Did you get your FICTIONARY full of words about the coronavirus? We are suppose to social distance, wash hands, and wear a mask. I think it has helped in many cases but it is spreading like wild fire. Stay safe/stay well.

This is great, Iza. I loved reading it. Also, I would love to see you write your 'factionary.' What a laugh I'm sure it would be. You have a great sense of humor. The social distancing segment was super.

Thanks for sharing.

This was a very fun, vivid story, with a lot of interesting references and small writer's finds. Excellent descriptive imagery and flow, thank you for your author notes, I found the language impeccable, it's hard to tell it is your third language. A very sophisticated writing. Enjoyed your artistic presentation too.

These are all just new constructs to help us 'accept' this new 'reality' they would have us believe should now exist.... if you question it, you are a 'deny-er'.... :) ;) ;) Great offering, Iza -- you keep on questioning, my lady! ;) Yvette

Whatever the terms, I refuse to be corralled by a virus, I'm much bigger than a billion viruses I think, (not that I'm particularly au fait with the size of a virus. Heh heh, beautifully written Iza, excellent poem, blessings, Roy

Told with your usual sarcastic wit and style. The whole idea of social distancing is so antethical to our human needs that it is hard to fathom, sometimes. We need human contact. Even if it is just face to face. And two rooms are impossible to stay caged up in. No wonder so many people are cashing out of condos and co-ops and buying those little houses with white picket fences in the suburbs. estory

Okay, your tale is still panning out well. What do you think of this? We were supposed to come out of lockdown gradually at the end of July, to go back to work in the office, knowing that lots of people would go on summer holiday in August. For our team it all seemed surreal, as we only need computer, internet and phone, which we all have at home. Then suddenly bam! Everything was moved forward a month - not clear why. Public transport is a nightmare, someone has removed distancing and mask signs, so all has reverted to pushing and shoving, coughing over each other, spitting on the ground and squeezing together tight - I think I will be catching it soon. Our high productivity of work has done a nose dive, as we are so tired and stressed by the time we arrive at work, whereas in lockdown we felt secure and safe. It all goes totally against what you wrote, no? or am I stupid?

Some funny lines that would make for a good stand-up comedian. My favorite giggles:
Way to go China, now this province is finally on the map.
this sounds like prison one-on-one;
How the heck you are to be social and keep the distance in the same time?

This COVID-19 has been a rare even for sure, everyday the things explained change. No people almost want to rebel and go everywhere they shouldn't and many think it's political. I know one thing for sure, it's annoying! I pray for the safety of everyone affected.

It is interesting to see how no matter what part of the world we are, we are all doing pretty much the same thing and have the some concerns and reactions.
notes:
I wonder if they order on-line {a} do a drive through the plantation?
- should this be: and/or
