Quarantine... Bitter-sweet #6

Hey guys, So today we've had a Tsunamis (and following shock-waves) of news. Portugal : 642 confirmed infected and 2 dead... Starts with a fucking punch to the gut. Unfortunately, not a surprise (this is so weird to write or think). I mean, this is what we've been waiting for. We all know this virus isn't going to disappear one day to the next but still... we can all dream and there's always that glimmer of hope. Such a freaking sucker-punch. Starts with a bang huh? But not everything can be bad news or else... Oh god don't even want to imagine... Looking on the bright side, China announced that they will start clinical trials in April for the FIRST CORONA VACCINE!! I have to be honest, when I read those news, well, I got excited and reallyy impatient. I just want this nightmare to be over. Over as fast as possible. Do you think I can hibernate anywhere? Like in those movies where they send you to another planet and make you sleep for 200 years in a p...

Quarantine... Please hear me out #2

Hey guys! So, today I woke up with this huge sense of frustration and self-aware. You know when you try to put your point across, and feel like the only other way to do so, is screaming it out to the world? That's the level of frustration I woke up with today. When the first case of this terrible virus broke out in China, I'll be the first one to admit that I wasn't too worried about it. But why? Maybe because it was happening on the other side of the globe. Maybe because I thought this little bubble I live in, would never pop. Naive... So naive. In Portugal, we currently have 169 positive cases... Might not seem that much, comparing with other European countries who are in their several hundreds or even thousands. Unfortunately we're on our way to meet our fellow companions. Schools and universities are closed until the 9th of April (at least... we all know this will be postponed), most restaurants, bars and all clubs are closed, pharmacies are working on...

Hey guys!! I'm back! This past year has been so crazy but don't get me started about the mayhem going on in 2020!!! What is even happening!? If you you're in China or Europe, you're probably experiencing the toughest crisis since your existence. Fucking CORONA VIRUS! Speaking from someone in quarantine right now, I decided to create some daily posts to help anyone not go completely insane about being quarantined at home. Or at least share about some of the things I'm doing, while at home... and well, trying not to go crazy. *insert 1 more synonym of  'crazy' here* Stay safe guys and try to keep your social contact to a MINIMUM!! Beijinhos, Jessy
