Covid-19 and How It Has Sort of Affected Our Lives

We are in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Obviously it has disrupted the lives of millions of people. This subject came up on a FB page. Not so much disruption with me, my husband and our adult son. We are both retired, couch potato slugs. Our adult son is Autistic so he doesn't have a clue as to the current situation other than he doesn't get to go inside the store with us right now. 
So far the only behavior out of the ordinary for us has been the masks and gloves. We have always used hand sanitizer. We keep it at home and in all of our vehicles. This was nothing new. 

We did have an experience recently that brought home the issue of Covid. Our van broke down. We had to call for a tow truck. When the driver finally arrived he said he couldn't take us home in his truck. COVID prevention. All the while he's talking to us with a mask over his furry beard!! I'm sure there was a secure seal there. He finally relented, hubby rode in the van. Our son and I masked up and mashed ourselves together as far away from the driver as possible. Heads turned...no talking. 

I don't mind the "social distancing", the masks, gloves etc...etc. I do mind the constant pounding of information into our heads through local and national news. It reminds me of the Vietnam War years. Every single day we'd get reports of the dead, wounded and missing in action. Just run a crawler and give us news about other stuff going on! There HAS TO BE other stuff going on for gawd sake! In fact I know there is other stuff going on. The Weather Channel app has actual videos proving it. Until we start seeing something other than Covid shit I'll DVR the local news, fast forward to the weather and be done with it.  
                                                             
This is our son. I worry for him more than anyone because he is so innocent.
