It was a good morning until I heard the news reporting that COVID-19 was now spreading. The news described how this flue isn't like other flues; it's deadlier; I didn't like where this was heading. At first, countries restricted air flights and cruise ships; but soon, this virus started showing up worldwide. And, as people canceled their vacations and trips, they were instructed to self-quarantine inside. It's been a year since I last stepped outside my door; but vaccines are coming; the future's not as bleak. Hopefully, we'll pick up from where we were before; kids in school, and life back to a standard workweek.
