Here in Calgary, folks seem be getting a little freaked out. A national gym chain just closed it's doors members and nonmembers alike, the malls are nearly empty, the library closed it's doors today indefinitely, I'm sitting in an empty cafe in the middle of the day and no one is bothering me (actually, that part is kind of nice). I've lived through diseases that should have killed me before my 3rd birthday, I was in China during the SARS epidemic, travelling around within, lived through serious starvation and pneumonia (twice more) in China and now I'm back in Calgary with heart problems and people keep asking why I'm not freaked out. If it's going to come and get me, then here I am, come on! I'm not particularly tough nor stronger than others, but my life is not getting put on hold while I wait for it to come for me. I worry about the people that are losing jobs because of this, the long reaching financial results of this could be catastrophic to many. Me, I'm an old guy on welfare, I get just enough to get by but I have a comfortable bed to sleep in, my computer for entertainment and friends all over this world that I worry more about than myself. Let's just try to get by this, put it behind us. Let's put the conspiracy theories away, take some time to kick back and rest and get ready for the next stage in life, post-COVID-19 and in the meantime, take good care of yourself and your loved ones and let's just stop freaking out. OK?
