COVID-19 Frenzy

COVID-19 Frenzy

There was a new vocabulary including Social Distancing, Flattening The Curve and Herd Immunity. We made many, many face masks to donate as well as for our family and friends. We were grateful for our First Responders and our health. We lost some of our freedoms when confined to our homes during the quarantine. We hoarded toilet paper, hand sanitizers and washed hands frequently. We had Coronavirus anxiety, uncertainty, fear and worried often about the pandemic, jobs and the economy. We wondered how long it would last if there would be a vaccine or cure.

Journaling Corona Virus from A to Z

Keeping a journal helped me cope with my emotions and record this long quarantine period. There were so many questions and exclamation points during this surreal time.

The constant media hype made me wonder and worry if it was everywhere and when it would end!
