The city of Boston is in quarantine. Schools are closed until the end of April, so at least six weeks at home. Has it really even sunk in yet? The initial feelings are those of fear for the more vulnerable folx who are not in a situation like our family, countered with a sense of overwhelm –euphoria-like– that our family will have six weeks to pursue personal interests and growth, all while not having to worry about finding money, as we will still be paid. Most families are not at all in this situation–I consider us to be so fortunate. Ela and I went out, and observed that there were less people out, and some folx were really careful to keep their distance. There was one woman who maintained at least six feet between herself and anyone else. I wonder if she should have even come out– Ela asks me is it worth risking it all for a Starbucks coffee?
