Working From Home - Impacts of Coronavirus

We've been shopping several times in the past few days to stock up on the normal stuff, no hoarding here but we did get an extra box of snack bars. The stores are crowded and as everyone has said, the toilet paper and tissues were sold out but it hasn't been any problem getting food so far.

I'm afraid I'll never understand the toilet paper thing, of all the things I could hoard, food, beverages, medications, cleaning supplies, ammo (if I lived somewhere I could hunt game if needed), firewood, camp stove fuel, gasoline, etc TP would probably fall to the bottom of that list. As long as I've got running water I simply don't need it, it's a convenience item.

Took about 4 days in here from "schools will remain open" to  --> martial law, closing schools and 50% of parents pulling their kids out of kindergarden.  :popcorn:

Been working from home this week with a cough - without testing there is no way to be sure that this is "just" a cough and not something more serious.

I can't work from home, so I'm off sick with a cough. It started out quite mild at the weekend, but I came to work Monday to Wednesday, then people told me I should not come in today. The cough has gotten worse though and I didn't sleep well last night, although I don't feel unwell enough to be off sick. I might go for a cycle ride this afternoon, if it doesn't rain of course.
