Lou and I left the house today, oh yes we did. We went to the Kaiser Waipio pharmacy for some stuff, and then on the way home we stopped by Leonard’s malasadas truck in Waikele. We ran back out soon after that to the post office. The whole time, of course, I/we wore face masks when we were out of the car. I kept looking around at other people as we went along.…

HIARNG units on the move per da Gov
Guard units got activated for assistance with COVID-19 efforts. I saw on social media some people commenting that, oh, at least it’s not a real deployment (referencing danger). Think about it though. With COVID-19 assistance and containment efforts, it’s even MORE dangerous. They’re like the first responders, on the scene and breaching that 6-feet social distancing in order to do their jobs and help people.…

Lou Making Face Masks Re: COVID-19
Lou has been making face covering masks for Justin since last night. You go girl, support the effort! Pretty fucked up tho, why the Guard doesn’t provide this PPE item for their activated troops. Or, is what their supply channels get too cheap that the soldiers want something more durable and washable? WTF over?…

Bodies Piling Up – News Headline
I commented to Lou about a few different things related to the current unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic environment and the things going on that have never happened before in our lifetime. I told her there might be value in capturing slices, tidbits, of events just to document, as it impacts our lives. I’ve captured things like news video of what Honolulu streets look like (empty) during last weekend’s curfew.…

Easter Sunday 2020
Happy Easter! It was a much scaled down observance of Easter compared to all the years past, because of the self-isolation stay-at-home rule in effect due to the Coronavirus pandemic. I barbecued some steak and sausages, and Lou made salmon fillet, red rice, brownies, etc.. Rachelle brought fried chicken. So it was just us in the household and Justin’s family.…

Eerie curfew images of Honolulu
Honolulu (and Maui county, not sure if entire state) started nighttime curfew as a part of stepped up efforts against the coronavirus, starting last night for Honolulu. I was watching the evening news and saw new footage of how empty the Honolulu streets were last night and Friday evening. So strange, eerie and almost out of a scary movie.…

Isolated life’s becoming a blur
The scenery hasn’t changed in almost 2 weeks. Lou and I tend to ask each other what day of the week it is. Between teleworking, doing stuff on my computer, and doing a flurry of new financial planning things, I’m getting info crossed. There’s no visual and surroundings change to separate it all mentally!
This time in COVID-19 Infamy
I guess just to mark this time period in history, I’m adding a little snippet of what this Coronavirus is. Because it has yet to crest in its deathly spread, and who knows how long that will go on and what the ultimate toll will be. From this web page… arbitrarily chosen.

Symptoms, spread and other essential information about the new coronavirus and COVID-19
As we continually learn more about coronavirus and COVID-19, it can help to reacquaint yourself with some basic information.…

We must laugh in the face of this pandemic
Another approach to documenting this world of ours and the craziness of this COVID-19 pandemic is a satirical one. The web is exploding with memes and videos making light of our sad predicament. Sometimes that’s all we can do. I saw this one video that cracked me up. One of our old classmates posted it in our SVS75 Alum WhatsApp chat.…

Teleworking during this COVID-19
This whole global coronavirus pandemic is a new world order kind of thing, totally disrupting the very fabric of our lives. I should start religiously jounraling about every day that we’re going into this. Stay at home orders from the state. All this social separation and quarantine requirements. Work totally disrupted and teleworking.…
