This virus is deadly and we all want to be safe, but I just want to say UNCLE! I am still just going to work, home, repeat. I am just doing what you all are doing to stay safe. There are people who have made all sorts of jokes about this virus. Like its interfering with taco Tuesday and corona is stopping it.(that not the whole joke) but you get the point.

People are ,rightfully so, wearing masks, gloves and whatever they can do distance wise they are doing.

I see people in Italy singing off balconies, people writing large notes and talking to neighbors this way, I see other people sewing masks that people so desperately want and need.
