4-16-20 : Fortune cookie, without a fortune - Day 24

Home today, during what is my current scheduled work week. Regrettably, chronic health conditions don’t give a shit about a pandemic. MS doesn’t give you a day off - you hope it’s just the nagging voice in your limbs or the back of your skull, but heaven help you if you allow stress, lack of sleep, illness, or depression to affect your life. It seems like the chicken or the egg, which issue is causing which, but I happen to think it’s more like the hypnotic spiral illusion - without getting sucked into the madness, try and find the beginning.

 The health of the family is always at the forefront of our minds, as it is (hopefully) for everyone else. Both the wife and I are "essential" employees and this forces us to think about whom we come in contact with and where we have traveled; work, gas station, grocery store, etc. Thankfully, the wife and I have been fortunate that our companies have, at least, made attempts to make it easier and safer for those of us still required to work. 

COVID-19 quarantine has made the world an interesting place. Not that it wasn’t previously, but personal values and their hypocrisy have been brought to the forefront. Who would have thought that companies and CEO’s would have been so obvious about their disdain to workers?
