Prince Edward Island, Canada. The nice thing about an island is it's easy to shut off incoming traffic. Only three ways in. The 9 mile long bridge, the ferry, or the airport. All shut down to the public now.

I'm fine, but my mother is in the hospital with that virus. She's in Europe.

Jim, lockdown starting Monday night.

I was in my town picking up my medical subscription that morning before Boris did his evening broadcast.

Life here not good, over 700 cases in Hertfordshire which means you can say 1000 easy with the unreported cases. Watford General Hospital has closed its doors, no new cases what so ever! Lister Hospital next nearest some 10 miles or more up the road. Thanks to bloody governments over the years turning most of the Hospitals around here into clinics.

Supermarkets range from half full to two thirds, big shortage of toilet rolls, soap, pain killers. Most people obeying the rules apart from the bleeding heart liberals going around saying..."its my right i can do what i like"

Taking care of my 80+ year old parents through this time. Work is slow but will have a job when this is all over. Trying to hit something using the Wolf Pack TDC in the mean time....

Just flew back into Phoenix from Little Rock, AR. Boy the airports are empty, it was quiet, peaceful and by the far the best travel experience of my life! This morning I've got an itch in my throat but nothing more water and a couple of doc's horse pills that he keeps in a pez dispenser can't fix.

Coming to you from Tupelo, Mississipi! (Texas is my native state)

We are under a “shelter-in-place” order, which most people are openly ignoring. Along with people bringing small children and babies to the store I work at, most people don't even wear masks or gloves. Apparently, quarantine for these people just means have smaller house parties. The shelves at the store I work at are bare in some spots and full in others. Lowes is incredibly busy along with bargain outlets.

I live in Portland, Oregon. It's not too bad here, everyone's staying inside, and my job has been closed for 3 weeks, but the weather's finally turning nice for a change, and the stores are starting to recover from the panic shopping.

Tracer · 04-06-20, 01:59 PM

We’re in Scotland. I’ve been on 3 weeks now not working after company closed for the virus (it’s a gas training company) every shop allows so many in and the rest queue outside with 2 metre spacing. Schools all closed, airports closed, buses running minimally + trains taken over by the government only for key workers. All pubs,clubs, libraries, shops not selling food, football. Pretty much a ghost city. Allowed out for 1hr per day, shop once per day and that’s about it.

Me and my wife are okay as we are gamers. Nearly 1,000 games to play on our machines. We holiday in quiet areas, usually without wi-fi. So self isolation is second nature to us!
Alls well

wild bill · 04-06-20, 02:37 PM

We are on quarantine. Streets are deserted. most businesses are closed except for essential services. anything else is closed. people only appear when it is time to resupply with groceries. lots of binge netflix. I snorkel for groceries every 72 hours or so. otherwise I'm running silent in my living room . "Chief of the boat on the 1 MC DIVE, DIVE . . .

yelrom treblig · 04-07-20, 04:44 AM

All doing well here, locked down with all hatches fast, very sunny Widnes just East of Liverpool, good to hear no S.O.S. keep taking the tablets as Moses said.

Kebster · 04-07-20, 05:03 AM

Here in southern part in Finland everything is good. They've quarantined the greater Capital area from other parts of Finland, no entry or exit without valid cause (like trip to work and back). Situation is turning towards better around here, I think.

Propnut17 · 04-07-20, 05:25 AM

Hi, from the East Coast of South Africa. Today is day-12 of a strict 21-day lock down. No international air travel. No local or regional air travel. All inter-provincial road travel banned. Road blocks on all national highways to enforce the ban. So nobody can move about and we are all requested to stay indoors. All schools and universities closed as well.

Now for the good news out of a population of 55 million only (as of today) 1686 CV cases and 12 deaths in the country.

Now more bad news. All alcohol outlets closed from day 1, so no alcohol drinks available, unless you managed to stock up. Even worse, no cigarette or tobacco to be sold, so all those outlets also closed. Today I read that they have also closed all mobile phone outlets/shops. No walking about or jogging or even walking your dog allowed.

Other than that as long as you practice "social distancing" you may go to the pharmacy/drug store for chronic medicine. Supermarkets to only allow the sale of essential goods. You may go to these places, but should you be stopped in a roadblock, better have all your ducks in a row. And, if travelling in a 4-seater vehicle, only the driver in front and single passenger in rear of vehicle permitted. Petrol stations have remained open, but customers are few.

Thank goodness they have not banned the internet, so we can at least Skype the grandchildren and relieve stress by Silently Hunting. When I retired I never thought that life after working could be so hectic.

gpawood · 04-15-20, 10:43 AM

Doing just fine here in Oklahoma, keeping away from town as much as possible. Have two daughters and five grandkids that moved in with us until this blows over. It's been so much fun having the grandkids here and spending quality time with them, I love it. Hope everyone stays safe, we'll get through this together, God Bless,,,,
