Coronavirus

!!!CORONAVIRUS!!!

Just in case you've been living under a rock or just woke up from a coma, the people of the world have faced a new foe... coronavirus.
Where I live, we are asked to stay at home, do not go out unless absolutely necessary. Except for "essential" workers. We can go to work everyday.

How is everyone doing?

How are you holding up / coping?

Any thoughts, concerns, theories or conspiracies you'd like to share?

Questions you've wondered about?

Or just want somewhere to talk and have people reply?

Doing well Wes , its difficult to see the people suffer that i love but i try to keep busy with my Coronasupport Facebookgroup and i must say my hause has never been so clean and my garden never so well kept , i do not have a job at the moment so i am available to do shopping and other things for people that need it.
I do still get ill from time to time and my lungs have taken a very hard beating , in a few weeks i will have a lung photo taken to see what the damage is , but i already know there is damage because i still feel like i am trying to breathe underwater.

My mother and daughter are well and my cat is his usual annoying self and my hedgehog has come out of wintersleep and is profiding the aaaawh moments now , she is always so skinny when she comes out of ther wintersleep and is eating the cats food again hehe

My cat watches the birds eat his food too , i think in his head its instant stuffed bird ...

So for now , still alive , doing well , hoping this will not last too long , because i want to hug my daughter and mother again ....

Mrs job is ok, she already did a few days from home as normal already, and business as usual for me. We are not social so not much as changed... a bit like a holiday more then anything (despite everything going on).

Yes for us a holiday is staying at home
Gives up time to do our admin

2018 and 2019 were massive maelstrom's of hectic-ness for us here which bled into 2020. Thankfully mostly resolved as of last Friday COB, all but for one more thing which fell over due to unforeseen circumstances. It's hard to celebrate when people are dying, but death is not new... and a bottle of bubbley did get opened on Friday night as a big deal got finalized. I guess we have to live on while we can if we can do so safely. Fear is the mind killer!

This tho is an area of interest to me though, and the emergence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 is something I've been watching for awhile, and it will be interesting to see the details of COVID-19 when we have better facts about its variety of actions.

Locally the society seems to be doing pretty good with it, except a lot of blokes have increased their idiot factor on the roads and the 20-30 year olds were a bit slow on the uptake of the simple social distancing requirements.

I wonder if things will ever return to "normal"?

Normal was destroying us ...i hope it gets better and we dont get invaded by aliens haha

I completely agree that aspects of daily life was not good for us.
But I'd like to be able to go to the park or see a movie or maybe even get a hamburger. I haven't had a hamburger in SO long

The Netherlands are a smoll country , we can get them delivered at home and restaurants are giving away their reciepies for nice foods so you can try them at home

Well, during the covid-19 isolation period our yard and garden has come along nicely. LOL
I was also commisioned to make an apple-butter paddle, for the apple-butter making process. I didn't even know what one of those was or looked like. So I did some research and wood-worked away. Got it completed on time and the customer seemed very pleased, excited almost.
I also discovered Tick-Tock, I'm sure that's not how it's spelt LOL
And my truck is VERY clean!

While doing all these things I have had several thoughts that I want to share with everyone but unfortunately I have not had the time to sit and write them all down. Organize them and get them in a format that would be good for other people to have any idea what I'm talking about. I just hope I can get to them before I forget them!

How is everyone else doing?

Seeing the circumstances good , its annoying we have to deal with dumb selfish people here but that is the same everywhere in the world , my garden looks great , my house is clean , my voluntary work is going well and i might have a job soon for a few hours a week , so keeping busy and getting back to normal slowly ...very slowly

Restaurants open here at june 1st , but i will not be attending untill i feel safe again. Even in park and forest people dont keep distance so i dont believe they will in a restaurant, I am slowly having friends over for dinner , never more than 2 and my daughter stays over regularly just like my mother , we have a very small circle now , but that is ok ...Things will get a lot worse before they get better here Patience is of the essence

Stay Healthy !
