Hi Everyone, if you are self isolating, how long for? Have us 70’s and over got to do it for the 12 weeks. And what happens then? Will we be safe or is it wait and see. Xxx

Everything is a great unknown. It's changing daily. We're taking it a few days at a time. Last night when the advice about schools came it was as clear as mud because of the clause about "Vulnerable Children" and "key workers"

What I do know is we're not seeing my folks for a number of weeks, probably April at the earliest. And work is slowly but surely slipping into stress and panic about corona patients coming in.

I agree with jedimaster.It is a one day at a time situation.

We are planning for 3 months minimum self isolation and maybe 4 months.

very good community help groups getting going locally in Oxon .A friend in Montreal tells us nothing so far in the way of help in Montreal City.

Ah well, bit of decorating I think. Hopefully weather will pick up soon, get in the garden. X

We live on the South Coast and still have a walk on the prom every day as are many oldies. Yesterday I saw five carrying hankies and one with a nasty cough. I'm more concerned about now out of school kids who will have little symptoms and will certainly be out and about on their bikes and scooters. Colds are always spread during Christmas, mid term and Easter holidays

So happy not to be in FLorida with the college kids feeling invincible and crowding the beaches. What will happen when they return home? Frightening possibilities. I believe we will be in isolation for at least another month., here in PA.

A lot of sporting events are still on in Florida with horse racing at Gulfstream and Pompano still running.

Are the Disney attractions still open ?

I believe that this is a fluid situation that can change daily...We just do not know...Easiest way to go through this is One Day at a Time

All the Disney Parks all closed. It's the college spring break that brings crowds to the beach!
