The world has stopped for coronavirus. Everyone is at home, trying to hide from the world, hoping nobody breathes on you. Watching for every little sniff, sneeze or cough.
My mother just stormed into my room, telling me that I've been coughing and asking if I need any Rebuçados. I know its serious when she teaches me a new word. She had an operation recently, and I've been taking care of her. But she's a Portuguese mother and prefers to mother me.
A few months ago, talking about whether she should get an operation or not, we had a lot of life or death discussions. Everything seemed depressing and sad. And now, we are at a similar place again. Wondering about mortality, how lightly to take this serious threat. We haven't been around a lot of people lately-except for people in the hospital.
The waiting game is hard. But not as hard as the coughing and the gasping for air. I hope you have lots of cough drops, everyone. Good luck, stay safe, stay at home and stay healthy!!!
