Week 6- Wandering thoughts during lock down

Image
Its one of those days, I woke up feeling sad..I hardly ever worry about anything except for that yearly dose of  unresolved issue I get(Inside joke).. But this is different.  I'm not sure why/what bothers me.. I mean I know but I don't know. Its been 6 weeks since I started working from home, I don't know how long we will be doing this. I'm not complaining about my work or working from home, I quite enjoy this routine and spending more time with A.. Its the uncertainty of the situation and the unknowns scare me the most.

When it was within the walls of China, it was just some one else problem, when it happened in Italy and Iran, developed countries just blamed their administration. Right now when the reality kicks in for  developed countries, they are failing big time. Anxiety is building up for small businesses and those who are in non-essential jobs, many already waiting for aid from the government. Government is struggling to focus on two equally important issues, one is to address COVID and protect the citizens at the same time making sure the economy doesn't fall.  I don't think this situation can be avoided, but can be controlled.
