In reply to the discussion: Have you been isolating? [View all]Meowmee
(5,164 posts)9. Yes
I have not gone out since last Friday. I am sick. But trips out will be very limited now and only for food and emergencies. I and my dad are high risk and we are in the epicenter
I have lots to do at home, we are starting online teaching next week and there is a lot to learn, I am not sure if it will work etc. tg there is phone and video help until midnight all the time.
I am exhausted and very stressed out as are we all, I am sure. Just wishing I had listened to my family and moved back to Canada a long time ago. Actually I wish we had never come here now😹

Yes, mostly. I quit going to Target and Home Depot and just about anywhere.

I have been in since 3/15. I went out 3/18 to hit pharmacy and do the grocery shopping.

Walked four miles last night to check my P. O. Box. Didn't come within ten feet of anyone.
