We've all been affected by the current CoronaVirus: Covid 19 pandemic. We are told to wash our hands, not touch our faces, cover our coughs and sneezes. We use lots of hand sanitizer. Another one of the recommended strategies for fighting this fast-moving, easily spread, and often deadly disease is called Social Distancing, where we try to stay at least 6 feet from each other. Many wear gloves and masks. Today, we were told we should stay home in order to stop the spread of this virus. We aren't supposed to partake in gatherings of more than 10 people. This affects church services, weddings, parties, etc.
Non-essential businesses have closed, as well as schools. This is a strange time, and I pray that God will deliver us from it. We humans have much to learn. However, this pandemic has brought out the good in some people.
I visit my Mom to check in on her. One of the things I miss most is that until this virus clears up, I cannot
hug her. Neither I nor my siblings. We can't take the chance of making Mom ill, or making each other ill. Social distancing, you see. My family is big on hugs and warm greetings when we see each other, and I miss that.
Be safe, everyone.
