Coronavirus ~ COVID-19

Sometimes I think it's crazy how we have acclimated to so many huge changes and are just like... here is the new normal... and go.

We got our thermal gun thermometers in at work yesterday. We will now use them on individuals coming into shelter, including children. I have to point this gun like thing at their head to take their temperature after giving them a face mask. I wish there was a better way but we have to keep some distance and have a way to have a thermometer that we can use on countless people in the coming months. I think with the kids I'll take my temperature with it first so they see it's not going to hurt. This is a very far cry from how I usually bring children in. The little ones especially that need snuggles get carried around by me, if they want, fed yummy snacks, read stories. None of that now. Yesterday I lined up four siblings to the bathroom to scrub before being able to pass them a box of apples and crackers.
