The Four Words To Describe the Coronavirus Pandemic.
1. Really 2. Really 3. Really 4. Bad.

- I wish the views on my blogs were spreading as fast as this virus.
- I managed to write two stories on Vocal.media while being on a phone call hold with the bank.
- I lost my job.
- My husband and I were supposed to go on our first abroad trip together. (insert sad face here)
This sucks, but I still vacation at home.
After WW1, Canada learned some major lessons and made a difference. For example, African American and Aboriginal people were allowed to join the army. The Civil rights became stronger and better.
After this virus crisis, the government should be obligated more than ever to improve the healthcare system. Last week, my dog got hit by a car. His leg required immediate surgery. He received urgent medical care. Right before this virus started, my 11 year old sister broke her arm. She waited in the ER for five hours just to see a doctor. Poor medical care for PEOPLE in Canada is a fact that most Canadians are well aware of. One can imagine what is currently happening in the healthcare system during this pandemic. I am mentioning mainly Canada, because that is where I have first hand experience. I know for a fact that my country, and many others are not prepared for the outbreak.
My dog’s name is Max. He is a 10 month old puppy. Having fun and socializing with other dogs and people is a significant factor in his life. Unfortunately, he can’t do any of that for the next two months. For a few weeks Max is going to have to wear a cone and be medicated that he does not hurt his leg from licking it and running around. Regardless of how Max feels, all these restrictions are put in place that his situation doesn’t worsen. Our situation is similar to Max’s.
Public gatherings are feeding grounds for the Coronavirus. Despite new laws and restrictions invoked by the government. People are still unnecessarily going out into the war zones. History repeats itself. Mainly in WW1, teen boys would voluntarily enlist for the wrong reasons. These young men were either careless, “brave,” or simply poorly educated on the dangers. There are large groups of people who are making the job of our soldiers even more difficult than it already is. The soldiers that I am talking about are police officers, firefighters, paramedics, doctors, nurses, hospital staff and researchers.
My husband and brother are currently working in the front lines against this virus. For protection, my husband has isolated himself from me and family. I don’t know when I will be able to hug and kiss him again. All that I can do is stay home and let my soldier go.
We all have a job to do. All storms come to an end. For now, we need to let the storm fighters fight the storm as we wait it out in our homes.
What can you do while you are home?
Stay busy! Binge Netflix, scroll through the internet, make a mug cake and Face-time with friends and family. Be creative!
I started a series of my life here at Vocal.media, do the same!
