As of yesterday April 3rd, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC, recommends Americans to wear a fabric mask in public such as a grocery store or a public transportation. My friends told me product masks are already out of stock in stores. CDC recommends to use anything fabric made at home or simply use a bandana or something to cover our nose and mouth.
I sewed three face masks for my family and myself. I used some organic cotton and gauze. It is comfortable to breath. I am satisfied to my homemade mask.

Walmart and Target announced their new policy. Starting from today, they will limit the number of customers who can enter the store. The customer can only walk one-way in the store. I didn’t go to the store so I don’t know how inconvenient this new policy for customers. Every day I am alert of new announcements that make our daily life tighten and inconvenient.

This pandemic term is definitely not fun for humans. But it is happening for reasons. It seems to be beneficial for the planet Earth. Now that less cars and airplanes are driving, the air has gotten much cleaner without air prolusion from gas emission. Less people go outside especially at night, so that we don’t consume much electricity as before. We stay home and spend more time with family, so that our family bond has gotten stronger than before. I want to keep focusing on the positive sides during this tough transition. And of course I hope everything will calm down as soon as possible so that we all can get back to our original routine.

In the evening my friend and I tried our new longer route. We walked more than 5 miles (8 km). I felt great to have sweat coming from inner muscle.
