Coronavirus or Covid-19 March 2020

Social Distancing was the 'new normal' everywhere. Tape on the ground showed where you were to stand in line. 

Our lives have been turned upside down as of late and I thought I might want to look back on some of these times in the future.

This was not written by me.  I got it from Facebook and edited it some but I feel like it sums up a lot of what's happening.
-Gas prices in Roy, Ut. $2.29. Sam's Club at 1.99
-School cancelled until May 1st. No prom. No graduation ceremonies.
-Self-distancing measures on the rise. Also self-isolating.
-Tape on the floors at grocery stores and others to help distance shoppers (6ft) from each other.
-Limited number of people inside stores, therefore, lineups outside the store doors.
-Non-essential stores and businesses mandated closed. Restaurants drive-thru or deliver only. Mail delivery continues.
-Entire sports seasons cancelled.
-Concerts, tours, festivals, theaters, entertainment events - cancelled.
-Weddings, family celebrations, holiday gatherings, FUNERALS - cancelled only 10 allowed at graveside. Drive by groups honking and waving to the celebrating couple or person.
-No worship services. churches are closed. - General Conference not held at conference center.
-No gatherings of 50 or more, then 20 or more, now 10 or more.
-Don't socialize with anyone outside of your home.
-Children's outdoor play parks are closed.
-Shortage of medical masks, gowns, and gloves for our front-line workers.
-Shortage of ventilators for the critically ill.
-Panic buying sets in and we have limited access toilet paper, disinfecting supplies, paper towels, hand sanitizer.
-Shelves are bare. It's hard to find rice, flour and other basics.
-Manufacturers, distilleries and other businesses switch their lines to help make ventilators, gloves, masks, hand sanitizer and other PPE.

-Medical field workers are afraid to go home to their families.

This is the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic, declared March 11th, 2020.
It should be noted that one benefit to all this has been air pollution has decreased dramatically.

People went nutso and bough up all the things from the grocery stores. Supply chains were all sorts of messed up.
