Hello from self quarantine!
Mar. 18th, 2020 01:35 pmWe are in our 3rd week of quarantine here, and still fine. Starting to run low on TP (which we had gotten before the crazy panic buying) but hopefully stores will get more soon? I pop out for groceries about twice a week and always look, but the aisles are bare still, which is a bit insane.
We have the usual homeschool routine going and I'm thankful for the extra online resources popping up since I'm thinking this is going to go longer than we had originally expected. The kids play together better than they used to anyway, especially when they are on the same game and on iPads side by side, so we aren't going nuts yet. We took them on a hike a few days ago, and otherwise keep our outside time to playing jumprope in the apartment courtyard. Husband still has work, although they'll be cutting back on flights as of next month. People keep asking if we worry about him getting infected, but the cockpit actually has a different airsource than the cabin/passengers (for safety/terrorism reasons) and he doesn't come into direct contact with anybody but the other pilot anyway. So not terribly worried?
Japanese infection numbers are plateauing, but that may still be due to undertesting. Still, Japanese are very good at listening to directions and acting for the well being of the group, and since women and children have been mostly at home for the last couple of weeks, hopefully the spread has actually slowed.
It's scary watching this pandemic roll into the relatively disconnected part of Canada I'm from, but nowhere is actually disconnected nowadays, is it? From what I can tell, my family's battened down the hatches. My mom works with mostly elderly, and she's taken ten days off to help with the social distancing measures.
So I'm trying to just stiff upper lip this all and continuing with March Meta Matters and my Batcat fic. I've earmarked five more pieces to clean up and re-post and I'll be writing one original meta post by month's end. My word count for March is probably going to be impressive anyway! :D
Hope you are all doing okay, wherever you are!
