Only a month ago, we were all living normal lives, seeing friends, booking dinner reservations in favorite restaurants, traveling to nearby cities. Then, in the blink of an eye, the world turned inside out and upside down when it was clear that the pandemic was hitting hard. We learned to stay home almost all the time, to keep our social distance when we go out to the grocery store, and to wear masks and latex gloves. We wash our hands over and over, we scrub our house keys, and wipe down our smart phones and keyboards. The coronavirus was upon us. We stay glued to the TV for every news report and realize that we are all connected in a way we had never been before. My early morning trip to the supermarket and to the ATM remain the high points of my week. We watch while feeling helpless at the exhaustion of the health care professionals and their lack of needed supplies. We thank them, and thank our grocers, postal workers, bankers, Uber and taxi drivers, train and bus drivers, UPS, FedEx, and DHL delivery men—and are grateful as they each contribute a semblance of normalcy to a life that is anything but normal. We all know people who are currently ill, and I pray for them and the many others who suffer so much. - A note from susan miller. . . . . . #lockdown #lockdown2020 #etribunepk #dawndotcom #dawn_dot_com #etribune #wu_pakistan #diaryofaneemhakeem #the_imaged #travelpakistan #travelgirlpakistan #thedoctor #doctorsofinstagram #doctoronduty #yolo #unsungheroes #covid_19 #coronavirus #battleagainstcorona #instagram #gynaecology #ourplanetdaily #onepiece #photooftheday #picturepeople #picturepakistan #abbasishaheedhospital #snapseed #shadesofblue #emergency (at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-h5eDMHJwr/?igshid=1ddt4uzij3vd3
