I’m scared of COVID-19. I don’t want to get it, and I don’t want any of my loved ones getting it either. Nor do I want you or your loved ones to get it. Too many people are already grieving for those who have died from it, while others are coping with its long-term effects.
At the beginning of the pandemic, one of our kids had just moved to Australia for a year and signed a lease on an apartment and lined up a job at a hotel. So much for that. When the prime minister summoned Canadians home last March, we told the (adult) kid he could quarantine at our home in Vancouver while we went to our place in the Gulf Islands. We stocked the fridge and freezer for him and boarded a ferry just as his plane was landing in Richmond.
