Thank You



This photo of many medical professionals holding signs that say: "I stayed at work for you, you stay at home for us" is very moving. We should stay at home. Thank you to our medical professionals.

And here is a useful link that defines necessary terms for us to understand, such as social distancing, quarantine, self-isolation, and lockdown.

Social distancing means that you are to avoid non essential social activities. You can still do groceries, go for walks. avoid restaurants or parties.  Avoid physical contact with people and keep 2 metres or 6 feet apart from people.  Wash your hands and avoid sick people.

Self-isolation for 14 days is required if you have travelled outside Canada or have been in close contact with an ill traveller.

Quarantine applies to people who are awaiting test results or have tested positive

Lockdown is when the government gets involved closing borders, restaurants etc.

Oh yes! Absolutely, we need to be so very grateful for all those frontline workers and stay home so we don’t exacerbate the problem.

I work for a home improvement place. People are flocking to it because they have nothing to do.

Thanks Christine. we are doing it all. Only leave the house to take a walk around the complex, and don't get near anyone. Our daughters bring anything we need right to the door. We will have to leave Monday morning for Don't surgery. But only one person is allowed in the hospital. Thanks for sharing the picture. How we appreciate those faithful and fearless medical workers. Our grandson who is the nurse in on the front lines, and the other grandson works in a Rest Home...I pray for both of their health.

Great post Christine, and thank you for this and for the link. We were thinking alike today weren't we? :)

Lorraine said...

We're thankful to all of them. Been following all the rules and trying to keep the anxiety at bay. Our son works in a bank and they're considered essential so he has to leave his home and I worry for him. His 4-year-old doesn't understand the social distancing they're doing in their home. Tough times for all. Stay well.
