May 2020 Coronavirus Scrapbook

I made toilet paper/water bottle/pretzel sticks care packages for our delivery people.


The irony 😄

I'm glad that we get two HelloFresh meals a week. It's a good source of food in the midst of supply chain problems.

This isn't about the Chinese people, it's about the Chinese government.


He's right. 👏



To end on a more optimistic note, I like what the valedictorian of Princeton had to say:
