According to re- cent reports, Wuhan has ended their 76-day lockdown. Gradually it seems that life there is slowly returning to nor- mal.
The Guardian re- ported that at midnight on April 7, authorities al- lowed residents to leave the city for the first time since Jan. 23 when 11 million people were put under lockdown to con- tain the quickly spread- ing coronavirus.
Now its about re- building.
Here in the U.S. we are in the middle of that wave. The end right now seems so far off.
We must remember though, it will pass, we will make it out of this and learn from our mis- takes so it won't happen again.

Anyone who is a Cost- co member knows that this is a peak day and hour for shopping. Nor- mally the isles are full of people, workers handing out food samples. Kids crying, people talking, laughter, noise.
There was none of that. Costco was eerily quiet.

“I wanna get next

I finally surrendered to the idea that this was the new normal, and re- membered why I was there.
I quickly looked at the list of items I need- ed, found them, paid, and left.
Even after this Cost- co experience, I tried to remindmyselfthatthese changes are just tempo-
