Thanks for your support and your openness, Callie! I'm in Canada and in my area we are closed except for essential businesses. I have three teenage sons (15, 17 and 19) and a husband and the boys are hating Mom (me) restricting their XBox time so that they keep up with their online studies (schools here are closed and have been closed since March 13) and help with spring cleaning.
I'm staying home and have cancelled my usual volunteer routines. I've been trying to use the time to be more productive around the house and tackle some home repairs etc that we had been putting off. But without a "deadline" procrastination tends to settle in.
My sister-in-law is apparently sick and is exhibiting symptoms but hasn't yet been tested (according to my nephew). We haven't seen her but she is in poor health even before this virus. Other than her, our family is all well. My greatest concern is for my father who is 87 and seems not to understand how serious this is for him. He keeps asking me to come take him to Wendy's for lunch which is heart breaking because I would love to see him but my eldest works in a grocery store so our household is risky these days (not to mention that no restaurants are open for dining ... just take out).
I'm very grateful for Second Life as it keeps me connected but still from safe social distances.
I hope everyone stays healthy and safe. Virtual hugs all around.

Corona Virus - how can we help?
