Girlfriend doesn't want to be totally isolated and she doesn't want to expose her mother to infections so we have a third child for now.
Have you done any prepping or just business as usual ?
We are stocked up pretty fine. We're working from home. If I need to shop I try to take every precaution.
Lots of long walks in the forest with the dog.

Dropping back in after being away a while. Not sure if this link has been shared here yet. It's not as pretty as the Johns Hopkins map, but the data is really good.

I includes infections per million, which is very useful when comparing numbers between countries. Pretty much everyone is on the exponential curve straight up.

My personal update: We got stocked up before the mad rush, so we have plenty of toilet paper, sanitizer, and food for a while. Family is pretty much locked down, except for my wife, who still has to go in to work. I'm working from home, and kids are schooling from home. I'm still real nervous because I fall into a higher risk due to diabetes. Other than that I'm in decent shape, for being an IT worker who sits at a desk all day. Hope everyone else is still doing well.

Good to hear mate. I just bathed at the ocean first bath I've had since they shut the gym down. Trying to think now I think the last one was Tuesday at a co-workers place. Been holed up on the beach the weather is very fair but cloudy. Going to go back to work tmrw and do an out of state job but I'll be sure and wear gloves at least when i stop for fuel and I'm seriously considering sleeping in the truck and avoiding hotels all together idk if that's too paranoid.

I don't know if anything is too paranoid at this point. I wouldn't want to stay in a hotel right now. I'm leery of going to the grocery store. We stay apart from other people, I try and pick items at the back of the shelf when possible. After putting groceries away at home we wash and sanitize. Amazon boxes (when we do order right now) are left outside for a day, then brought into the garage with gloves. boxes never enter the main house. I even try and wipe down the items inside the package after removing them before they come into the house. I really don't want to test this virus with my diabetes.

Stay safe.

I don't want to catch this shit either it's spooky af and I'm a smoker and missing organs already. I think I would probably be fine but no telling. Sounds like a bad way to go and I still haven't had a chance to get my life back together I would hate to die in the state I'm in rn.

I'd get my wife inside the bunker if I were you, otherwise you're not protected at all
