But still going out. 3 - Going out as needed, mostly working from home, still seeing friends and family. 4 - Very limited, only going out when unavoidable. Careful contact with people 5 - Full lockdown. No one in or out. 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead ★ Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share #510 Posted March 28, 2020 I'm going out tomorrow or Sunday in the car with the wife. We are going to venture into Costco to buy my dad some food items and drop it off at the AFH. They also want to get paid so I'll be dropping off a check. Plus we need to pick up the bills at his house so I got to deal with my sister(s) one way or another. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted March 28, 2020 Share #511 Posted March 28, 2020 Between 3 & 4. I'm not normally a gadfly so It's mostly business as normal. I'm not doing anything like shopping for anything except groceries. Everything is closed down though. I miss going to Panera Bread Co. for bagel and coffee. I am working outside with others a bit but we are limiting close proximity where possible. If you can get some fresh air in your lungs, I think that would be good. Maybe even get some aerobic exercise outside. Cough that stuff out of there and keep your system in active mode. I've been spraying my sinuses with saline rinse a few times a day, flush that stuff out of there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted March 28, 2020 Share #512 Posted March 28, 2020 I am at 4. I've been going out for food, meds and post office. I also walk Lucy and take my bike out. While walking, everyone maintains a substantial distance, like 10 to 20 feet. There is more space between people when I am on my bike. One nice thing about stay at home orders is the roads are empty so riding is great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have family in Alberta right now. I hear all the news from loved ones in Vancouver and Toronto. I might end up going 2 for a short while, if I take a flight in Vancouver in a few wks.

Prophet Zacharia Posted March 28, 2020 Share #546 Posted March 28, 2020 I’m watching the news currently, and it seems that Chicago is now panicked about rising infection rates, after not heading social distancing particularly well. WTF did they expect? Am I missing any other big Covid news today? I’m a little freaked out by my company’s sudden tightening of procedures, I’m not sure if something has changed with infection rates or if it’s just an abundance of caution.

I left the house for a short time this afternoon to pick up some beer from our local brewery. I ordered on the phone and paid by cc. I picked up curbside. Drove home and scopes out latest activity. Activity at groceries seems less than normal. Many retail establishments closed I did not expect. I was surprised at how many cars were in the Menard’s parking lot. Oh and gas is down 10 cents/gallon since Wednesday. Our county reported its first 2 Covid-19 cases yesterday. 1 of them died last night. The governor ordered tighter restrictions on restaurants here. They were allowing up to 10 people in at 1 time. Now takeout only and bars are closed if they don’t have food for takeout. One of the leading restaurateurs in our city is a friend and has been doing Facebook live a few times each day. The strain is taking a toll. He about broke down a few times today especially when worrying about how to take care of his staff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
