Hello everyone from sunny Orlando Florida! Or at least I think it’s sunny. The last time I checked it was sunny! Working in the healthcare field right now is very hectic, 14-15 hour days with more to come.
We are in the middle of Quarantine Time here in Central Florida. COVID 19 is here and has no plans of leaving. Travel plans included: Walt Disney World…..closed; Universal Studios……closed; Legoland….closed. Then it decided ‘Hey, I’ll take a cruise”…..no can do! Maybe eat at some of the nicer restaurants in the tourist area….NOPE, closed until you leave COVID 19!!
This has hit many people hard, especially the service industry, in which Orlando is mostly employed. Small business, family run restaurants and nightclubs/bars have had to send people home and unable to tell them when they are going to return to work. Churches are cancelling services in the most Holy of days, Lent and Easter.
We have to stay 6 feet apart from each other and the grocery store shelves are empty of toilet paper and cleaning supplies. Everyone wants this to go away, but so many people do not want to do their part in helping to flatten the curve. So many are at risk to include infants, elderly, pregnant women and the immunocompromised.
There are people that want to be tested for the Coronavirus, but only so they can return to their ‘normal’ day-to-day lives. One such lady said she couldn’t self isolate because she had to go to the grocery store! The very place where we don’t want germs.
I just wanted to take a minute to let you all know that I hope you are taking time away from the news, away from each other, and away from the chaos that comes with this quarantine we are in. Take care of yourself, wash your hands (soap and water is just fine) and don’t touch your face.
Make sure to pay attention to the companies that take care of their employees at this most tender time. These are the companies that you want to frequent after the crisis is over. Some of these companies include: Darden Restaurants, PepsiCo, Walmart, Amazon, Apple, McDonalds, Disney, Universal Studios and Delta. These are a few of the companies that are putting their money where their mouths are! WAY TO GO!!
Love to you all!! Be well and talk again soon!!
