Happy April Fool’s Day. I understand these measures taken to stop the spread of the virus are deadly serious, but freezing in place sometimes feels like one giant prank.

Yes, most of us will be spending more time at home to stop the spread of COVID-19. New York State has extended orders to stay in for two more weeks and the CDC has recommended it for another month. Weird experience. Of course there are lots of conspiracy theories floating out there.

But hopefully we are all doing well and keeping up our spirits. We don’t have pets but I imagine if we did it would be something like this, right?

We can beat this thing and stop the spread and flatten the curve. We can do it together, by staying apart. Stay strong.
