How are you managing the isolation/lockdowns due to Covid19

[Sufi_khan]

Hi everyone! With most places under lockdown, it feels unreal, yet we are all in this together. How are you managing?
I have developed a schedule for my family which includes exercise, active discussions, studies, prayers, and teaching the children skills that we normally don't have time for. Please share your ideas.
Stay healthy and stay safe.

Studying for my exams which may or may not be happening now thanks to covid-19. But at least I have some spare time to do some light reading

My life has hardly changed to be honest. My husband still goes to work, I still study (online classes), the only difference is my 8 year old is home all day so it’s more of a challenge to get my schoolwork done. I’m lucky to be hardly impacted by this virus, hope everyone stays safe and wash your hands.

I just saw this on the news:

One of the biggest problems with this mess is not knowing weather or not you are infected. Most people who have the virus feel fine until it strikes .... BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY .... since they think they are OK they go out in public and unwittingly disseminate the virus to others and even to family members. Testing stations will not give you the test unless you are showing symptoms which include a combination of fever of at least 100.4 F - 38 C, coughing, headaches and fatigue. If you go to a testing station and you do not have a temperature they will turn you away because they do not have enough test kits. The Brits have determined that another symptom, and one which is easy to note, is that you lose the sense of smell and taste. A local politician said she had lost her sense of taste and smell entirely. Others have said the same thing. Now that would be easy to test at home. If you have this symptom as well as a temperature go and get tested or at very least isolate yourself from others.

Thanks for sharing, I’m glad for the new information. This is why it’s so important to stay home and practice social distancing when you have to go out. I noticed you’re located in the U.S. and I don’t know what it’s like there, but here on the east coast of Canada only essential services are open in the hopes of keeping people home as much as possible.

You're welcome. And thanks for not mentioning that I spelled "whether" wrong *LOL* I only noticed that after I saw your response.

Only essential services are open here too in the midwest USA. I think the entire USA is pretty much under lockdown now.

I live near a beautiful park and I go there in the very early morning to walk and get some exercise and fresh air. There is usually no one there or if there is they are so far away that there can be no chance of transmission of the virus.

Honestly, I didn’t even notice until you mentioned it.
I’m glad to hear you still get some exercise, we have snow down here so the trails aren’t usable right now. I doubt this virus business will be going away anytime soon so stay safe.

One thing I have been doing is educating myself to the names and locations of every country on earth. I have been concentrating on continental countries but am now getting into the island nations of Oceania and the Caribbean.

If you'd like to do the same below is a great website to help you.
https://online.seterra.com/en/vgp/3167 - This one takes you to the "Asia" map, but at the top of the page are links to other maps.

Also, I have brushed up on the Greek Gods (the 12 Olympians). I have memorized who they are as well as their respective traits, symbols and stories in which they are each personally involved. These names do come up in literature from time to time and are worthy of commitment to memory, besides what else have you got to do with your idle time that is more rewarding than educating yourself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Olympians (scroll down).

Lucky that not much of life changed personally. Other than becoming my kids teacher. We usually do school work at home during school vacations. Also we have lived this lifestyle many of times do to health. We are thankfully to be healthy and together. Hope everyone stay safe and healthy.

I'm trying to learn Mandarin. It was my original major, and I switched after my freshman year due to lack of interest. Always slightly regretted it even though my professional track has taken me into law libraries.

I just got Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (in Mandarin) delivered today, so I'm excited about going on my childhood journey again in a foreign language.

I just read, do reviews, play video games and work out. All the stuff I normally do on my days off, except I'm not going out shopping or visiting anyone.

Our family spend time studying the Bible and praying daily for our nation. We also often watch movies and Asian series.
