Time is flying and yet oh, so slow

It was only two weeks ago:

I played the last game of the season at the Collingwood Curling Club
I voted to close down all public facilities at the end of the day.
There were only a few deaths from COVID 19 in Canada, and none in Ontario.


Today:

53 people in Canada are dead from this brand new disease.
Ten people were reported killed by COVID 19 in Ontario just today.
Millions of other people are unemployed.
Billions of dollars has been pledged to keep us all afloat.

It feels like a year since January 25th, the day the first case was identified in Canada.
To the families of those killed and sickened, it must feel like an eternity.
