Nolie's Life

COVID – 19

I had seen this going around facebook and shared it so it would appear in my memories thing. I decided to share it as well so it is documented here on the blog where I have documented so many memories through the years.

  • Gas prices at a record low (between $0.60-$0.72/litre).
  • Self-distancing measures on a rise.
  • Tape on the floors at grocery stores and others to help distance shoppers 2m (6ft) from each other.
  • Limited number of people inside stores, therefore lineups outside the store doors.
  • Non-essential stores and businesses mandated closed.
  • Parks, trails, entire cities locked up.
  • Entire sports seasons cancelled.
  • Concerts, tours, festivals, entertainment events – cancelled.
  • Weddings, family celebrations, holiday gatherings – cancelled.
  • No masses, churches are closed.
  • Schools are all closed.
  • No gatherings of 50 or more, then 20 or more, now 5 or more.
  • Don’t socialize with anyone outside of your home.
  • We are to distance from each other.
  • Shortage of masks, gowns, gloves for our front-line workers.
  • Shortage of respirators for the critically ill.
  • Panic buying sets in and we have no toilet paper, no disinfecting supplies, no paper towel no laundry soap, no hand sanitizer.
  • Shelves are bare.
  • Manufacturers, distilleries and other businesses switch their lines to help make visors, masks, hand sanitizer and PPE.
  • Government closes the border to all non essential travel, calls Canadians home and makes it mandatory to self isolate for 14 days.
  • Fines are established for breaking the rules.
  • Ford sets fines for those price-gauging others.
  • Stadiums and recreation facilities open up for the overflow of Covid-19 patients.
  • Press conferences daily from both Prime Minister Trudeau and Premier Ford.
  • Government incentives to stay home.
  • Barely anyone in the street or on the roads.
  • People wearing masks and gloves outside.
  • Essential service workers are terrified to go to work.
  • Medical field workers are afraid to go home to their families.
  • 1,000,000 applications for Employment Insurance as people go without work.

They say it started in Wuhan, China at a seafood market. Hundreds of thousands affected, dead, dying, critically ill. Many recovered.

This is the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic, declared March 11th, 2020.

Why, you ask, do I write this status?

One day it will show up in my memory feed, and it will be a yearly reminder that life is precious. To not take the things we dearly love for granted.

We have so much!
Be thankful. Be grateful.
Be kind to each other – love one another – support everyone.

We are all one! ❤️

Spread the love!

⁣Since April my Nana has been battling cancer. She peacefully passed away yesterday afternoon. I am so grateful for the time my children had to know her. You will be missed Nana. We are comforted knowing you are no longer in pain.
I know I am not alone when it comes to worrying ab I know I am not alone when it comes to worrying about what to do this Halloween with the kids. Some are choosing to still go trick or treating. Some are looking for alternatives.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am one of those looking for alternatives. Due to many reasons our family has taken this pandemic very seriously. We are sticking to our bubble are are children are remote learning. Going trick or treating in the eyes of my husband and myself defeats everything we have done to stay safe.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I came upon quite a few great ideas for the kids to celebrate Halloween this year while remaining safe and not bursting our bubble.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check out the newest blog post (link in bio) for 5 ways you can celebrate Halloween during COVID-19.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
