[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7949553, member: 20564"] I'm in New Jersey in the US. They closed schools at the start of last week, been pushing social distancing, and closed all non-essential businesses as of this past Saturday. New York, about 20 miles away, has the most testing so the most cases, but also the most deaths. My state is #2 in terms of cases, but we've had a lot less testing than NY so that number is likely low. We are the most densely populated state in the US, which is not a good omen. Except for far too many store trips because the hoarders cleaned out toilet paper everywhere for a couple of weeks, we've been isolating here. All social events have been cancelled or moved online. I bought a Zoom subscription for high quality video conferencing (we were generating stress with the free options out there, and no one needs more stress). I'm surprised how just randomly chatting with people over video is a respite from the isolation - it has built up more than I realized, and talking to others helps keep that in check. My wife is in multiple risk groups if she does get it, and she hasn't been sleeping so she's worn down which has traditionally left her more open to catch something. I'm medium-grade anxious all the time right now. My kids are happy with school-from-home, especially since they shifted the time so it starts 2 hours later then physical school would. There's been several studies how getting up early for school is a bad thing for teens, and I now have some anecdotal evidence I could add to support that. There's been growing political noise about "opening up the country" by Easter so as not to tank the economy, which makes no sense to me from what I am reading abroad about containing the virus and dampening the curve. The scariest comment I saw about that was that those at high risk are the least productive and most expensive to maintain members of society, as if rationalizing moving away from policies protecting the people was a reasonable move. Another was that grandparents should be willing to accept risks to preserve the economy of the country for their grandchildren. Anyway, so far we don't believe we're infected, and we've been likely isolated for long enough for the incubation period (median 11.5 days) to have flipped to showing symptoms if we were. Hunkered down for the long haul. Hopefully. [/QUOTE]
