MyLot is Safe!

We are not being effected by it yetno cases found up here. I agree mylot is safe I will be here for sure.

You're smart not to take any unnecessary chances Dianne. Here things are closing down...schools, libraries, bars, restaurants etc. Pretty soon there won't be anywhere to go even if we wanted. Since i'm pretty much a homebody anyway it hasn't affected me yet.

I spent the entire day today shutting down all my facilities at work. Our city leaders finally decided it was time. But of course, they waited until half the day was over, so I had to go around kicking people out of my pools so I could shut down. I was told I still have to report to work every day, but I'm wondering why. I'm not going to have anything to do for the next 2-3 weeks since everything is shut down. I love your ocean picture. If I squint hard enough, I think I can see the Bahamas off in the distance.

Yes, our dinner out was cancelled tonight because the restaurants have been ordered closed by our Governor Mike DeWine. I voted by absentee ballot. My husband will go out and vote tomorrow.

This is a good safe place for all to visit for sure.

All bars, restaurants, public meeting areas,(rec center, seniors center, libraries) have closed their doors until further notice. Grocery stores have been dealing with runs on TP and cleaning supplies. We went there yesterday, food seems to be restocked though there were a few empty shelves, (very few). My wife and I are both retired and need not work, that is one good thing here right now. I am feeling sorry for all those who work or starve. Especially those in food services. It is true the restaurants can still sell food for taking out, that does nothing for the serving staff who will be out of a job and out of pay all too soon. Still, right now, we have beautiful weather, the whales are swimming by in their northern migration. flowers are starting to bloom and spring looks like it is ready to pop. My wife and I are taking advantage of walks on the beach, hikes in the woods, and exploring places we have never been. So there are some positives here.

I think it is filling my mind with too much worry. I just read a scientific explanation of why it is a worse virus than the flu and it just filled me with doom. Places are closing as preventative measures and it certainly makes us gloomy.

It's comforting to know that we can all be here safely on myLot - a meet up of friends around the world. I'll try to be here when I can. I've been busy the past few days getting ready for this "social distancing" - including making sure my parents have everything they need too. Schools closed, bars and restaurants and public places - I think this will be the case all around the nation (if not the world). Please take care out there and we shall keep in touch here!!

Not all is shut down here, thank goodness.

MyLot is a nice place to be usually and will probably be even more.

I usually don't go out much anyway so it hadn't affected me. But, we are worried that if there is a total shut down, it could affect us moving.

You are wise and I would cancel the hair appointment too. You never know who else will be in the salon. Look after yourself and be safe!

Better safe than sorry.

Yes our social activities are limited.

The lesson that this pandemic has taught us is really staying grounded and be close to family and love ones as our time with family is already eaten up by enjoying too much what our external world has to offer that we tend to neglect what we have at home. Now we are grounded from home in the meantime something I did not expect to happen but appreciated that there are things worth looking at home than outside. Mylot let us get this perspective a bit different by sharing to our friends outside of the confines of our physical homes that is safe from the virus attention.

I am doing what I always do working and writing. Actually I need to get out a bit and will at the end of the week. I have not seen the beach it seems in ages and the weather is getting really nice. Stay safe and do be careful b ut I think you can venture out just a bit

I'm happy your area is still unaffected … but I do think it's wise to avoid gatherings, as you are doing.

There seems to be a very good vacancy right now in some university (re: my field of work), but I can't apply for it - because of covid-19. I keep consoling myself that health is more important. (I work casual, so I still have other workplaces to go to - when I am in the mood !)

Glad you are able to stay inside safe Sounds like you have been pretty relaxed (: So far here alot of places are closing and people are starting to not have work and kids are getting extended days to their spring break. As of now I am still attending my client at her house

we are all work from home til the end of March now.
