Keeping everyone I know and many others too in my prayers, asking for blessings upon you and your family Psycho.
Fortunately, exposure to viruses is limited for me since I live alone, all of my relatives live hundreds of miles away, there are no close neighbors, and my "hermitage" cottage is off a trail way off the end of a dead end road. There is absolutely no traffic and the only noise I hear is from "voices" of birds & animals, an occasional low flying aircraft, boat motor from the river, my TV if I turn it on, or loud echoing & vibrating music from a nearby music/camping park along the river. Having lived here most all of my life, the isolation does not bother me at all emotionally and about the only places I travel to are necessities of dentist, doctor, or occasionally for replenishing my supply of "survival" groceries, prescriptions,etc.
The necessity of this current social isolation of society is mighty inconvenient now though. I need some household repairs done that I am in no way able to do myself and will have to wait until I consider it safe virus wise to hire someone to do them. The latest household "disaster" occurred this weekend when the drain to my washer burst & flooded gallons of soapy water into my laundry area wall, electrical outlet, & floor then spread under built in cabinets in my kitchen. I was not physically able to move the heavy machine to mop under it so cut off all the breakers in that area, mopped what I could reach & more next day of what leached out onto floors overnight then ran a fan with an extension cord from distant outlet to hasten drying. I am doing my best to get it bone dry and prevent any mold from developing. I'll wash clothes each day in a bucket outside until I can get the drain replaced. I've been in survival mode all of my life knowing "this too shall pass" and I'll get through it or transition to a better place.
