The Tooth Fairy Is Not Cancelled
Being a nurse at a local hospital in Belleville, Ontario, Tania’s anxiety rose with the curve of the pandemic. This single mother, primary caregiver for her two girls ages twelve and fifteen, didn’t want to take any chances of exposing her family to COVID-19. Her oldest had severe asthma and her parents, who lived in a nanny suite in her home, were in a higher risk category as well.

Coronavirus is Teaching Some Hard, Undeniable Lessons
COVID-19 has screwed up the world, shutting things down and quite literally creating social distance between people. To many of us, it seems like a very dangerous time, as authorities could very easily overstep their bounds. At the same time, there is definitely validity to many measures being taken to help the spread of this potentially deadly virus. This leaves us at sort of a crossroads. How do we know when authorities have taken a step too far, and how do we know when the virus is over?

The COVID 19 Diary (Cotd)
The first COVID 19 Diary published abut two weeks ago in late March 2020. In that diary I started a countdown. “Minus Day 4, Minus Day 3, Minus Day 2 and Minus Day 1”. The last ‘minus’ being 22nd March making 23rd March “Day 0” of lock down

Working through Covid19
We are all told to stay at home. Not to go out unless it's for the bare essentials or daily exercise. I can't stay at home because I'm a healthcare worker. I work in a local care home. Before this pandemic, I had plans to travel around the world to as many countries as possible, attend writing clubs, get drunk with friends, go to concerts, nights out and conventions. You know, anything a typical young person would do. I'm one of the lucky ones really, but things can change. The minute you're down with a cold, people are quick to assume you've got it.

To Greedy Billionaires Who "Warned" Us About the Current Plague
Billionaires have a constant, and steady source of income because they started businesses, while actually being the owners of their net worth. I want to become one of them because I'm eager to prove my family wrong, both the liars as well as the believers of those lies. But anyway, this isn't about them since I do not have THEM on the OCD brain right now. What I have on my mind is how billionaires like Bill Gates have proposed that the world is not ready to deal with a pandemic. The link below is all about Bill Gates saying we aren't prepared for a larger epidemic. The video is dated March 19th, 2020.

Trapped in quarantine
It was a normal Thursday afternoon and I just woke up from that seem to be a eight hour shift from an overnight job I was doing in food service. I was energetic and ready to take on the rest of the day. Looking forward to going to the store, I got up washed my face, put on my socks, pants and a T-shirt along with a long sleeve thermal Top. It was a sunny beautiful day in western Pennsylvania.

How are we doing? The short answer is we're okay.
My friends ask me how I’m doing. The short answer is always - we’re okay. But the real answer is much longer. I feel a lot of anxiety these days. It’s always there, sometimes with more intensity than others. But a constant, ever present, lurking beneath our routine.

Desperate for Control in a Nightmare World
It all feels so out of control. And, this lack of control feels different because there’s no real way to stop it at the moment. It’s like we’re all in a massive group project where the majority of the group is doing what they’re assigned, but the ones that aren’t are causing previously unimaginable problems and threatening to derail the entire project. I knew there was a reason I hated group projects!

Don't go Viral.
When all else fails, we, as humans tend to take matters into our own hands or point our finger at anyone that "should have done or shouldn't have done" something to prevent the catastrophe. In this case, our current pandemic, people from all walks of life are affected by a singular disease that ravages the respiratory system in a unique manner, leaving those with preexisting conditions i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, breathing difficulties, or simply being over the age of sixty years old to fall to the novel corona virus. At least that is what they told you in the beginning, however with new evidence that it effects humans of all ages, making it far more potent a disease than previously thought.
