Yup, the scientists are definitely working on a way to prevent the virus from happening again and again. I like the idea of being called an essential worker ( love the medical field) because we try to prevent the spread of this terrible disease.

I find it flagrant that the essential workers are virtually all extremely badly paid ones. Where are all the well-paid people? Using their millions of dollars to hide away especially securely in safety, perhaps.

Hi! Hope Y'all are doing okay. It's not easy, is it. But we're gardening, schooling, crafting and driving each other crazy! lol
kids wants >>Kids want()>> not s
outside the Marvellous and Disney >>Marvel
is actually working there right now?>>This isn't a question. Weird, huh. It is a command. "Look..." If you divided it into two sentences, it could be a quesiotn that went something like, "Look. Who is working right now?" But as is, it's a statement, requiring a period. :)
convenient stories, ??Oops! 'convenient stor()es, You put an 'i' in there.
'
Coronella wasn't present, probably most of those kids will not ??Mixed tenses. Change 'will' to 'would''
who become essential??who bec(a)me essential
supp(lies to) stay safe at home
estaurant are closed, ??estaurant(s) are closed,
They have not sign(ed) up for this
The ones that we are currently in our homes??leave out the 'we'
Be prepared, Coronella, we are coming to get you!>>Love this line! Go, girl!
Most of my kids are out of work right now. Only my son-in-law is still working, and he's a Physician Asistant, which (here in the US) is a medical professional who is overseen by a physician, although many of them work completely independently of an on-site doc. It's tough. But you're putting a smile on my face when I read your entries, so keep 'em coming!

Thanks for the shout out to us grocery store workers. But actually there aren't too many kids here; most of us are 40 or over. I'm 58. Your upbeat post captures that spirit of human determination, that will to survive and succeed. It's nice to hear about instances of people going out of their way to support each other in these hard times. estory

We should be thankful and grateful to all who continue to work for the good of mankind. We need to pray for their safety too. Without them life would be much harder,

Good thoughts, Iza! I wish this would change our value system and pay our "essential workers" more and our sports superstars and entertainers less.
