Locked Down

My 2020 Life with COVID-19

I can’t believe it’s been 3 months since I last posted.

It’s been really crazy 3 months for sure!

I started out this year with full of goals and plans with very high motivation.

Then I started hearing about this virus, and got me really scared.

I was very worried that all the masks were selling out and being sent to different country and/or people just buying for price gouging for profit.

I was also worried that by the time it hits US, we won’t have any masks for us to use.

I’ve talked about this with my friends and co-workers but most seemed to just think of it as nothing serious than flu virus and that it’s only critical to the elderly people and that they are not worried at all.

It was non sense to even put on a mask, people judge you like you are overacting to this flu like virus.

I felt that people didn’t even want to talk about it, it was sort of like a nonsense to speak up for my opinion at this point.

As time went on, and when this virus finally hit my town, people were in total CHAOS panic mode.

Hoarding toilet papers and sanitize wipes/liquid.

Fighting to get more groceries.

It almost made me feel like if I go to that grocery store now, I will definitely get the virus!

There is absolutely NO mask anywhere to be found… Media kept saying “DO NOT PURCHASE MASK” but where is the mask I can buy???

I couldn’t find any, and if I did, it’s people exploiting this situation and is trying to make money off of this situation!

Moreover, medical facilities are running out!!!

Is this a joke? Really?

My salon is officially closed for the next 2 weeks, my day job already has been closed for the past 2 weeks, and had to cancel all my photography clients as well.

This is really going to impact the whole world’s economy for sure.

My plans, goal, all went up in smoke now…

Really hoping that we can recover soon and be back to normal as soon as possible.

For that, I ask people to please stay home.

Practice social distancing.

And be mindful of others, PLEASE!

I hope next year by this time, I can look back and say we lived through it….

I really really look forward to many many more years of joy and happiness :)

God bless everyone!
