In reply to the discussion: Have you been isolating? [View all]csziggy
(34,133 posts)26. I can't really - we're adding to the house and there are workers here everyday
I stay at a distance from the workers - don't need to provide extra exposure either way. My fear is that the work will stopped, either because all non-essential stuff will be stopped or because we can't get needed supplies. This week they are getting the roof finished and today they put most of the windows in (three had damage to the glass...).
I've been grocery shopping twice, so once a week. Lowes & Home Depot, I have shopped online - in fact I just got some things for the addition delivered by UPS today. That would have happened, virus or not, since these are items not carried in the stores.
My husband is going in tomorrow and I have some errands for him to run, so I probably will not go shopping myself this week.

Yeah, me too. I've been isolating for years, and like staying home on my land.

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

It helps being mainly introverted in the first place. And living in the woods.

Isolated for sure. When I have to go to the store, I wear a mask and gloves, then spray everything

Yep. Except to leave the house on foot for exercise each morning, we've not gone anywhere

Last time I drove anywhere was mid-December, but that's normal for me. ...

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