Covid-19 lockdown check-in

[Zanza]

My brother is a surgeon who had been assigned to his hospitals Covid 19 taskforce. But there were never enough patients, so he basically idled for four weeks. Next week they will restart regular surgery.

It's a good thing that you guys are weathering the storm. At least some of us will have a plan B.

The Midrealm, my former kingdom in the SCA based in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and part of Kentucky, made a quarantine video.

These are my people.

Nasal helms with aventails. 

I approve of the music choice as well.

This is Meridies' response video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHRE5UMudTc

They're in Alabama, Georgia, and the Florida panhandle.

And I've no idea who made this, but it's cute.

EDIT: Oh, it's Glenn Abhenn, which is Mississippi and Louisiana.

My supermarket has the corridors marked one way with arrows, which makes sense so people don't pass close by each other. But I get amused a bit as sometimes I have to pass the aisle I want, go down an adjacent one, to move into the aisle I want in the right direction. 

Is there a map app for phones?

Hehe, given that many stores are doing the same with one way aisles, maybe someone will make an app!

One other thing I notice is that I get far fewer spam and robo calls on my home phone and cell. I find that great but odd, as I don't know why spammers are affected? Or maybe their employees can't or won't work because of the shutdowns and lockouts, or they refuse to work.

You know I wouldn't have thought about this, but for you mentioning it. And you're right, I haven't had any either. A small cause for celebration during the lockdown.

Indeed!

I never answer them unless I know who it's from with caller ID. I don't think I've gotten any on my cell phone in at least the last week, though I get fewer on that.

Well, my wife and I recovered from COVID-19, luckily it didn't affect us too severely.  I had fever for 8 days, my wife had fever for 2 weeks and some mild respiratory problems.

Good to hear.

Good news. 

Though I fear some of us won't be as lucky, as you say you were.

[KRonn]

Good to hear Hans. Glad you both recovered ok, though you both were sick for a while.

I wonder if I had Covid in mid-January. I had a sore throat and congestion for a few days over the long Martin Luther King Holiday weekend. At the time I figured just a cold or something and likely a cold is what it was.
