It seems like every day things get worse for Italy.
I wonder why they are hit worse than other countries.
I pray things get better for them.
Speaking of praying, yesterday I sat down tired and sad. I really missed mass. I missed singing the songs, I missed Eucharist, I missed, yes, my fellow parishioners.
Spain is right behind. 467 deaths yesterday.
I just hope we can keep the curve shallow here.
I have health, including lung issues, so I am keenly aware.
I went to the grocery last week. This past Friday I had a doctor’s appt., nothing major, an appt. that had been made almost a year ago.
The grocery was fine but they had no chicken or eggs. Here I live in Delmarva heart of chicken farming, AND THEY HAVE NO CHICKEN!!!
But insert smile here, we can live without chicken if need be.
The doctor’s office assured me I could come, all was fine. I went in and they asked if I had cough, fever, etc. I said “no” and they took my temp.
I myself had sanitary wipes with me which I purchased before there was none. The lady who did an ultrasound on my stents washed her hands for over a minute, scrubbing vigorously with soap. She wore rubber gloves while examining and testing me.
After all done I go to Jeep, rip out a sanitary wipe and thoroughly wipe down my hands. I also went to liquor store and got some vodka. Always doing my transaction then wiping my hands down.
Oh, an no touchy-face.
My poor niece has a beauty parlor in a retirement home. She was shut down and her and her employees had no jobs. She, God bless, managed to find a beauty shop and rented a station from them for a couple of weeks. She also go her employees a job.
She tells me her rent is due, should she pay?
I am her accountant and told her not to pay. I don’t know how this is going to work but damn, they took away what she was renting.
Point of this narrative is to emphasize how Americans are doing what they have to do Shucks my priest sent us all emails and said for our love of the Eucharist we can tell God we gave it up for Him for Lent.
Hey, you gotta be creative.
Delaware, btw, made a contract with the Dogfish Craft Brewery to make hand sanitizer.
Americans. We’re the best.
“It seems like every day things get worse for Italy.

Since the 1980’s they allowed 250,00o+ Chinese workers into their country top displace Italian workers in the textile industry. That’s why for starters.
No racism here, just the facts. And I am of Chinese descent.
