As for your friends flu/virus....I completely understand. My husband had what we were pretty sure was the regular flu at the beginning of March. I didn't catch it from him, which made sense since I had had a flu shot back in October. Then when all this coronavirus shit got serious and we started staying home together (and he was still recovering) I started to get sick. Of course I was super paranoid and just sure that I had caught Covid-19, but a week later and I'm much better and it looks like it was either just a mild flu or a regular cold. I'm sure that's all that's going on with you, too. Pollen is bad in SC right now and everyone with allergies (me included) is paranoid. All this is to say: I understand. We're all in this together. Hang in there and surely most of us will come out the other side unscathed. We ust have to keep the faith and continue washing hands and taking sensible precautions.

He lives alone and used to go out everyday. It's hard for him. I'm his only child but luckily we live close to each other. I'm only going shopping once a fortnight, for us and dad and to collect prescription.<br /><br />It really is best we stay home even though it's hard.<br /><br />I try to think, "I'm not trapped at home, I'm safe at home."<br /><br />Take care, keep blogging. It's good to talk.

Some tried this past weekend and the Police turned away 93 cars. The last ferry boat left for the Magdalene Island and there are no ferries to N.S. Every night we get the PEI Premier talking to Islanders and we also get the Chief Medical Officer informing people how we are doing. These news briefings take on an air of a family discussion amongst a close knit group. Tonight the Premier Dennis King was angry at some Islanders for not obeying the self-Isolation rule 14 days and some not practicing social distancing. So now you get caught and the fine can be anywhere from $1000 to $10K. No one can visit relatives in Hospitals or seniors home, unless they are dying and then only 1 person can be present. We only have 18 cases so far and all are at home, one has recovered. So we have been lucky but I am afraid it is going to get much worse before it gets better. But we have to have hope, no point in feeling down. The Sun will come out tomorrow as they sing in the song. Take care Steven. larrymuffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137517764919401795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-54097400945857457112020-03-30T20:34:05.148-04:002020-03-30T20:34:05.148-04:00I missed your musings, Steven.

I know it was a tough decision to have them lock her in her room, but as you said, it’s best for all involved. <br /><br />And Mr. X gets sick too? When it rains, it pours. I’m glad he’s on the mend. <br /><br />Keep the sunshine in your day. It will all get better.

It’s simple: we make the sacrifice for them. We’ll have time to visit them one the curve is flat.<br /><br />And blogging is now more essential than ever. Really.

Sounds like an allergic reaction to you, in my opinion :) That's the way things go with you Mr. Bean. I'm not being facetious (I even spelled it right) when I say, try not to dwell on the crisis. Do not molest the toilet paper, it is apparently more important during a virus that effects the lungs than during the flu. I feel for your mom but it is safer for her and everyone else. Stupid people are going to be stupid and it is unfair to everybody else. If we dwell on the things we can't change, we only get more depressed. Read upbeat blog posts, like Maddie's "What makes you happy?". Music, music, music! Wash your hands. Sing to them as you do (I don't know why).

No shoes inside as it can be on the bottom of your shoes. I wear a mask and gloves when I have to go out. But when you've done everything and you still get it, it is just your time.<br /><br />We are a hot spot of South Florida. 20 cases within 3/4 mile from us (in a condo) as of last Wednesday. They have stopped giving reports. I think the lockdown for us and Miami has been extended to the end of May, so I read. But these days you can't believe everything you read.<br /><br />Perhaps Mr X should make a country retreat at your place.
