Day 2
March 18, 2018
Today I went to work as usual, 6.30 am let myself in the office. Apparently we are operating at full capacity?
For my company is business as usual. What virus are you talking about? 4.15 pm punched out, and decided to get for a ride with my husband to get some "toilet paper" for the kitties, aka litter for their litter box.
Surprise, the first store, no litter box... What the heck, are the humans going to use this for their bare necessities? Finally, against all odds, we stop at our neighborhood Walmart. Thanks God, there are four boxes left. We are buying only one, maybe somebody else has fur friends and needs those boxes.
As we drive through the city I am seeing that there are still people on the streets. I guess we are not hit so hard for now. Only ninety-seven cases in Alberta and six hundred twenty one in the whole country. We even have provinces with zero cases such a Northwest Territories. I guess the global warming kept this province safe from the outbreak. Rumor has it, that Corona will hit Canada badly at the end of April 2020.
Everybody is an expert; some are saying that we need at least seventy percent of the population to get it, so we can produce antibodies for the next year. Now the big question is; would you like to get it, just to check it out of the To Do list?
Corona virus -- checked! Let's move on.
I am not afraid anymore. Today I am ZEN. I have my own list to check out. Here it goes, my precious survivor list. If I have to go, at least I did or witness the following:
1. Was hit by Chernobyl and survived -- ninety percent of the thyroid gone, but this is a small price that I have payed compared with other people
2. Lived in communism, survived that too
3. Watched the Berlin wall falling -- another brick on the wall
4. Witness the great Romanian revolution in 1989
5. Lived when the 9/11 happened
6. Lived when Princess Diana left this world
7. Saw the first black American president
8. Visited before the corona virus; Malta, Tunis, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, France, Holland, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Jamaica and Dominican
9. Still have to visit Costa Rica, India, Philippines, but no desire for China, this country is not on my bucket list
So I lived another day. Thanks God, I am calmer now. My prayers have been heard, so life as usual. S'ils vous plais!
