Island of Isolation
Last year, near the beginning of the current pandemic brouhaha, I wrote this piece to help people I know deal with the change. I felt I was in a unique place to offer such advice because my family and I have some experience in this area, and had at the time already withdrawn on our own for about six weeks. I will add commentary in italics based on the experiences of the last year. I was fortunate and got to shelter with most of my family, in a place where we could enjoy it. This was not entirely by accident. Onward!
