COVID-19 journal, March 18, 2020

March 18th

Everything on our calendar has been cancelled. A surprise birthday party, a concert, trips, appointments.  I keep it posted on the fridge though, in case the universe changes its mind.

Every day, emails are sent from organizations and businesses, entitled "how we are coping with COVID-19." Shoe order sites, oil delivery, nonprofits, concert venues, cable companies, credit card offers Everyone tells how they're wiping, limiting, responding to, even if we never have come into contact with anyone there before, even if their businesses require no wiping or human interaction of any kind.

Monday: 17 cases in Maine
Tuesday: 32
Wednesday: 42

6,000 people have died worldwide.
7,000 cases now in the US.

Today I went or a walk at Maine Audubon with Luci, made soup for dinner, raked the fall leaves off the burgeoning tulips, and called friends.
