Cold Corona
Nunavut, the largest territory in Canada, is currently COVID-19 free. Yet, it has followed the rest of Canada's pandemic protocols and has gone into shutdown mode. Although there are no confirmed cases of the spreading-like-fire virus, it remains one of the most at risk places. Why? Because Nunavut is an at-risk territory on a normal day.

Loneliness within Quarantine
Ever since this quarantine came into effect it feels like we've been stuck in a dystopian nightmare that is stuck on replay, and if you have ever read The Giver, you know that when things get worse they continue to get worse before they inevitably get better. It kind of feels like we are in the beginning of the end with limited to no knowledge of when we will see "better".

DAY 3: COVID-19 BY MY LONESOME
DAY 3 Much better day today! Yay! Ironically, it's raining and gloomy outside. In fact, it was quite a productive day. After polishing off the leftover pizza for breakfast, I was fast at it on my computer getting things done. Our team even enjoyed a Teams butt-dial from our boss. While we all chatted, a coworker messaged him to apologize for not picking up the group call. To which he said, "didn't know I made the call!" It was nice to hear everyone's voices.

My Days Thanks to COVID-19
So as we all know, COVID-19 is sweeping the globe right now. It's affected a lot of people, doesn't seem to show any sign of stopping, and it seems unknown as to when it'll be a normal time for humanity again. But what does this have to do with me? Well my life, just like everyone else's, has been affected by this pandemic. But all the information about everything is so mixed up. Areas that are on lockdown, how many people you can and can't be around, and tons of other information. It's enough to drive you crazy. Ya know what I mean? It's not hard to believe that the whole world is thrown out of whack by a disease that's likely been around for a long time now, but is just coming out now. I mean there have been other major diseases that have come out that weren't as bad as COVID-19 but still kinda serious enough to be bad should you contract it. But this is the worst it's been. And humanity's behavior to go with it hasn't gotten any better. Still a ton of hate crime, racial blame, etc. This isn't a time to be monsters to each other. This is a time we should come together...even though we're being told to self-quarantine and maintain social distancing too. But there are problems even in that.

Musings on Coronavirus
One thing I find interesting about living through the Corona virus pandemic, and subsequent self-quarantine, is the way in which we find ways to communicate otherwise. With our modern technology we do a brilliant job of just getting on with most of our lives from sitting at home. Admittedly, I already miss going outside and meeting up with my friends in our flesh sacks, but the virtual alternative of group Skype calls isn’t something to sniff at.

The Global Impact Of Coronavirus
The global impact of Coronavirus is just so horrifying and absolutely unbelievable. But believe it one must, what with all the horrible things that are happening all over the world – and all because of this killer virus! Who would believe that a thing unseen, can now threaten to obliterate the entire world – down to the very last few thousand or hundred people perhaps? Time only will tell, as to how many of the mighty human race, will survive the killer Coronavirus!

Covid-19
In 1918, the Spanish flu spread like crazy and a lot of people died. In Philadelphia, there was a huge parade scheduled, and the Mayor refused to cancel the parade in spite of the warnings. The parade went on, and about a week later 13,000 people died from the Spanish flu.

DAY 1 AND 2: COVID-19 BY MY LONESOME
DAY 1 It’s only the first day of working from home, hunkering down, and I’m already worried about my mental health! I will admit it was nice to have that extra sleep time due to not having to drive to work or even shower! Knowing I might get too sucked into living life in a fluffy robe, I did make it a point to at least throw on some camo sweats with a mismatched fleece pullover. I didn’t even care if they made me look fat! I was excited to test out my new home office, aka my dining room table complete with two monitors, a docking station, and keyboard, and have the luxury of being around my creature comforts.

My Experience in Italy and France Before COVID-19
Before I get started I just wanted to let anyone know that if you’re in need of supplies, a lot of people have been volunteering to help. A lot of individuals have been sacrificing their time to deliver food and necessities through your door. Check if any local stores are offering help, and if you need it don’t hesitate to ask.
