CAPTAIN'S LOG: STAR DATE 4.9.2020

DAY 28.

Well no one has turned into flesh eating zombies yet... The tension is still rising...

As of Monday, we will need to wear masks in public.

People are dying in my county,cases well into the 500's and New York Cities death tolls are so high they are going to be doing temporary internment in parks until we can sort out the funeral details. NEW YORK IS NOT OK!

I am working still, but at what cost and for how long? I am working from home. Big deal.. first world problems. Many of my beloved friends are "essential" workers. Nurses, Police officers, grocery clerks, chefs and municipal workers. I worry for them, the ignorance of other people affecting their daily life.

Mental Health fluctuates day by day. You could be having a great day, two seconds later... the world is failing apart. Routine has been working for me, sort of. My sleep schedule is fucked.

I stopped watching the news everyday. Nothing new is going on other than more people are getting sick and dying. Famous people are getting it, Prime Ministers, musicians... everyone is at risk.

 The eerie part of it is, you go outside, normal Western New York spring day, you go for a neighborhood walk and if you come into the path of another walker, they will full on cross the street to pass by you. There are so many birds and squirrels out now. Animals are out, I have seen three hawks in the sky at one time.  Pollution is down, L.A. has no smog right now. 

I think that this is really going to change our lives forever, things were supposed to be improving by now.... that is clearly not the case... we will see now won't we.
