Over 6000 people are dead in the US. Grim news to wake up to. Today I am going out with Rachel into the big bad world. We are going to deliver food to the Rise kids families. I am nervous to go out but this at least gives me a sense of purpose. I am […]
More than ½ a million people are on unemployment. New York has refrigerator trucks parked outside the hospitals to use as morgues. We went for a walk today but turned around after 10 minutes because it was too cold. Thankfully Emily and I are still getting paid for our jobs. I’m keeping in touch with the
Wimbledon has been cancelled. The governor says stay home but people are still going out. It is so hard to stay home. I got gas today and now I feel like I’m infected even though I wore gloves. We will run out of gloves soon. I ordered more but they won’t be here for weeks.
