Well Everybody, what can I say?
Another rainy Seattle week has passed and people all over the city are in a panic as the death toll rises from coronavirus. Some dude was yelling at me a couple of days ago to "stay away from old people".
Didn't have the heart to yell back, "I'm 63!".
Store shelves are empty, except for "Lucky Charms", and more schools are closing every week. So I have to logon to the Public Employee Emergency Network every morning to see if my Agency (ESD-121) is open or closed.
I live in the North Seattle highlands. The EvergreenHealth Medical Center where this outbreak started is directly across Lake Washington from my apartment block. I can feel the worry level rise as more people change their daily routines in the face of more reported cases of virus infections.
I can honestly tell you guys that I am not worried. My "inner Faith system" is telling me the worry is needless. Be aware, but don't overreact to news reports. Forgive me if I'm starting to sound like Peter Quill's mom in "The Guardians of the Galaxy", but I'm convinced that this "storm" will pass.
From Ground Zero - Seattle, the word is, "Don't Panic!".
