Well here in California. we have a “shelter in place” order. People are told to stay home unless they need food or medical treatment. We are advised to practice “social distancing”—staying six feet away from anyone else. No need to panic but people still do. Three months ago, Covid 19 was some weird thing happening only in China. Then about two months ago the U.S. reported it’s first death. Last Friday, I caught the news that 900 people had died in the U.S. from the virus in one day. Today the death toll in our country is over 10,000 people.
This thing is spreading fast and even if some stranger on the bus isn’t showing any symptoms he can still infect other people. And the bad news is that officials keep saying we haven’t seen the worst of it yet. That’s our situation here.
I would advise reading up on the spread of this disease in your own area. Don’t panic or get too frightened but just read up on what’s happening to get a general idea of the situation where you are. A bus crammed full of strangers could easily spread the disease. If I lose my job I’m screwed but if I hear of even just one person getting getting ill in our building then I’m out of there.
Can you not get any of your family to drive you?

Just stay 2 meters away from people, wear gloves and don’t touch any surfaces that don’t need touching.
