Husband M and I decided to stop going to the gym for the next month to help fight the spread of this covid-19 virus then the gym closed anyway. We will go on walks. We have still been going to the odd restaurant, then these closed except for takeout and delivery. The public schools are on a 3 week closure, people have been panic buying with long lineups at Costco and the grocery stores. They are buying toilet paper, bleach, and hand sanitizers. The stock market crash is worrying. It seems that the spring break travel at the airport was way down. Our prime minister Justin Trudeau's wife contracted the virus after a trip to the UK. He is in self isolation. Many people who can are working remotely.
These are unprecedented times. Disneyland and Disneyworld in the US is closed, the NBA, NHL, MLB sports leagues are suspended. It came to me that this virus affects the whole world, rich or poor it does not discriminate. Let us try to stay positive and smart in fighting this.

Good idea, we need to stay sensible! Hugs, Valerie
We do need to make changes in our lives and in our lifestyles.
We also need our religious beliefs, friends and family even at a distance 💮
You are so right. If we all make an effort, this will pass much faster. Enjoy your couch time.
Yes you are so right! Let us try to stay positive and smart in fighting this virus.
Key word..unprecedented. We really don't know what to do. Stay healthy.
Remain level-headed and do what is good for our health. Protect yourself well!
Hugs Elke
I agree with you. My daughter has been helping us by taking our car in for servicing and shopping for us, too.
Everythig is getting close in NYC.... I wish this stupid virus pass already
Same here. The schools and nurseries close on Friday until after summer! All the football (soccer) and other sports, concerts, and events have been cancelled. Panic buying here too! I think people are panicking too much!
I think the world is overreacting.
From what we have seen in China and Italy, and high incidence of deaths, I think not. In the US, doctors are saying there is not enough space or ventilators, or other supplies if we reach the same level as Italy. That is the reason for the shut-downs, to flatten the numbers over a longer period of time so the medical community can handle it.
We must all do our bit to act sensibly …
Take care and stay safe and well.
All the best Jan
I'm loving this down time. Just listened to our Pastor's message from last Sunday on line. Made a batch of scones this morning. Our Rx is being delivered, and a nurse is coming to draw Don's blood for his levels. Does it get any better? Being positive is a life style, and its in my DNA...Love and Hugs and thanks for being wise in your own lifestyle.
Never seen anything like this. Every building I enter first thing I do is wash my hands and as I leave I again wash my hands.
thank you for uplifting meme Christine
yes we need to stay calm and positive and yes helpful to others who cannot understand the seriousness of situation
everything is closed here either including schools ,summer vacations are held before time
it's hard to do anything up here right now but self isolate for the most part - more winter weather has come by. We still have made a couple trips out to the grocery store, and for taking photos of the snow. it always feels good to get out in nature. Yesterday over at Staters the snow was blowing and I just couldn't make myself get back in the car for awhile - i had to stand out in it and just let it hit my face and make me feel a tiny bit of joy.
I've never encountered anything like this before... All we can do is do our best. Thank you for the meme!
We'll all do what we should to take care of each other.
Excellent post Christine!
Unprecedented times indeed.
Take care dear friend.
