My town is not taking this Coronavirus thing very seriously. Restaurants and bars are still open and almost nobody is wearing a mask in stores. I don’t know if it is because it is a small town or what but nobody is getting sick in my area. I just assumed it was like that everywhere. Boy was I surprised when I took a trip down south. I knew I would have to wear a mask in the airplane but I was surprised to discover that you have to wear a mask literally everywhere. No only that, but bars and restaurants are only open for outdoor dining. Since I’m on vacation, of course I had to eat out for every single meal. Unfortunately, this meant eating while getting hot and sweaty almost all of the time. It is very hot in the south. Eating outdoors, in the sun, with no air conditioning is very unpleasant. Thankfully my hotel room was very cool and comfortable. The air conditioner worked great in there. So, after a few days of eating without air conditioning, I started getting my food to go. Then I would take it back to my hotel room and eat there. It was cooler and more comfortable. However, it was also very lonely. Eating by yourself in a hotel room is no fun at all. I really hope this whole virus issue gets solved quickly. I would like to be able to eat with other people again and I would like to be sitting in a climate controlled building while doing so.
