Entering our 2nd week of quarantine

We still can go to grocery but since we don’t have a car we have to walk to our nearest grocery store. Then we go home with our supply walking again for about a quarter of a kilometer. It’s quite tiring and nerve wracking knowing that the invisible enemy might be lurking around and you don’t know if you caught it while Walking home.

@rsa101 We are both "seniors", so we cannot, we hope that it will only be for another week, but not sure.

We saw a video clip of downtown Kathmandu and everything was closed up and it was all silent. It seemed very strange.

True it’s a first time to see our world is silenced by this virus. We myabe connected online but our outside physical world has turned silent already.

@JudyEv, better this way than be caught by an invisible assailant.

@rsa101 When we were there Kathmandu was awash with noise and vehicles.

It is difficult to be staying home continuously as i am not used to it. But it is required in larger interest of everybody.

That is true that is why I try to feel normal that it is just a regular weekend we are having or a holiday. But with the feeling confined in your place all the time like you cannot go out like you used to be is some kind of depressing. It’s as if you lose your freedom already to enjoy what you used to enjoy before.

@msdivkar yup the first week was somehow rejuvenating since we all deserve a break from our work. The 2nd week was something that is kind of troubling since it is rare that you have a break this long already.

@rsa101 You are right. It is depressing to be confined to one place.

On the contrary, I am happy that the main road of our village is empty of vehicles because even tricycles and pedicabs are banned.

Actually the first few days looked like the usual holiday were vehicles were less but when you see it this long you feel different already like this is not what you see and feel daily.

@Alexandoy I also appreciate the clean air that the absence of cars on the road made the air cleaner.

@rsa101 you are right that it is an unusual sight but I enjoy the clear and clean roads, no traffic, no pollution.

@thelme55, we can't be bored if keep self busy like cleaning, disinfecting, reading and more. If keep self busy, there's no room for boredom.

With the situation at hand I believe it as well. We have not flattened the line and the cases are still on the rise.

I know this feeling. As I have stayed at home for over two months. Of course I will still go out to buy the groceries and occasionally I will go to the office. But I still try to stay at home as more as possible.

What’s making this difficult is taking supplies as it is quite hard to do.

The feeling of beinf confined to a place not being able to go out the usual is very troubling already. It is like being imprisoned at your own home.

This shall all pass. All what people must do is obey the rules to stay at home and social- physical distancing. Our city and nearby tows look weary and abandoned.

It’s actually depressing to see a place looking abandoned and see one or two people walking around.

As many are saying it will become a new normal now. People are afraid to go out to catch that virus themselves. I just wish that a vaccine or medicine will be available soon ao we can all go back to our old normal selves again.

Your right about that. Very few cars on the road. We are still allowed to grocery shop but many other stores are closed. It does make one very anxious as everyday activities, chores and appointments are disrupted.
