The COVID-19 Diary: Monday 13 April

I had a scheduled follow up doctor appointment today so I got out my old N95 mask.

Hello, Apple? Face ID stopped working on my iPhone for some reason.

I was afraid that when I got to the doctor’s office it would be packed and someone would jump me and steal it. I arrived when they were reopening after lunch. I was the only patient there. The only one. I went in with my mask on. None of the staff had on masks. I figured that if they weren’t wearing ones then I didn’t need to so I started to take mine off – as they were putting theirs back on. “Oh, you only wear them when the office is open?” I thought to myself. That seems to defeat the purpose but, hey. You’re the professionals.

I had to take it off again when they took my temperature. I’m glad I strapped this prop from Alien to my face to protect myself.

(Alternate joke: I had to take it off again when they took my temperature. I don’t understand why I had to do that for them to take my temperature rectally, but hey – they’re the professionals.)

Seriously though, you’d think they’d have an ear thermometer or one of those forehead zappers.

While I was out I bought gas, which is under $2 a gallon here. I’d be happier about that if 1) I could go anywhere and 2) it didn’t mean we’re probably in another depression.

While we’re talking commodities (commode-ities?) I ordered groceries and was actually able to get toilet paper.

While I was out I thought to myself “Traffic doesnt see

Stay healthy and safe
