March 4 was the last day I was "out there."
It has been 2 months & 10 days of self isolation, totally alone. The only things I miss are laying out on the beach, hugs & kisses, & steak served to me in a restaurant. Other than that, I am fine. /1
It has been 2 months & 10 days of self isolation, totally alone. The only things I miss are laying out on the beach, hugs & kisses, & steak served to me in a restaurant. Other than that, I am fine. /1
The folks I worry about are the people who don& #39;t have the luxury to self-isolate & are out there on the frontlines among people who are not mindful that they may be vectors of infection. /2
The truth is that I AM an extrovert. I like people. Although I work from home alone and I have for years, I was on a plane every 2 weeks. A lot of flight crews know me. And I went out on weekends (a lot of bartenders & waiters know me) --- because I enjoy human interaction. /3
Being alone for more than 2 -- onto 3 -- months, TOTALLY alone (I don& #39;t even go out for groceries; I have them delivered) has been a test. And I am okay. /4
I think I am okay because I keep thinking about the fact that it isn& #39;t about me. It is about not adding to the strain of the system. It is about not making the job of doctors like my sister and brother in law harder. /5
It seems like the very LEAST I can do is to be alone, at home, and mindful of how hard so many people in essential services are working to take care of the rest of us. /6
It is why I am horrified by the folks who act like they& #39;re sacrificing a spleen just so stay the fuck at home or wear a mask when they MUST go out. The folks who making the real sacrifices are the frontline essential workers. /7
And every Free-Dumb asshole congregating en masse during a pandemic is not REALLY helping the economy. He or she is just ensuring that essential workers are less safe as they do their difficult jobs during unprecedented pandemic conditions. /8
The greatest generation was asked to fight Nazis. We& #39;re just being asked to stay on the couch. Good Lord, people. Think about someone else other than yourself. Be mindful. Be careful. Be judicious. Stay home & save lives. / end
