And One Day

Judy Jenkins

Busyness

Transcending every sphere of society

Blocking quiet and self-reflection

Making lists only to check the box

An unexamined life emerges

“I’ve been so busy”

Words used to greet friends

Followed by a litany of all that gets packed into hectic schedules

Project to project

Appointment to appointment

Scurrying from one seemingly important commitment to another

And one day

Schools turn virtual

Offices go remote

Restaurants offer curb-side service

Busyness subsides ~ solitude, a friend from long ago, returns

The virus circulates

Masks become the new fashion accessory

Social distancing replaces handshakes and hugs

And one day

An unexamined life emerges

感染新冠时正值疫情高峰,死了很多人。医院如临大敌,马上将我送进Quarantine Ward的私人病房,隔离了两个星期。其实我没有什么症状,只是发烧/流鼻水而已,也没有咳嗽。私人病房加24-hour care每天费用约$500左右,政府100%买单,我分文不出。病房不错,还有沙发,办公桌。隔壁房的老人家咳了两天就去世了。

隔离的头两天禁食,就靠吊点滴,趁机减肥。

第三天开始进食,米浆加酸汤。不知道给我筷子做什么。。。

后来伙食逐日改善,但两星期下来瘦了5公斤。

这记录以后会成为有意义的回忆。2020年的事?平安恢复健康就好!头两天为什么禁食?不是要补充蛋白质吗?韩国可以进医院真好

发烧流鼻水,我们都是在家硬抗的。好在我去年在办公室被传染时,已经有了神药PAXLOVID。吃完,确诊4天后我就转阴了

那时候没什么治疗手段,死的人多,所以医院特别小心。

还能在隔离病房里拍片嘚瑟,就说明你问题不大

Your photos are kind of harmless

Let me show you a  gut ranching wrenching photo

In eraly 2020, Seattle was hit hard by COVID 19. There were quite a few COVID related deaths among eldly. Authority had no choice but to shut down the visitation of nursing home to prevent COVID virus from spreading among old people. Those eldly were isolated inside nursing home complex. The relatives and family had to visit the eldly through the wondow. There were people didn't make it through the COVID.

This COVID shit caused unprecedented disaster all over the world. There are over one million deaths in America alone. Did anyone realinze the death doll of Korean war /Vietnam? It is around 50 thousand. 

Once again, this shit can not happen again. To be honest, i am surprised America didn't start World war three by now. I mean, one million death and astronomical amount of loss of money.
