Our sweet baby loves sweet potatoes! Can you tell? He's learning all kinds of new tastes--even lemon, which he clearly does not like. I'm very proud that his mom and dad are sheltering him and keeping him safe from this dreadful virus. I pray that soon I will get to see him and hug and kiss him.
Our state has just been given the green light to begin opening some businesses: hair salons, barber shops, spas for massage therapy and restaurants. I fail to see the logic in beginning with these businesses since it's really not possible to cut or color someone's hair, or give a massage without touching a person. The people who do these jobs may not be able to acquire the PPE equipment they need to protect themselves so they are much more endangered. How the decision was made to allow this is a complete mystery to me. What comes to mind is: "The chain is only as strong as the weakest link". That weak link may be the next person who walks through the door, coughing, and wants a hair cut or a massage.
And on Monday, restaurants will be able to invite customers inside to sit down and be served their meals. Unless the facility is quite large, how can they maintain social distancing, which they are supposed to do? And how do the managers decide when to say "no more" allowed inside at this time? Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me, especially if potential customers have had a few drinks.
I understand the concern for our economy, and that people need to be able to feed their families. But if they contract this virus, they'll be SICK, maybe hospitalized, and they STILL won't be able to feed their families.
After all these things I have lamented, there is one thing I would beg everyone to remember. Something we can and should please make part of our routine to protect ourselves from being infected by this virus:
