What is everyone doing?
 

Now that sports are canceled and large gatherings are banned, etc. what is everyone doing for entertainment? I’ve started reading again.

Reading is the best way to spend any free time....playing cards.....board games...watch movies....practice guitar....get a new hobby....exercise...

what we are doing
 

Watching Investigate ID, reading, texting friends.

I've been getting a jump on spring cleaning, windows, raking, ect………...

We are still going out to our favorite places. Just keeping some distance and washing. Local business need the support but we have to vigilant. I went to Walmart today in Gilford. There were definitely some blown out sections but overall the store had tons of food and medical supplies.

I'll be hanging with my kids and getting our exercise outdoors instead of at the Y. Also, a beach trip and a couple hiking trips.

At night, board games and movies by the wood stove. My kids are into Risk right now, and I'm gonna foster that!

We're getting rid of all our "junk" and unecessary stuff and getting ready to move in May!

I have a lot of home projects at both houses so I'm keeping busy. The only store I need to go into is Home Depot.

I'm working on a website similar to the Winni Gas one...." What stores have toilet paper and how much does it cost".

That's not the only thing selling like like hotcakes. Guns and bulk ammo are flying off the shelves.

Not exactly sure what people are thinking but seriously I hope we are not on the verge of anarchy. Bass Pro did have a pretty good price on bulk 1000 round cases of 9MM. Limited to one case per customer while supplies last.

Are you and FLL the same person?

Tonight, went out to O’s thinking it might be a bit slow for a Saturday. Good to say I was wrong. Full restaurant and bar. Had to wait for a table. Was told it was the same last night. Many summer folks are back for the next two weeks due to Mass closing their schools.

can't be...no noodle or Wal-Mart reference...

If you get desperate I’ll tell you my secret spot. Hasn’t failed me yet.

So far so good. I haven't had to resort to using corncobs...yet![emoji6]

Pop movie reference “he doesn’t know how to use the three sea shells”. Which movie and who said it?

Add some Twinkees and you’ll be all set. I hear they’re as fresh after 3 years as they are right off the line.

None in the store...maybe in desperation people are using THOSE as tp substitutes!

that's easy - Demolition Man staring Stallone, Snipes and Bullock, then Leary and Snieder

I retired in December after 41 years of public service to the Community in which I live. I’ve pretty much been in isolation attempting to pick away at the honey do list for the past 76 days. The next few weeks will be no different....🙄😷
Be safe and vigilant...

Interesting read this morning. See what the UK is considering?

Herd immunization, take those that are in the best health and condition to survive this and expose them to it. Let them build a natural immunity to it. Novel idea. This would effectively slow it's uncontrolled spread as there would be far less targets to infect.

On paper and in theory this sounds plausible. Definitely a different approach.

We just moved/retired here a little over a month ago and have been in the house doing some needed projects. Of course, we made a lot of trips to Lowes and elsewhere to purchase things, but essentially have been home working and taking care of business, establishing ourselves as new residents and so forth.

Now we were hoping to establish a life that we envisioned and get out and about and be social. Join some groups, etc. Ain't happening.

So, we continue to stay in with just occasional trips to the grocery store or bank or post office. We are on the internet a lot and watch TV. I read a little. I take walks and I do exercise a bit also. My husband is getting bored and I am a bit antsy. We only can do so many projects. Thank goodness we essentially are home bodies, but this is overkill for us and we ain't get any younger! I can't imagine people that hate staying put having to stay home.

I really need a haircut- haven't had one since we left NY (hubby had one last week) and I do want to go out and buy maple syrup this week. We are expecting a new mattress delivery within the next week or so and also have to go back to Lowes to order a storm door installation. That's our big excitement.

It's funny. We were just saying in times like these we were better off in our former compound in NY on 10 1/2 acres in isolation, with a huge freezer and pantry/bunker/food storage and water and game on the property and with our medical team in place already. Hubby will be needing high blood pressure medication and does have an appt. with a new doc in another week. I hope he can get his medication supply with no issues. You just never know what life will bring you.

Stay well, everyone!

The liability a community would have is off the charts. With that said, the isolation thing is concerning to me. Are we just expanding the life of this virus by keeping everyone away. The assumption being made is that the virus dies off without a host. Are we sure about that? If it lives longer then one believes then this issue is around for awhile. Then the sh&$ does hit the fan. Yes, there are two micro biology majors in the family so I have a small bit of knowledge here

With no sports we started watching the '04 Red Sox championship run on DVD!!! T-bones in Hudson at lunch yesterday seemed just a little slow, but still steady.
My wife is a teacher and is out for two weeks, our son, 3 yo, has no day care for 2 weeks either. So she is now going to be the day care for all the others that need to still work as normal.

Glad to hear the restaurants are busy. We closed down on March 2nd took our entire staff to Florida for two weeks. We will be returning for business Wednesday. I was concerned that I would have to promote a free roll of toilet paper with the purchase of half-price martinis.

You might be onto something there!

Welcome back, your clientele will fill your place as always. Would not give up so soon on that half price martinis for a roll of TB tho!

Seems many are not paying attention to the directions coming out from national sources. This is serious. It is not a vacation as some may be thinking with schools shut. It is meant to keep people from congregating and intends for them to STAY HOME....not fill restaurants, movie theaters, shopping malls, etc. Sorry, but it really concerns us. MA certainly has stepped up things faster and more aggressively than NH. Some will disagree and that is fine. This is just my opinion.

What is everyone doing?
 

Count me as one who disagrees. Be vigilant especially if you are elderly and or have underlying issues, practice good hygiene don’t touch anything you do not have to without sanitizing but remember it is not and airborne virus you need contact to contract it.

Many people think it's not a problem until you get it. That's the problem and that's how it spreads.

I never said it wasn’t a problem I just think there is an amount of overreacting. Everyone needs to be vigilant and for some it’s quarantine for others it’s hygiene and sanitizing while trying to maintain some semblance of their lives. To each his own.

It most definitely is an airborne virus.

Not from what I have seen according to the CDC. If you have seen something from them in writing stating it is airborne I would love to see it and consider its merits

If not airborne (I believe it is airborne as well as other means of transmission!) , why are health care workers dressed masks, gloves, face shields, plastic suits, (covered head to toe), etc. etc. ? Why are we being told to stay 6 ft away in social distancing if all the concern is just from touching? Why are people told how to sneeze and cough to avoid airborne droplets? Yes indeed, airborne it is, as well as from touching infected surfaces and people. It is HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS!

Completely out of precaution. Again show me where in writing the CDC says it is airborne and I will consider it. I have yet to find it but maybe I am missing something.

Right from the CDC web site....here is the link and below is an excerpt...
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...revention.html

Know How it Spreads
Illustration: woman sneezing on man
There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.
The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

Time to move on........

How COVID-19 Spreads
Person-to-person spread
The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.

Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

Can someone spread the virus without being sick?

People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest).
Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of this occurring with this new coronavirus, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
Spread from contact with contaminated surfaces or objects
It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

How easily the virus spreads
How easily a virus spreads from person-to-person can vary. Some viruses are highly contagious (spread easily), like measles, while other viruses do not spread as easily. Another factor is whether the spread is sustained, spreading continually without stopping.

The virus that causes COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily and sustainably in the community (“community spread”) in some affected geographic areas.

Community spread means people have been infected with the virus in an area, including some who are not sure how or where they became infected.

To what end? Are we going to shut this country down indefinitely while everyone stays at home cowering in fear? Easy for career politicians to say as they don't have a real job you have to show up to and be productive on a daily basis. Doctors well they often times give unrealistic recommendations as well.

Isolating yourself from this is futile. It's not a matter of if but when you are exposed. Simple as that. Isolation may buy you two things, a little time and a false sense of security.

I continue to go to work, if I get sick I will stay home get better or die, depending on which will determine where I am this summer, at the lake or 6 feet under. For now planning on the lake. :rolleye2:

Not from the CDC...
