Walk (the theme parks were closed), played mini-golf and the next day we went for a two night stay at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter resort. Why am I telling you all this you may be wondering? Well today I barely got four hours sleep, I woke  up with a dry mouth and a cough (wet/phlegmy) freaking out I may have the virus and for the entire day I have been on verge of panic on were we too careless before locking down? Do we have the virus? Will we be hospitalized? Will we die? So, I spent the day doing what I do best when I get nervous and that is just mindlessly browsing the internet and news sites trying to justify any of my questions.

Needless to say I got zero of my intended movies watch, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
