Eric Matheny: One Year in and it’s only Day 8 of 15 to Slow the Spread of WuFlu

Does anyone else remember when we were told that it was only going to be 15 days to slow the spread? I’m not going to lie it was a super weird experience for myself. Last March I was way sicker than I ever remember being for a long time in my life. Now, I have no idea if it was Wu-Flu or not, and I never went in to get tested because the virus was still only going on in the coasts as well as in China. My wife was equally as ill the week before me, and sure enough, as soon as she got better I got hit with whatever it was like a ton of bricks. As soon as I started coughing my wife threw me in our spare bedroom where I slept for what seemed like an eternity, sleeping from sun up to sun down for almost a solid two weeks. Then the stupid happened, you know our sound guy Huey? Well, he texted me while I was starting to recover asking me if I needed anything from the store because they are getting absolutely wiped out. As I drove his way to the store, I got a phone call from my boss at the time stating that I’ll be working from home till this all blows over. I just woke up in a nightmare, “What in the world is going on?!” I got to the store and it was absolutely packed, I loaded up with as many dried goods and meat that I could fit in my pantry and freezer. All the toilet paper was practically gone, It was like I woke up to some sort of third world country where the bread lines ran out of bread.
