robotech_masterWell, keeping up the commitment to write in this journal every day. Don't know whether I really have anything more to say, but I don't want to let this just peter out again.
I posted another TeleRead article, looking at some free things you can do at home to stave off Corona-induced boredom. When you think about it, it's really kind of amazing just how much stuff is online, free, to keep us entertained or educated. This is the first pandemic to come along in the modern Internet age, and it feels like it's going to teach us some new things about ourselves. Despite being stuck at home, we can still bring the world to ourselves, and send ourselves to the world, in spirit if not in physical presence.
Haven't heard anything new about the Corona situation at work, though the office complex is set to open again next week—one building on Monday, the other on Tuesday. It's been a busy couple of days on the phone, with fewer hands around to divide up the calls. Hopefully it'll slack off a little once the office workers are able to take part again.
But I'm finding myself starting to wonder just what work is going to be like once the Corona infections begin to overwhelm the healthcare system, in perhaps as little as a couple more weeks if more places don't start cracking down hard. In some respects, there'll be less work, as elective surgeries will go by the wayside—but how many ER admissions are there going to be? For all of that, though, and as backward as the American healthcare system is in a lot of ways, I'm nonetheless playing an important part in the process—and that's something to be proud of.
It's too bad we don't have any good leadership in the White House right now. I hope that the slipshod way in which Trump is dealing with this crisis will be the last straw that moves the American people to vote him out. But who knows what's really going to happen?
