Going to write this little story about somehow some good stuff happening here in Quebec, Montreal. In Quebec, all schools, university, public place have been closed starting today, some place have been lowered for crowd activities. Yesterday i was having major anxiety about taking the subway to get to my job. To my surprise, not only the subway were like at like only 20% about capacity, but people were understanding the problem it seem cause we were all like standing at a few feet if possible from each other. I still feel not secure like everyone else about the situation, but if there is some area in the states or in the world that have a major subway transportation, and they still have their schools running, i think only this single step can help a lot to reduce the spreading. Anyway with this, i think i will sleep a little bit better, cause in fact, was anxious about it during all weekend. After the crazy Thursday we got on our side that cases double, sports shutting down, wife of PM got virus, PM on lockdown, did not work Friday but went in the morning get some groceries ( and felt like an idiot because because i really need to buy one pack of toilet paper, my last roll was at 10%! ) and saw after on TV that people were nearly fighting each other at Costco, well, like anyone else, stress level spiked.
Pretty sure a lot here are currently living more stressful situation, just want to share this story, maybe vent a bit, but feel a bit less stressed since i need to get to work, working in a mandatory service and need to take the subway to get to my job. More stressful thing are probably coming, cant do anything about, but going to spread the word all, keep your distance, wash your hands, dont touch your face. We cant stop thinking its temporary, and it need to be done. Convince younger people about the seriousness of the situation, tell them they might not get any signs at all and hold the virus up to 14 days in them, spread it, just get like a cold symptoms .Its serious. If our world is getting shutdown, its not just a bigger cold.
Tried to find some new about how it was this morning in Montreal in english but only found an article about it in french:
Les enfants à la maison, des autobus presque vides, des restaurants et cafés beaucoup moins fréquentés ou fermés… Lundi matin, Montréal fonctionnait au ralenti, alors que les mesures visant à ralentir la propagation de la COVID-19 s’intensifient.
