What are we on, day 70 billion of quarantine? It's late, I've had a Shiner and it's time for quarantine Kathryn to share a few thoughts. I think, by now, many of us have felt all the feelings: disbelief, exhaustion, frustration, some semblance of peace, disillusionment, joy, and everything in between.
