Coronavirus-Covid-19-Quarantine

We started hearing about the coronavirus....
It started in Wuhan, China in a market.
*Then, other countries started to see cases
(It got really bad in Italy)
*End of Feb the US had its first fatality
*March 13 President
Trump declared a national emergency.
*March 13th school was cancelled and set for
home "online learning" for the week of
March 16th-20....then is was extended until
after spring break....
*The Number of cases continued to rise
New York was hit hard.
There was a shortage of
masks, other PPE, and
ventilators.  Hospitals were
running out of rooms/space.
*April 1st...they officially said that we won't be
going back to school this school year....
we will continue online learning at home.
*Unemployment rates on the rise
*Stores are (most of the time) sold
out of toilet paper, paper towels,
hand sanitizer, and Lysol wipes.
*Patients in the hospital can't have visitors,
Parents can't visit newborns in the NICU,
Nursing home residents can't have visitors.
.....In the midst of all the heartache and
struggle around the world people
are seeing some silver linings...
we are getting the privilege of discovering
the gift of TIME...
quality TIME and
TIME to do all the things
we never have TIME to do

*Walk to the nature trail in our neighborhood
(at first we got to play with our neighbor
Sam...but then neighbors had to stop
playing with neighbors!)
