Lock Down Thirty Eighth Day

The 38th day. Sunny, but the wind was cold, so decided to stay home, also because had no valid motive to go out.

The masks we ordered a month ago didn't arrive, instead we got an email informed us that the payment has been refunded to us. They waited till the last minute to inform us that the masks were not arriving.



Whole day had been receiving news, updates, informations about the virus, about the condition of the hospital....
Was feeling a bit overwhelmed with all these informations, especially many of them I couldn't even know if they are true or they are fabricated, or modified.



They are all type of informations, news all over the media, it has became difficult even to tell what is true and what is fake.



Anyway, nowadays, news are like making a photo, is subjective, is fabricable, is modifiable.
To take a photo we use zoom, wide angle, panning, shoot from the top, from the bottom, adjust the contrast, white balance, modify a hell lot of thing during post production to achieve the image we want.  Finally, the image we made doesn't even look exactly like the actual scene.

I am afraid many of these news have been cut, trimmed, modified to suit each one's needs and believe, rather than the whole truth.
It is important therefore to receive these news objectively and cautiously, but it is however easier said than done.

That makes sense.

Would bandanas be a suitable alternative?
