For me when the year began I was recovering from a minor health issue, a couple of costly repairs needed on the house, and a delay on a new project that I had planned on launching during the first couple of weeks of January.
March began with the launching of that project, all the repairs had been made, and I was feeling that I had fully recovered from the health issue. I was looking forward to spring beginning and getting out.
Even though there was some mention of the coronavirus not many, including myself, was thinking that in just a few days our lives would be changing.
Now as March is coming to an end, there is no clear signs on when the dangers of the coronavirus will be behind us. Events that I would normally be looking forward to attending and photographing have been cancelled. A few have been postponed, but will they be postponed again. I’m starting to think so, even those that have been postponed to mid-may. I’m not thinking that any events will be held before the end of May and even then, they will be much different.
So far we have missed the NCAA basketball championship, the NBA and NHL may not return. Baseball is on hold for who knows how long. Movie and TV productions are at a standstill. New movie releases that had been scheduled to this time have been postpone to later dates. Broadway is dark. Will we have any more sport championships in 2020, or even award shows. When all is said and done and we look back on the year 2020, we may remember it as the year that wasn’t.
Basically I have self-isolated myself at home and only getting out virtually. My financial situation is such that the economy is not hurting as bad for me as it has for others. I am feeling sorry of those who don’t have that and are worrying about what’s going to happen to them.
