Hello ladies..I haven't been here for a while been extremely busy in the pharmacy and we are the front line worker. Other business are slowing down and restaurant only do take out only and all non essential things are closed..Doctor won't take patients and only do phone call consultation..our pharmacy line is ringing off the hook..you should see people shopped like there is no tmorrow .all toilet papers in the city ran out and no matter how much we ordered it's gone in few hours even everytging was back order now..hand sanitizers..gloves..masKS. surgical and non surgical masks such as N95 all sold out. .the price are skyrocketed high.rubbing alcohol and therometer all sold out in an hour..the selves are all empty..we ordered 500 hand sanitizers and was gone in 3 hours..it's like a mad house in my pharmacy..people panicking because of these coronavirus..as of today Italy on error 10 thousands deaths which beat more than china over 3500 deaths..the USA has over 1000 deaths now..this is like world War 3 except not fighting with people but fighting the virus..there is one customer she was talking to me and tell me what's going on in this world.

Listening to one of my customer telling me this pandemic is a wake up call for humanity..too much greed in this world and too much hatred..people killing each other for nothing and on a shooting rampage for nothing becsuse of hatred..people just don't care one another..she said after this pandemic is over I'm sure people appreciate life better and don't take everything for granted.
She said people works too much and don't care abut family..the world is horrible now and people don't care about the planet and polluted everywhere..the air we breathe is horrible .people care about themselves too much and don't care for other..a simple things people don't get along with family .friends .relatives etc because it's too much hatred for themselves and now this qualitine makes you stays home and make you appreciate life and everything more not self centered and greed and hatred..God has eyes and see everything she Said . It's for us to learn a lesson and appreciate life and everything more. .wow I just stood there and let her talked to me and it's soo true..now everyone stays home during these qualitine time and spend more time with family and loved one more appreciate life more.

I watched the coronavirus stats everyday and the number of cases and death keep rising .it will be as bad as the spanish flu in 1918..Canada will be in lock down soon and so far over 5000 people infected but only 55 deaths..mohaned taliked to me everyday and worries about me..tell me to wear gloves and masks everyday which I did as I work in the pharmacy .morocco is still way better than others 550 infected and 19 deaths only..my plan was to go there again in July it not sure if I be able to go this year .anyways enjoy the time staying at home with lovEd one and stays safe.
