With COVID-19 we are currently practising "social distancing". The prime minister announced yesterday that they are closing the boarders. The streets are pretty quiet since all the federal employees in were told to stay at home if possible. We are supposed to be at Montebello right now but we cancelled those plans. We cancelled everything. We were planning my folk's 50th anniversary, Isaac's birthday parties, date days, seeing Cats at the NAC. It's March break right now, but school is cancelled for at least 2 weeks after. I think that Alberta cancelled the rest of the school year. Daycare and camps are cancelled. Everything is cancelled.
It's all changing so fast too. We're listening to the news on the radio (streaming, we're not that old timey) and I keep on thinking about those horror / disaster movies. It sounds just like that. The borderline unthinkable statements read in a calm way. It makes me very uneasy to make that connection.
We bought online a whole week of work scrubs for Laura just so that she doesn't wear clothes from work inside our home. Next we'll order a portable outdoor shower so we can hose her off before she comes inside. It's going to be awkward this time of year. It's currently freezing rain outside at a temp of -2C.
It's not the end of the world. But it's setup like the backstory of the movies were the world ends.
