Staying at Home

Before the COVID-19 Pandemic, I spent a lot of time at home except for doctor's appointments but I knew that if I needed or wanted to go somewhere I could.  I knew that if I wanted to visit the Mall, any restaurant, Walmart, movie theaters, parks, or gyms I could.  My wife and I usually went out to dinner once a week, got movie tickets once a month, and went on vacation 5-6 times a years either on a cruise, staying in a condo at Myrtle Beach, Gulf Coast, or used our frequent flyer points for a trip to the other side of the country like Las Vegas, Los Angeles, or Vancouver...

And, while is basically the same issues that most everybody else in America is facing, my condition is a TAD different because of the following:
  1. I am 73 years old
  2. Have had a heart attack
  3. Have low to none immunity
  4. Have Anemia
  5. Have Lymphoma
  6. Have Melanoma
  7. Have Hypothyroidism

I am more at RISK than most other Americans because of my illnesses and previous health conditions; therefore, I am forced to stay at home more than others and because of that restriction, my home confinement seems to be, at least to me, that it might be more emotional than other people.  There is just so much one can do at home, even if one has hobbies, likes to clean, likes to work outside in the yard, likes to watch 10 year old movies on CABLE

Vacationing Soon in Myrtle Beach, SC

My wife and I have rented a CONDO at MYRTLE BEACH, SC for a week at the end of June and
while we both know that by the end of June most every State will have returned to work and our economy will be chugging along trying to get back to where it was before the Pandemic.  And, with that return to work, Americans (at least theoretically) should be relatively safe and no longer wearing face masks when outside.

HOWEVER:

  • What about us OLD and OLDER people?
  • Should we all of a sudden feel safe?
  • Should we stop wearing face masks?
  • What about OLDER PEOPLE who are being treated for CANCER?
  • Should we feel safe?


As far as the Myrtle Beach Condo is concerned:

  • How do we know how well the maid service cleaned the room?
  • Did she clean our room at the beginning of her
    shift or at the end?
  • Did she clean our room on a Monday or a Friday?



When, if ever, do people like us ever feel safe after experiencing this PANDEMIC?

BEGINNING TODAY
