Good day friends Today I went to town to buy food. I have noticed that more and more people are wearing masks on the street. This is a small town, but there are more and more patients every day. Today we had over 3,500 new cases and 21 deaths. Tomorrow, the crisis headquarters will have a meeting and they may introduce new measures, but I don't think they will introduce anything special. Is the situation better in your country? Are you in quarantine? Are you scared?

It is still going up here. Sad to say that when you do go out somewhere here you see at least 1/3 of the people not wearing a mask. I think as long as this is the case, the virus will continue going up. We are no longer in quarantine. We only go out when we have to. I think now it is up to using your common sense and apparently a lot of folks have none!

@Nevena83 Well the servers and other people working there do wear masks. And you should be sitting with people in your household who you know are safe. Social distancing is done here and tables are all set 6ft or or apart so that is about as safe as it gets. Now you have to be responsible for sanitizing your hands and especially if you visit the restrooms.

@kareng Distance must be maintained here as well, but that does not apply when it comes to nightclubs.

A lot of people still don't wear masks here, but I honestly don't see the point, because people don't wear masks in a restaurant, the same in cafes, because they drink and eat.

Our country is out of control thanks to the current president, who thinks it's rounding the curve. My state is climbing, too, in the number of cases and my former school system shut down in another town. There are 14 people with the virus in my town last check. Stay safe.

I just commented here on how I think America and Serbia are behaving very similarly now.At the beginning of the pandemic, we introduced curfew on 300 patients, and now we do not have any stricter measures on 10 times more.

I can't say it's better because the test was done by only a small part of the population here. Will be quarantined if infected with the virus.

More than 1,500,000 people have been tested here since the beginning of the pandemic, but sometimes I think that in the end we will all be infected.

Here in DC there is an ordinance to wear a mask in public. Now I see most people are complying. Our cases are going back down. Once the cases go down we have to continue wearing the mask until we tramp it out

@Nevena83 Initially it does but it is putting off the inevitable. It is a delaying tactic to slow the spread until a vaccine can be found that is safe and effective.

We are virtually virus-free. The one state that was badly affected hasn't had cases now for about 10 days. The only positive cases are people coming in from overseas and they are going straight into quarantine.

@Nevena83 Our own state went into lockdown at the very beginning of the pandemic. No-one was allowed in from our eastern states and anyone coming in by air went straight into quarantine. Regions were locked down until numbers were very low then gradually opened up again. We can mostly go where we like now. Social distancing is strongly encouraged and mostly enforced. The lockdowns have been very effective.

@JudyEv That's a really good tactic. I don’t think my state wants a lock, I don’t know why, and the number is growing every day.

I haven't really gone anywhere since this whole thing started since I am high risk. One friend who is a nurse got covid but thankfully recovered. Today my mom called to inform me that my brother has gotten it. His daughter and wife just got tested. I don't know what the results are for them are yet. Hopefully they don't have it.

@Nevena83 Sometimes I am, yes. My anxiety can take hold from time to time. I worry about it somehow managing to make its way to me. I certainly wouldn't survive it if it did. I worry about my husband getting it as well since he is an essential worker. But something that I need to focus on when I feel that way is the fact that I am healthy at the moment as well as my husband. Right now there is still hope. Letting fear grip me all the time doesn't help anything, and in the end it is bad for my health in the long term. Taking every precaution is important, but no guarantee as my brother has shown me. The most I can do and perhaps the best thing is focus on the here and now and try to find little joys and pleasures that comfort me when my anxiety and fear returns and recognize that there are things I have no control over. I have made it this far and I like the odds that I will make it tomorrow and even the next day.
