Crazy time in the world right now. The Corona virus that started in China reached New Brunswick two weeks ago. Today ends our first full week of being home from the program and our usual lives. All businesses have closed with the exception of grocery stores, pharmacies, liquor and pot stores. All restaurant dining rooms are closed, take out only. Phrases like social distancing and leveling the curve are all over the news and social media.
Anyone returning from travel are expected to self isolate in their homes, however not everyone has been heeding these directions which I find disturbing. Some people continue to be self involved and thoughtless while the majority follow protocols and reach out to help others.
Everyone has been asked to stay home other than to get food and other necessities. Stores have a limit on the number of customers allowed in stores to ensure social distances of 6 feet.
It is a scary time but as of today I believe there are only a handful of confirmed cases in New Brunswick and none in St George that we are aware of.
Here's hoping people heed the warnings, stay inside and isolated for as long as it takes for this to pass. When it's over we are sure to be living in a different world than before, just not sure whether it will be for the better or worst.
