NCWN-West will not hold the monthly Literary Hour there in March or April. We will see what the future holds.
This illness is far more severe for those who are elderly and for anyone with high blood pressure or heart problems. Almost everyone I know over the age of sixty is taking blood pressure medicine.
The younger people can get this virus and will be very sick with possible long-lasting effects. But the young adults don't seem to be as careful about social distancing or following the guidelines. They can cause the death of someone simply by spreading the virus when they gather with their friends or any groups of people.
Families are coming up to the mountains like it is vacation time. What are they thinking? Don't they realize this virus is in every state and no one is safe from it?
No matter what kind of treatment is found, and there is not one that has been proven to work, the only way to stop this virus is by stopping the spread of it.
I am self-isolating at my home, and it isn't easy because I usually have some help come in once or twice a week. Now I have no one come inside my home, and I am responsible for everything. I try to go for a ride and take my little dog to a place where we won't be near anyone. She gets in a walk and it keeps me from feeling like a shut-in.
My Monday night classes are going really well. Although I have never before taught an online course, I think we are doing well. My students seem to like it. I am thinking about doing more of these in the future.
If you are a writer and would like to guest post here, please let me know. I welcome interviews and 300 word articles on how to deal with this virus, how to keep busy at home, or how to write a good story.
Stay safe, stay well.

I am glad that you are self isolating, and thrilled that your on-line course is going so well.
ReplyDeleteI don't take blood pressure medication, but have other issues. There is no question that I fall into the vulnerable category.
So many people, not just over 65, have illness that put them in the high risk group. I know of people who are still going out and I hope they don't spread the virus. I am still staying home, but I sat on my deck in the sunshine today which was so welcome after all the rain we have had.Stay safe, EC. HOpe your government is doing a better job of protecting you there.
