corona lockdown
on a clear day
and beautiful skies

it's the prelude to the 6 counties in the
bay area lockdown

like a masked man who came in the night...
depending on your expectations
but this one knocked on the door
and might even be carrying the
silver bullets...

it wasn't a total surprise...
I was following daily news broadcasts
from around the world and
the domestic scientific community
assessments so I had expected the
from around the world and

assessments so I had expected the
lockdown to happen but not
till schools had
run the 2 week course of voluntary
closures to, i suspect, yield some stats
on its efficacy for the CDC
to have a full grasp of the local
conditions and from there be able
to make practical recommendations
in the Bay Area.

over the weekend
while a lot of us were going about the
business of life,
while a lot of us were going about the

i guess, after consultations of
the leaders of the local, state and
federal and maybe even in coordination
with WHO
with WHO
everyone must have unanimously
voted to nip it in the bud
PDQ.
other countries had followed suit
in unison with America.
On Monday around brunch time
i heard the lockdown from a friend
so i went to the supermarket to get packages of
pancake mix which i know i
have little left
barely enough
for a kid's breakfast
a lot of people seemed
estranged and lost ...
there were long queues at Safeway.
some tried to keep a minimum
yard length distance as
opposed to Trader Joes

regulated within the shop
so that it's pretty much
 |
| there's probably 50 or less people in the store |
people in gathering and
more room than the 6ft social
distancing.
it looks like CDC
would be assessing the lockdown
result over the initial 3 week period
if the numbers are favorable i think
they will extend it up to a point
when a vaccine or some medication
is finally available
for use when they can safely loosen
in a gradual manner the lockdown.

but it's a worthwhile
sacrifice for survival
and back to normal kind of life.
