Groundhog Day

I feel like I'm in the movie Groundhog Day!  I can't tell one day from the next.  They are all the same.  The only time we leave the house is to go to Mike's or Ron does a grocery pickup at Walmart.  My girls come by once in awhile and we sit in the backyard a safe distance from one another.  This is life in quarantine.

Oklahoma has begun reopening businesses but for the life of me it appears that people are acting as though the dang virus doesn't exist.  Many of them refuse to wear masks and for what reason completely baffles me.  Our mayor has held firm until just this week when the states attorney general chimed in and said churches can reopen.  Fortunately our church doesn't feel it is safe and will continue with online services.   The mayor was trying to do a slow reopen but everyone from beauty parlors to churches got in an uproar forcing her to go ahead and reopen just about everything.

Now that we have managed to politicize the virus we also managed to create a bigger battleground.  No one knows what to believe or who to listen to for information.  I know who I don't listen to but the experts keep getting pushed aside and are not saying as much now.  My plan is to continue social distancing and remaining at home as much as humanly possible.  That is until we have a vaccine or a very effective treatment.
