That's what they want us to do. Stay home. Just 3 more weeks. Honest!
Yeah, right. Look at the restrictions, the picture might just be legible. That's what a local police officer will have to tell him or her if he or she will let you pass, or turn you around to go back to where you came from.
Well, perhaps they have a point: Catch this thing, you could die. The ultimate Russian Roulette game, just going to buy groceries.
I dunno. It's enough to make a body sick...

I accepted Walmart's offer to stay home for two weeks. Then I took two weeks off for a stay-cation. I still have one week left before I go back to work.
With the spread of Covid 19 here in the US, I want to avoid it as much as I possibly can!
How are you and your family doing, pgn?

@pgntwo Yeah, I guess that many people in close confines might get on each others nerves a bit more than Pretty and I do. *shake my head* We just go to our bedrooms... we can't even hear each other if one of our doors is closed. 
I tried to get her attention one day and finally ended up knocking because she couldn't hear me yelling her name! 
The walls in this house are thick enough they even block phone signals and Wi-Fi. (I took my tablet outside to sit in a chair on our front porch and couldn't get a signal there.)

@DaddyEvil It's the forced joining of different routines, and different tastes in food, habits and operating procedures... Tempers flare, stomping happens, a door or two slams... Then silence for a couple of hours. The psychologists would get many a paper on social interaction, if they were looking this way

Apart from threatening to kill each other (waddya expect with 6 forced into each other's company 24x7 for weeks on end?), all in reasonably fine fettle, thanks, @DaddyEvil.

I was in the town centre today. Many shops were closed but strangely, an ice-cream parlour was open (selling ice-cream through a window) whereas a shop selling fish was closed. I think that fish which can be turned into a meal is more important than ice-cream. The mind boggles.

The rules are very tight here, we are on total lockdown for more than a month now and the longer it extends the stricter it becomes with regards to our movement. I had accepted it already as a necessity to control the virus, it's those who don't follow that pisses me more.

Here, it is still 2 more weeks. I feel very constricted already. We need a quarantine pass when we go out of the house. It is like being in Wuhan City huh.

@pgntwo same here, our lockdown is 6 weeks and we have gone past 4 already so we have about 2 more weeks.

They shut down non-essential businesses here, so going out to buy gardening or painting equipment is not allowed. If you have all the bits you need, nothing prevents you working in your own garden. Waste collection is being maintained, so garden waste is collected fortnightly.

Here the authorities change the times so what used to be 2 weeks can turn into 2 months or 2 years..
