Coronavirus

Gov. Phil Scott just ordered a "stay home. stay safe." order which means only essential travel and work (medicine/food) for Vermonters until April 15
 
Everyone I know with sense is sheltering in place. We're self-quarantining. Many of my friends in the service industry have lost their jobs. I'm trying to help as many people as I can make 'struggle money' in the interim (I coach social media management) but for many people, they're starting up too soon and it's not like people become a household name overnight.

I've had to deal with the effect of self-quarantining for a while due to my illness, but people are rightfully panicking.

The veterinarians in my area have started implementing curbside service due to the virus. I had to take my dog in yesterday for his annual exam, vaccinations and heartworm check. They had us stay in our car in the parking lot and call them to let them know we'd arrived. Then, a vet tech came out wearing gloves and a mask to give us the sign-in paperwork and a questionnaire about the reason for our visit. The vet tech then took our dog inside while we waited outside and the vet called us to discuss anything that came up. Then, the vet tech brought our dog back out to us and we called the receptionist to pay by credit card.

It was a very traumatic experience for my dog who has separation anxiety but we got through it. I was just glad the vet was still willing and able to see him.
 
That's a fairly accurate video. We've been out of toilet paper locally for weeks now.
 
Imagine if this doesn’t get any better during the Summer.... I don’t want to go through another painful Winter just to experience a good Summer.
 
I really hate having to miss out on my friend's birthdays, I usually get them a card and it's not that easy now. This year I want to make my time count and this is just ruining everything. International Baccalaureate exams have been cancelled worldwide however and that's kind of a relief. I don't know what will happen, but my community will get through this together.
 
Everybody in my house has been sent home from work, so we're basically self isolating at this point. We've literally just moved into our new house last night though, so we've plenty to get on with. If anything, I like this, thanks virus, I needed the time off.

On another note, now the government has actually done something, my trip to ASDA was the most pleasant one in weeks. I could actually buy things I wanted without rushing.
 
17 positives just in my town, as of today. If those 17 infected say, 10 people each, were about to be slammed. Wish us healthcare workers luck, and stay home if you’re not infected. <3
 
wow its effecting more males than females. All of sudden that one episode from Justice League comes to mind lol
 
my parents keep going outside, and even worse, are hoarding alcohol. it frustrated me because we don't need 20 bottles of it. other people could’ve used it, yk? :-( sigh
 
I work in a non profit healthcare clinic in WI. We've kinda set aside one of our clinics specifically for symptomatic folks at this time and have shut down all dental services barring emergency dental work. Pretty sure the death count in my county is at 7 at this time and we've been seeing increases in confirmed cases grow exponentially and are at 543 cases statewide with about 72 in our county.

It's interesting being kind of in the loop working in a clinic but also my position as a registrar has become pretty non-essential so I'll have a lot of New Horizons in my near future.

Just follow CDC guidelines and take quarantine seriously!

I've definitely been hoarding alcohol though ~whoops~
 
My state is over 1000 cases. My county in particular is on lockdown - essential workers have been given papers stating who they are and what they do for a living in case they get pulled over. Meanwhile half the state has taken a 'whatevah I do what I want' attitude and are proud of it. I see at least another 1000 cases in our future...
 
schools in Ontario have pushed the closing date further. it was originally supposed to reopen on April 6th.

i never thought i'd be saying this... but let ME GO BACK TO SCHOOOOOOOOLLLLL!
 
it's made it's way to my county now. my school is closed for the semester & the graduation ceremony has been canceled. i'm agitated staying at home so much, but it's for the best i suppose.

There’s around 30 cases in my city now and one death, but they were an older person with underlying health issues. My little cousin had a 104 fever as of yesterday night and they had him around my 80 year old grandma a few days ago so that’s... worrying.

They said it was an “upper respiratory infection” but idk how they can definitely say it’s not covid 19 without a freaking TEST.
