I won't lie... When this all started I thought it was blown out of proportion and these closures were ridiculous. Now, while I still think some things have happened in the wrong order (close schools but none of the entertainment venues where families will flock...) I'm prepared for the total closure of everything.
It's been really odd... Almost as if everyone has lost their minds. Grown adults buying baby formula to drink because "it doesn't go bad like milk"... Nevermind there's such a thing as powdered milk... Shelves emptied of eggs and toilet paper but lots of bagels and bread still available.
I give this 8 to 10 weeks before things start to go back to normal... Before schools and businesses open back up, before nursing homes allow visitors to freely enter again. Until then, my family is prepared to be home as much as we can (except for work and groceries ever 1 to 2 weeks) and maybe accomplish something we've been putting off here.
I'm a little scared... I am due with twins in July and no one knows how this virus affects pregnant women. But I refuse to let myself be scared the whole time. I'm going to find something positive every day and we will be okay.
