When the lockdown started, around mid-March, I thought I was going to start writing, that ideas would flow, fourteen days of quarantine and I would be able to document what was going to happened, step by step.
My master plan was to write about how businesses, big and small, would react to this unforeseen situation. I was uncertain, worried, this was history in the making, what would we tell our kids in twenty years, about this time, would we tell them that we couldn’t go out, or socialize, or only that what it was normal before was not normal anymore.
Unfortunately, it did not happen like that. I got a big case of writers’ block. Now, we are in June and so much have happened, and the fourteen-day mandatory lockdown became three months, and it became an eternal quarantine.
Everything is opening back in Florida, but the curve is not going down with 120,000 deaths in the nation, with not signs of slowing down, anytime soon.
Its frustrating, and lots of things have happened in a short period of time. I’m going to be writing snips here and there of what I feel and how all this is evolving, and I’ll try my best to be consistent. Maybe we will return to what we were before, maybe not, only time will tell.
I live in Florida and most things are back open, most businesses and establishments are still applying safety protocols, will see the year is about to end and there is a vaccine that is already started to make rounds, we are hopeful things we will getting better from here.
