Hunkering Down in Portsmouth, Va.

Thanks so much for your great posts on the coronavirus.

My apartment house is on a fairly busy street in Olde Towne, Portsmouth, Virginia.  On a typical day, there used to be on my street at least two or three ambulances (and fire trucks) with sirens blasting. There have been none for the past week anyway – and I’m home almost all the time now.  Hmmm . . . seems strange to me, given that a lot of elderly people live in this neighborhood.

This morning I ran into my downstairs neighbor – she is an RN and works the night shift at Norfolk General/Sentara Hospital in Norfolk.  She said that their patient load is so low that medical personnel are being sent home!  She said they are all puzzled by our governor’s recent call for volunteers to help with the “Coronavirus crisis” (I did not know he said that). Her parting words to me:  “Don’t believe what you hear on TV!”

I hope and pray this ends soon!  It’s all insane.  Everyone is treating other people as bioweapons!
