We Are Not All in This Together

By Twotimesthefun @slcs48n1
For all the news stories about how we are all in this extended quarantine together, there are still parents planning family gatherings and letting their kids hang out with friends.

The girls see social media images of their friends hanging out at each other's homes, having sleepovers and parties. They are mad that we won't let them make plans.

What's great about their closest friends is that their parents won't let them go out either. The old saying that there is strength in numbers is true. 


Even if they did get together, there was no place to go. All the restaurants, coffee shops, movie theaters, etc. were closed. 

A friend said some people were not taking it seriously because they didn't know anyone who was sick or died yet. I'd like to think that once they knew someone, those families would change their behavior and work to keep us all safer. At least, that's what I keep telling myself. I guess we'll see as time goes on.
