My Personal Pandemic Story: Part 2

Being an introvert made quarantine almost easy. The first two weeks almost felt like a normal spring break for me. The only part that was different was not being able to go out to eat or go to the movie theater. In fact, my son and I got to catch one of the very last movie shown before the movie theaters shut down. The theaters shut down March 18th. We saw the movie Onward on March 17th. Covid tricked us into thinking it was just a common cold or flu,  then viciously attacked when we least expected. As the weeks dragged on, and the need reports became more grim. I started to panic. What if I caught Covid just going to the grocery store and got really sick? Or worse what if I got my son sick? I became fearful of leaving the house to get just groceries. 3 weeks into being home, we had to distribute learning materials to the elementary school students, including chromebooks, because it was clear that we weren't coming back to the school building for the rest of the school year.  That's when the distance learning started, and the most difficult part of this pandemic started for me.
