The novel coronavirus is no longer a threat, it has taken root in our city thanks to our CE’s stubbornness in not closing the Mainland borders. A tenth of our city’s medical staff went on strike but that didn’t perturb our arrogant CE’s decision.
Facing the incoming virus from Mainland, our first line of protection is surgical masks, but our stupid government had no way of securing its people with a steady supply (and yet continuously allowing the virus to flow freely across the border). A company near my studio found a way to secure thousands of masks for sale, the news got out and a lineup started the night before and grew long enough to wrap around the industrial district! I only saw photos of the craziness as I had been working from home to save on masks. I did go back to the studio yesterday and heard a few people on my floor talked about the crazy lineup day, and we all connected in blaming our hopeless government for it.
Did some strategic planning while working from home. Saw an unexpected art opportunity opening that I couldn’t stop thinking about. Talked to my family about it and they seemed supportive even though we all know it’s nearly impossible to make a living with art. Need to think more seriously about this next week before drafting a proposal to be submitted end of month.
Oh Lord, please be merciful to our city and help us through this nCov epidemic. In these less hectic days, help me plan and guide my steps in preparations for a foreseeable economic downturn. ??
