purplecaramelNo baby shower. My friend's state is in lock down and her job gave her a travel ban. Her state is one state over from mine, was affected after my state, and somehow it's in a lot worse shape. The articles from the two places are in a lot of respects opposites. I'm on the border of two different states, one of which I travel to for work daily. My job made sure to know my commute is required while her job won't let her leave.
Perspective is relative and judgments of any kind are made on assumptions that every situation is the same. They're obviously not.
Now, it's quite possible that my job cares less if I die. That's completely stupid if so, because they're on a skeleton crew as it is. That's stupid even from a heartless economic standpoint. But I'm young and fairly healthy. I'm afraid of medical waiting rooms in the city, not driving my reverse commute to bumfuck nowhere. If this weren't my first child and if I were less anxious, I might not go to the doctor until and unless things calm down.
