Well 2020, you already weren't my fuckin favorit but cudos to you for taking it to an unforeseen level.

While Mr. Belize aren't in a capital R relationship it is currently the relationship keeping me sane. He's quite possibly a sex addict but in the absence of a Xanax prescription and my gym being closed he's my primary stress reliever. It doesn't hurt that he thinks I'm hilarious and he's a great listener. He's really my only person here in this very lonely time. I'm a bit worried I will loose him in the next month or so because he is a respiratory therapist for the national guard. But at this point he hasn't been sent anywhere. He is getting very tempting offers from all over right now though that honestly I can't believe he hasn't taken. One offered 4,000/week and would also pay housing and food. With him getting accepted into PA school for the fall it seems too good to pass up to me.

It's incredible to me how many people think we're overreacting and that it's "just" a bad flu. Bad flus don't do what has happened in Italy. It's not hypothetical there are real time examples of how fuckin bad it can get. A friend argued that Italy is an older population than the US, which is accurate- but we're a sicker population with less equality in access to care. So we very likely more vulnerable. Our 40-60 year olds have heart disease and diabetes in insane numbers so while they're not "old" they're just as vulnerable as a healthy over 65 year old. Boomer... it's coming for you.

Also... what does it say about us that we suddenly find ways to shelter the homeless when it seems beneficial to the health of the rest of us? Maybe it wasn't as unsolvable problem as y'all have been saying. Maybe this will be the thing that makes people earnestly develop ways to make Universal Basic Income happen.

... or maybe next year at this time it will be a distant memory we all repress.
