Sequoia, what's it like for you there?

As I mentioned in my thread, the country is on quarantine, no air travel, no trains, presumably check-points outside the city, and no subway. I don’t go out. Without exercise, my back hurts Sad

Tried calling the American embassy but no one picked up.

I am with you on back pain being my most frustrating part of this. I swim regularly and it keeps my pain manageable but without it it's been horrible .

austria. quarantine, parks and playgrounds closed, no school, limited transport, no medical import (lack of specific meds), borders closed, homeoffice, elearning, so far enough food, drink, online shopping for shoes went fine, we had to order paper, crafting supplies for the little ones and some games for the older ones on amazon and despite a slower delivery that went fine too.

getting ready for pessach. we usually have full house on pessach and invite whoever we can. this year im afrain we will be alone Sad

thats the saddest part for us (and the fact that we cannot visit sick, old relatives)

I also hate the BACKPAIN!

You can exercise at home! You can even go running outdoors!

Canada (Montreal).
Shuls closed, many stores closed, schools closed, borders closed, 50 people weddings. Essential stores such as supermarkets heavily control customer flow.

Yup.

Now, this morning, reports of outbreak in one of our densely populated Jewish neighbourhoods (Cote St Luc). Sad

Unfortunately, I think this is only the beginning of what we will hear. It was also a big wedding and so many people went home to their families after being exposed. Sigh. Crying

I hope a Refuah shleimah for that woman.

Stay well, Navy and chag sameach.

I am boiling internally at the stupidity of people going to a wedding on Monday
The behaviour of people have made me despair of humanity

Powderblue, same here - very annoyed. I'm in CSL area. Cavendish mall, only yesterday when we went to pick up meat order from butcher, was SWIMMING with seniors! They have been warned to stay indoors but were all together at the mall shmoozing like nothing was going on.

It seems sometimes people only learn when it happens to them and it's too late.

I think that there have been breakdowns in communication. Some of the Rabbanim in Outremont directed seniors to stay home on Monday. My father hasn't been anywhere, not even shul, since. The Rabbanim led by example and stayed home too.
