Hi everyone. Vic here!
Allow me to shift gears from what I usually post for commentary on an issue that has been affecting all of us.
You may have noticed there were no posts for March. I have a legitimate excuse this time: the Coronavirus pandemic. There is just so much going on with my job and how my life is going that writing posts became an afterthought.
As of writing this, I am feeling fine. Life has been going through numerous changes for me. I am an essential employee at my job so I have to work my regular hours at the office. I’m a church-goer so I’ve been worshipping via a live stream. I stay at home as much as possible. Online courses and a project have been keeping me busy during the weekends.
I even noticed that Nickelodeon is helping its young viewers to get through this madness. This includes hand-washing interstitials, dance-alongs every hour, and even an hour-long kids town hall special where kids could ask their questions and share what they’re doing when staying home. I feel this coverage is a bit much for a kid’s network but even the youngest of TV watchers need to be informed on how to stay healthy during these uncertainties about public health.
I am lucky to even have a job now. If I wasn’t so essential or if I wasn’t working from home, there would be many more posts being written and published. Despite that, I have been posting/retweeting more on Twitter when I find something interesting worth mentioning.
Yes, I am just as tired about hearing about this Coronavirus pandemic as you might be. I’m ready for this to be over. We should still check the news about twice a day to keep up on developing news. So, for right now, stay home as much as possible (but fresh air from your backyard is good, too), spend time with your family, catch up on your passions, and, importantly enough, catch up on some good TV! Please stay healthy and safe, keep your social distance, and stay informed (but not too informed).
Many thanks to the doctors, nurses, and other essential employees who cannot stay home but keep business going to serve us. They deserve a lot of appreciation!
Don’t worry, we’ll get through this!
