Chatted with my sister

I try to call my sister once a week.  We talked about the anger people feel because they can't purchase their plants and seeds at the local garden centers.  She can't understand why people are angry.  Sometimes I feel angry.  Yes, I am very very grateful and most of the time I am content during the lockdown, but to be honest sometimes I am angry.  I also realized that I am not trusting of elected officials.  The lockdown and purchase prohibitions remind me too much of the novel 1984.  I am not optimistic that life will return to anything like normal any time soon.  It's surreal because I don't know anyone that has or had COVID.  COVID is an unseen enemy that has turned my life upside down.  I have seen the YouTube video by Dr. Vong explaining that the virus is not media hype and how it kills.  During this trying time, I acknowledge people's feelings--grief, anger, fear, loneliness because people are going through different and conflicting feelings.
