They have cancelled the Saturday Market which is huge blow to the Salt Spring Island economy. As I watch the local grocer's being pillaged and a box of tissue does not seem to be available, I have been noticing what a loss it is to not touch, or be touched.
Sometimes there is a weighing of risk with an affectionate shoulder bump but as our lives may be depending on it, we are in a boot camp of new social norms. It has all happened so quickly.
We are social creatures so it is a strange way to be living. It will make hugs more appreciated when the new day dawns and we get through this.
Oh no. Did I just touch my face?
