#77 - Don't Like Some Languages

Words

In the past 3 months, so many new words and terms have become a part of my vocabulary. This new Pandemic Language is not my favorite, but I tried to make it fun. I thought I could make up a game with pandemic words. I looked on line for ideas.

Melania's Word Search
​

I found this little ditty on the internet. It's a White House Word Search, that Melania created a couple months ago. It was meant to offer up some family fun time. Hmmm? I wonder if she's made any new ones, lately. I don't know why this cracks me up.

Pandemic Word Search

Here is a list of words that could be used for a more up to date word search. Very few of these words and phrases were ever spoken by me, before 2020.
​

   Coronavirus
   Novel Coronavirus
   Covid-19
   CDC
   PPE
   WHO
   N95 masks 
   ventilators
   test kits
   nasal swab
   community spread
   self-quarantine
​

mitigation
rate of infection
flatten the curve
nonessential
abundance of caution
Kawasaki disease
unprecedented
new  normal
contagion
social distancing
lockdown
stay at home
​

I don't think I'll bother putting these into a word search, right now.

Better Language

I think I'll avoid pandemic talk and focus on Italian, instead.

I bought some Italian language CDs in February, to prep for our Italy trip in October. Chances are pretty good, that our trip will not happen. But just in case, I might do a little Italian lesson today.

Hey, I just noticed the word ESSENTIAL on this booklet!  Maybe our trip will be essential too!
