Taco Bells are closed in California? Not even the drive through?

It's been a drag for sure but I have managed to do some creative stuff I have wanted to do for years like collaborating on a music project with an old buddy who now lives across the country I also find Zoom interactions to be a much better alternative to phone calls which I almost never make.

My neighbors are hosting a food bank out of their house so there is a lot of people milling around on my street. A lot of people have started to let their guard down about masks and distancing. I have overheard people saying that this is going to completely change the way we live but I am not really convinced. This whole event will be a distant memory 6 months after the coast is clear. People don't tend to change habits.

I totally agree. Sadly, most people are full of shit.

My partner’s 94 year old grandma went into respite for a week at the beginning of all of this to give the family some recharge time after a long period of care. 1 week. 2 days in corona hits and we are told she cannot be visited again. She has spent her entire life surrounded by family and now told she probably won’t ever see them again. Very sad situation

Minor compared to so many other situations around the world, just our slice of the pandemic.

On a positive note... I reckon lockdown has been one of the best things to happen to our family. I have a 7 month old, a 9 year old, an 11 year old and a fiancé. My kids have been more independent and creative than ever before. Shedding the daily activities they do has left them to develop their own fun. It has been liberating. Definitely bought us all closer together.

Hope everyone can see some light at the end of the tunnel

Don't give up hope on your partner's grandma. My friends 90 year old mom got covid in a nursing home and recovered. She's an exception, but certainly not the only elderly person to beat it.

That’s so sad that her twilight years have been blanketed by this pandemic.

It’s so cruel that you can’t visit and hug her.
What a terrible thing that we aren’t ‘allowed’ to see our elderly.........that is the one thing that keeps their spirits alive.

94 years old......what a bloody legend.

Weird that the average age of those that have died from Covid is actually higher than the age of those that die naturally ...according to the National death toll......said... ‘Joe Bogan’.

You should be allowed to just walk in and grab her.....take her home and live your life.

Edit:...Those nursing homes seem to be a hotspot ‘Petri’ dish for this virus.....I’d be looking in to evacuate if possible.✌🏻

Hearing these stories of elders in nursing homes unable for family to visit and highly susceptible to this f*ing virus. Gosh that is just horrible.

I miss my boys

9 weeks where I’ve spent a total of 90 minutes with them has really sucked.

This week had them out at the cottage with me for a few days. Their sister got to spend some time with them. When my ex found out that she was out here too so went loco and made me drive them back to her house. Olivia and Aidan my youngest were both crying on the truck ride back there. I was too.

Fuck this virus.
