Life in the Coronaverse: Day 15
Trump is accusing New York doctors and nurses of hoarding masks, gloves, and scrubs. Lets do some math: A nurse in each wing deals with 20 patients in a wing. They put on a new mask and gloves each time. Thats 20/hr. X 12 hr shift = 240 a shift per nurse. Say there are 5 nurses on duty per wing. 1200 masks and gloves per wing. The hospital I used to work at had 12 wings, including ICU (it was a very small hospital) . 14,400 masks and gloves per 12 hours, or 28,800 a day. And thats just for...

Life in the Coronaverse: Day 13
Hoo Boy. Things are getting intense here in New York. Its hard to keep 6 feet away in a place where you live in tiny apartments. I dont think people realize how small they are. New Yorkers are used to having the city outside as part of their home. Theres a LOT of park and playground space because people dont have yards. But now people arent just exercising in the park, theyre congregating just to have some human presence.

Quarantine Day 11
Im starting to lose my wits. Meanwhile, the NYC hospitals are completely overwhelmed by the sick.
I worry for the areas of the country that dont have the resources or inclination to fight this. The American Way puts freedom above all. The Human Way is to sacrifice to save others.

I know that these pages are harder to read that if I typed it. Its easier for me to journal by hand, and I feel I should share. Document everything.

The Pickle Slicer Joke
Jokes will keep us sane. Heres one of my favorites:
Mr. Jones worked at the pickle factory for twenty years. He was on the assembly line, just a few feet from the pickle slicer.
One day he came home with his hands in his pockets, tears running down his face.
Mrs. Jones ran to him. What happened?
I was fired today.
What?
For twenty years I worked on the assembly line, and each day Ive had this terrible urge to put my finger in the pickle slicer. Today, I could resist no more, and I put my...
