Wife just had a text from the school she works at asking "can the people that are self-isolating please confirm whether or not they will be attending the meeting this afternoon".

My partner’s yoga teacher texted the other day to see if she was going to yoga. “Sorry, no, my partner has a cough”.
She replied “well, if you change your mind we are going ahead”.
If you change your mind?!?!
I know the poor woman is trying to earn a living, but it didn’t sound like she’d taken in what’s actually going on. I hope she gets it now. But it’ll be hard on her if this is her only or main income.

I guess she must be well aware that her service users may really struggle with this, in addition to any usual triggers/difficulties. 
(eta - erm, that was to froggy, not re the yoga teacher! 
Although she may well feel the same... 
)...
How're you doing today, froggy?
What have you been up to?
I'm no worse than yesterday and have just done a tiny bit of my waxing job (with the windows open!). One more side of a chest and the bottom of a chair my grandmother made, which I had already done the top half of). My hands are fucked from work and this job is one of those that really aggravates that, so I'm doing it in small chunks and tbf, this is the ideal time to get that done and be able to cross it off my list/stop stressing about having to do it!
I should really clean the bathroom, too...
Am trying to get my kids set into a new routine for a bit. My son literally woke up and got straight out of bed and onto his headset and started speaking to customers so have suggested to him that he sets aside at least half an hour to mark a before work period.
Daughter/I have been sent a really helpful email about how they need to structure their days and I have spoken to her about the importance of taking responsibility for her learning, that this could go on a while.
Have also said to son that while his work are still trying to adjust and improve wfh, it'd be sensible to suggest they all have a five minute break every hour-ish, where they get up and walk around/make tea etc because he was sat at his desk all day yesterday, apart from his lunch break, when it'd be way more normal for him to be moving between offices/floors etc if he was actually in the office.
I think they'd already decided yesterday to have more frequent group catch up calls, too - which is important just to normalise it a bit, apart from having actual work to discuss etc.
He's not keen on change so is not enjoying it much so far but thinks he will learn to adapt!

I'm not self-isolated, it's actually compulsory for me, but I'm on Day Two of a minimum of 14 days in a quarantine hotel. Can I join the thread even though I didn't do this voluntarily? Tbh, I'm really glad that the conditions of entry to China include quarantine, as this is what will keep everyone safe. Bringing the virus back into the community would be intolerable.
I don't have any symptoms, but I did have a test for the virus today. I think I get the results tomorrow.
Trying to stay active with YouTube workout videos, and I've got my classes to teach online. We're also setting up a support group using the local equivalent of whatsapp to help people, especially English and other FL speakers, who arrive at this quarantine center.

Yeah it's tough this stuff, there's a few people I know who are just carrying on trying to do stuff, one fella with a small sandwich shop who is refusing to shut up shop and has got quite belligerent about it all. I mean I wouldn't be going to a gym or yoga or having somebody make me up a baguette at moment but I do get why, keep wolf from door and all that.
Could all be resolved by a genuine commitment from govt of course, not the wishy washy stuff so far where nobody knows what criteria is or how to get it etc

I've just had a video call from a friend who has today gone into isolation. He was also due to go out to Florida this week. His sister is there, his brother-in-law has just died at their house there. She can't go back to the UK. He can't get out to help her.
Fuck this is not easy.

I was doing the Sambuca with coffee beans thing a while back, and thought "I wonder what a shot of espresso with a shot of Sambuca would be like".. Big mistake. It's now my favourite drink. I can't stop drinking them, which is resulting in a much higher caffeine and alcohol intake than is absolutely necessary.
Explains a lot.

We are both in isolation. It is all a bit hand to mouth, here, so I have not been able to stash anything beyond tea and petfood.. My partner is not taking this as seriously as I am and thinks it's OK to 'nip to the corner shop' (I don't). More pointedly, both of us are totally crap at asking for help...and will take all kinds of risks to avoid this situation. I can't ask my youngest because he is also in quarantine with a very immune deficient, in cancer recovery partner. I feel very helpless here.
Friend of mine teaches yoga and cancelled all classes last week for the foreseeable furure.
Got an email from her today saying she has started online classes and anyone who wants to can register and join in from the comfort of their own home.
I thought it was a good idea
Might try it out.

are there any urbs in your vicinity?
Coronavirus: if you are able to offer help, please post here
As suggested by redsquirrel a thread for people in a pickle due to C19 restrictions. Put what you need and (roughly) where you are and the urbanz may be able to help. editor Lazy Llama this may be better in K&S for privacy reasons, but it may not get seen there. Ideas? UPDATE: Please use this...

It’s sunny and warm outside. I miss just going out for coffee or to the panadería.

It's a gorgeous sunny day here. I'm about to sit outside with a lovely fresh coffee, and listen to the birds singing.
