What Are You Doing In Quarantine?

[rach3975]

Here in Virginia we have an evening curfew, gatherings are limited to 10 people beginning today (which means most sports and activities are canceled), and there are some other restrictions. It's not enough and our cases keep rising. Our schools were finally starting to reopen in October, and we had the dates when my kids would be able to go back. All that has reversed again, and we have no idea when they'll be able to move forward with re-opening. My kids have been out of school since March and I've been essentially out of work (greatly reduced hours) because the preschool I teach at can't open. There are a lot of us following all of the recommendations, but there are too many people who feel that as long as it's legal they can do it even if it's not recommended. So unless much stronger government regulations go into effect, we're screwed. I'm so frustrated.

We lost a family member last week to COVID. Many others I know have been sick but recovered. Our province has restrictions of no indoor or outdoor gatherings, masks are required everywhere. There is limited capacity in the stores and many places are shut down. I think they shut down indoor restaurant seating (they were open with limited capacity last month). Our numbers keep climbing so we will be lockdown until at least mid to late January.

I only go out to the grocery store and pet store. Jen and Darrell go to work but follow strict sanitizing and social distancing. We stay home and binge watch shows and eat (I gained 10 lbs during the pandemic...ugh).

I am so sorry about your family member. :wub:

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm in Alberta, and we just entered another lockdown. They cancelled Christmas with the rule of not being allowed in other people's houses, and zero indoor or outdoor gatherings. Stores can operate at 15% people capacity, many services shut down, restaurants, etc. K-6 can go to school, 7-12 is online. Jan 4-8th all grades are online, hoping to return on Jan. 11. Our province has had the worst number of cases in Canada (despite not having the highest population!), so something definitely needs to be done!! They mandated that all people that can work from home SHALL do so (instead of SHOULD do so).

Gosh it sounds like all your countries are doing much more than the UK! We are in tiers but people just aren't doing their bit and cases are rising in the South and London is going onto a higher tier tomorrow. I don't think we should be allowed to gather for Christmas it's a ridiculous idea to lift the restrictions for a few days because it will mean another lockdown for us I'm sure. I don't go out apart from walking my dogs locally because I'm high risk and it is hard but I want this virus gone. We started the vaccine last week but it's going to take such a long time and we have seen a different strain emerge already. Keep safe everyone.
