Many Odd Firsts
My family is just in its beginning stages and with the onset of the covid-19 pandemic some of our firsts have been made a bit strange to experience. Whether it was my daughter's first haircut, her first ride in a go-cart, or getting our first doggy Lucille, we have had to make accommodations in order to protect ourselves and the people around us. In some of these instances it has been extremely difficult because we have no clue how someone is doing any longer. Gauging how someone is feeling in the midst of their first time trying something isn't very easy any longer, especially if it is extremely loud. Getting a veterinarian appointment isn't the easiest thing to do just as waiting for salons to reopen wasn't either.

America First, Americans Last
I responded to our local hospital's call for donations for PPE and donated 10 N95 construction masks sitting in my garage. The same day I donated those masks I heard media reports of American companies selling millions of masks per day to be shipped abroad. It tells me that capitalism persists in this pandemic and that President Trump prioritizes the profits of some American companies over the safety of our health care workers. This reveals America First as a hypocrisy. Hence, I labeled my piece "America First, Americans Last".
