@ warspite, I am in Toronto. The Province of Ontario and the City have declared a State of Emergency. Non-essential services have been shut down, and like many jurisdictions Schools and certain government services have been closed. The streets are mostly empty and the majority of people seem to understand the seriousness of the situation.

@ loki, Sorry to know of your problems. When existing Family concerns coincide with Unforeseen, and serious situations, it is very difficult.

Interesting (you being in Toronto). I'm 90 minutes north east of you in Lindsay.

Lindsay is such a nice town. You are also in the Kawartha Lakes district which is so beautiful.

What is everyone else doing?

Hard to be positive, or even focus on something at this time. My sister is in the hospital right after my mom passed away. She has also givin positive due to being the last to be with my mom. As a positive note, she has a minor pneumonia and no other side health issues that could degrade her due to CV-19, but she´s 61 and in the hospital so I can only but worry. If she goes, I would be alone as my dad passed away two years ago, but I have hope.

With the lockdown, I and my girlfriend were the only one´s at my moms funural due to restrictions which only made everything even more sad. Due to the lockdown we can´t go for walks and don´t have a porch or patio, we live in a small apartment, so that option is discarted for us which does make a big differance in quality of life right know.

Aside from the above, the sadness just get´s bigger as I see/read how all this is being handle! Wont go into details but I hope everybody will remember how bad this is going when they look back at how the system works! Those who are really in the frontline are not being rewarded (lack of supplys) by goverments and every day citizens are proving that there´s way´s to remedy some of this buy creating there own mask, gel´s, protective screens ect. through household items or 3D printers, donations ect. The response is so unhuman by goverments at this age that it all adds up to more sadness. Nurses had to assist families by handing there smartphones to those who were dying due to the CV so they could give there last goodbey, due to restrictions of visits! The replica that goverments all over the world are following really bother´s me, in a sense that has no logic, and overall very strange that they all follow the same pattren, and it´s not due to Chinas model.

I try to think on other things but it´s not easy. Would play some games but I can´t think on killing/shooting at anything at this time, even if it´s a cardboard counter! Only games I try to play right now are Survisland and Space Engineers. Makes you think why most games are so violent. Can´t play guitar or listen to music, and it´s hard for me to focus while I read, so not much can keep me from thinking on something else.

Sorry but this is just how it is on the other side of the fence. Enjoy all you can of what you can, and make sure you don´t forget that it´s not that easy for others. Today there was a tribute to those who died in the Germanwings Incident, they too could not do what they wanted, but it´s a remainder that people die due to human stupidity! My prayers are with them too.

My condolences.

The only positive thing I can say is that both me and my wife are hospital physicians and we go to work everyday (although with different schedules because we have an autistic son that now has to stay in-house 24/7 - no school. no therapies...).

As we, millions of healthcare professionals around the world are putting themselves and their families at risk to help the sick. We will do all we can !

Mark Cuban owner of the Dallas Mavericks is continuing to pay all of his employees and also picking up the bill for any of his employees that order take out food as an incentive to help the restaurant industry.

I believe he's providing food for Healthcare workers but I'm not sure how that works. Still Good Stuff.

Yes it's a good thing. I imagine he is taking a beating right now.

Feel free to laugh at me but I'm spending today trying to learn how to sew from my mother so that I can make us some homemade surgical masks to wear. I found instructions on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqlmDf6 ... e=emb_logo

Of course, the lady in the video is confused about how to use the masks, you don't turn them around to use the other side, that's not why you use two different distinct patterns or colors. But I guess everything else about the video is OK, as far as how to make the masks.

You could get some ladies undergarments, cut them up, attach some straps for around the head, and enjoy. Just make sure that you get the right size cups . . .
