Quarantine Diary, week six

Monday, Apr. 20

I can’t believe we’re on week 6.

It’s very quiet here for 4/20. The streets are nearly deserted with fewer people than I’ve seen the last few days, but lots of helicopters buzzing around.

The ending of The Plot Against America really hit me hard. The series was excellent, but it felt very close to our current reality.

I read one of the Prince retrospectives and I’m mourning him all over again and missing him, 3 years after he died.

I find that I get very emotional over lots of things, like hearing certain songs.

Zazie had to close because the funding they applied for hasn’t arrived. Until now they were remaining open for takeout, and they’re continuing to pay insurance for all of their employees. They’re the most popular restaurant in Cole Valley and the heart of the neighborhood. This one really hurts.

The networks need to stop airing his daily press briefings. There’s no useful information and they’re getting dangerous with his false claims.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the November election. I expect there to be a lot of election meddling, and if 45 loses I expect rioting by his supporters and that he’ll refuse to leave office. I’m sure it’s going to be very ugly.
