Laurie and I are in our tenth day of submitting to the quarantine and so far we're doing pretty well. The mutts are happy, anyway.
But you have to wonder what this moment is like for many people. We have a friendly acquaintance a few houses up who is a sixty-eight-year-old woman who lives alone with her friendly mutt. She's a very gregarious person and has many friends in the neighborhood, but now she cannot visit them. We have told her that we would be happy to do a little grocery shopping for her when we go out, but I cannot imagine what it must be like to be all alone in that house.
Or, what if you are a single young person scraping by in a one-bedroom apartment and a job as wait-staff? The government forces your employer to close operations and subsequently you get fired. So, you have virtually no money, no job, but you need to make rent, pay utilities and, ya know, eat. Or, worse yet, say you also have a couple of young children to feed. How long can a person live like this?
Or, say, you are married with four children and three dogs and all nine of you are trapped together in the house for three weeks? Under those circumstances, the question might be, "who will come out alive?"
In any case, let's hope this blows over before the economy tanks entirely.

Heya man, we have not seen you around in a bit. How are things in quarantine?
DeleteAs a 78yo old loner, my life has not changed all that much.
DeleteAs an internet addict, I find it harder than ever to tear myself away.
I read this site faithfully, but I can't usually think of anything useful to add. You and your regulars are right on top of the ME.
What concerns me more than Israel at this point is the utter decay of our political and philosophical mechanisms here in the USA. The best we seem able to muster as leadership is a trio of senile old bozos. Sad!
Well, Randall, we're hanging in there. To be honest, I am fairly amazed that the regulars are still around and I am grateful that they are. This little blog is over ten years old and although we are a small group, we seem to be tenacious. And watch out for Doodad and Jeff. They will kick your ass in a New York Minute! :O)
DeleteHere's hoping Hamas and other bomb makers will stay safe and work from home..heh, if you get my drift.
ReplyDeleteThe worst part of the quarantine is that asshole talk show hosts and "journalists," can still yak yak at us from HOME, thanks to technology. Meanwhile good people are losing their incomes while these parasites thrive.
ReplyDeleteWell, one of the worst parts. Not THE worst part, of course.
DeleteOh boy, You got that right!
