How's everyone doing during these "isolated" times?

yes pretty much... able to go out and be in the garden etc..we've done a lot this past few days.. I've still got some underlying conditions, but he's pretty much back to normal as is his colleague who got it at the same time, and had almost identical symptoms... both of them were very seriously poorly
another colleagues' father has just passed from it...and my daughter's closest friend's husband died the day before yesterday from catching it while in hospital for something totally unrelated, ( he went in to have some surgery on a limb) he was a very healthy man, who owned several businesses in which he was very active in all of them .. his wife is absolutely broken...

sorry folks I just re-read this, and it sounds like where we live here in the countryside is rife with Covid-19...when in fact .. where we live was just hubs and me who have contracted it...(of anyone we know)... O/h's colleague who had it and the same time as each other , lives 2 hours from here , the father of another colleague who died from it last week lived in Wales , and my daughter's friends' husband who died in hospital after contracting it when in for a limb surgery lived 2 counties from us...

it is important to keep to a routine, shower and get dressed every day!
I am alone except for my cat Callie; and believe me she expects to be

fed, have a clean litter box, and lots of cuddles.It is important to keep in to
with family and friends. It is important to eat properly , not fill up on snacks
and candy bars!
Keep safe and Happy Easter.

Same here. I have pets too, and they are used to a routine. Any delay and they are banging on the doors of their over-night cages demanding to be let out.

There seem to be pockets of it around the country. The cities have the largest number of cases, as you might expect. Where I am, there are only a few cases, but we mustn't drop our vigilance. We have traffic passing through and they are the ones most likely to spread it from one place to another.

Finally reaching the bottom of my food supply. I did try ordering online once, was not happy with the results. Half of the order didn't appear, and other items had "substitutions" for what I wanted. Not sure whether this is because Safeway is really out of everything, or if I got a not-too-good shopper.

Today's paper has an article about how grocery workers are terrified, they desperately need their jobs but feel they are in the front lines, and many of them have young children at home. So I imagine the people who work stocking the shelves, etc. are getting to be fewer and fewer. It's a domino effect.

Debating between ordering online again, with who knows what results, and waiting about a week for delivery, or just putting on a mask and gloves and going to the store myself very early (they open at 6). What is everyone else doing about food?

I'm in the same predicament @Sunny.....put an order in the 11th and wont see anything start trickling in till the 20th.....in the long run, if I dont stay on top of ordering with multiple grocers, there will be slim pickins here in the near future.....I wont go out either.
