Your stories are so good to read even though they are about coronavirus, a deadly killer if not stopped. I find that our county we live in is good; so far so good. I hope it stays that way. Prayers.

An interesting perspective. I love your names for everyone. What class do I fit in, I wonder, locked down for my own protection? Thanks for bringing a sense of humor to this craziness.

I get your angst about the evil covid-19. You did a good job with this day's entry. I like the way you used bold type for emphasis. Your explanations for each are not far from the truth. Your image choice is great--soo sinister looking. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully, Jan

👍 Anytime, my lady!

This is very well written, Iza. The 24-hour media coverage doesn't help and fuels the fire as newscasters do their best to sensationalize. I think you've covered the aspects well. Marilyn

Thank You so much, please try to keep the head above the panic, I know is not easy, but we must keep the faith.
Comment from lyenochka
Enjoyed your humor and I hope you will stay sane and healthy despite the craziness there. It's the same here.
Please let me know if you want me to ignore your typos and misspellings. It adds extra time to point them out but if you don't care, then I won't take the time. Most of these will be caught if you type in another program (like Word, or GoogleDocs) first.
Comments:
"and fakers; panicers, alarmists " (panickers) to keep the 'k' sound as 'ce' becomes an 's' sound. Neither is a real word.
"that took this literary, go home and dissapear." (literally - not literary) and (disappear)
" for the fake Samaritean!" (Samaritan)

If you have time, I do appreciate the grammar section:), but if you don't have time, that is fine too. I am grateful for taking the time to read my rant against this ugly virus.
Comment from patcelaw
Itis so sad that in a time like this with the virus that people are trying to take advantage of their fellowman. I hope that many will decide to follow the rules. I know that in the short run things can be painful, but we need to do right so society can get back on a normal footing.

Comment from royowen
Somehow I doubt that climate change has anything to do with the covid-19, and the good thing about is Beijing's pollution has gone back to practically nil. Well done, you're right Canada's not the only one, it really is pandemic, it's about mankind, well done, blessings Roy
Typo : She brought (as) lots of love...us? 2: it's ( scarry) scary? Alaerdy dead. Already?

Comment from estory
You have a great sarcastic tone in this and in some ways it speaks for the frustrations of all of us. It really seems there is no way out of the abyss, no matter what the powers that be seem to try. Italy has been on locked down for two weeks and it seems to have no effect. We have our eye out suspiciously for everyone who comes along. Even that guy with the birthday present for his mom. "Thanks buddy, come again!" loved the sarcastic tone there. Hey we have to keep our sense of humor or we'll never get through it. And Keep the faith. estory

hello
I live in Europe. It is dire hee. Please just stay home. Wash your hands.
Here where it is flooding through, learn from us.
Yes, there are all sorts of crap people...and lots of it is just ignorance, no one wants to harm any one.
You don't know you have it, don't know you are carrying it,
and people don't really know how to isolate, we are so used to being in touch...
any way your peice was thought provoking..
but, as i sit hee with my nearest city on semi lock down I can only hope that my homeland;Canada, is wiser than Europe.

I am so sad to break your hope, but we are still in denial and we think that is not real.

I?m not in denial. It?s worse here than the news says...
But... it?s not hope to practice hygiene or self isolation.
We must slow the fast rate of this so the hospitals aren?t swamped.
70 percent of us will still be infected... but slowe rather than fast.... it?s about beds and time to find either a vaccine or a way to deal with it.
We?re hooped... but we can still act responsibly...and be compassionate and supportive.
