Is everyone staying healthy?

Ok, I am not sure if anyone has addressed the "Big Elephant In The Room" that is COVID19. I hope everyone is healthy & staying safe. I am self-quarantined, how bout the rest of you?

I've been working remotely at home and gardening in the back yard to stay in shape.

I may go out this weekend for fresh groceries if I'm up to it though I could go another week and clean out the refrigerator completely. I do have lots of non perishables to eat.

I'm not officially self-quarantined and still go out to walk the dog, but I don't have a job and can't drive (in an area where my "public transport" options pretty much consist of Uber and the like even without a pandemic going on), so I stay at home most of the time (except for aforementioned dog walking). I'm fighting what is probably some combination of a cold, seasonal allergies, and/or medication side effects right now, but I don't have a cough and only mild fever and headache, so also considering my very limited public exposure, I highly doubt I could have COVID-19. My dad is going to work tomorrow to get things straightened out so he can continue to work from home (which he's been doing this week), my brother is also working from home, and my mom works for a school district that has been shut down for the rest of the semester, so she isn't working again until August, probably (but it does look like she'll still be getting paid). My mom is planning not to make more than one grocery store trip a week for the duration of this. Everyone in my family except me seems to be pretty healthy, so unless any of us are asymptomatic carriers right now, all seems to be good on my front.

I had a scratchy throat yesterday and was a little concerned. It went away without becoming a sore throat so I only self-isolated yesterday. I do sometimes get a scratchy throat a day after running which I had done on Tuesday. Also had a little runny nose but that's not unusual for me.

For those who are able to work from home, congrats. My job is such that I cannot work from home, I do minor clerical work in an office & it is part time so I can't even get paid. I will have to see about unemployment. AND I was supposed to originally have been in Disney/Universal in Orlando this week & come home tom'w but that didn't happen, it's postponed indefinitely. However, to stay sane, I use the computer & internet, watch tv, & knit.
