Quarantine check in
mare:
That’s what they’re doing here. By region and in phases. My sister was told to stay home until the end of May and then they’d reassess. This country is opening up too fast and we’re going to be back at square one within a few weeks.

Some parts of the country have very little, while others have very high cases. Our PM is making announcements on the weekend about easing out of lockdown. Work have told us we will probably be going back in about four weeks, some have started going back this week, but that's because it's harder for them to work from home.
I don't think my daughter will be going back to college this school year though, but we will see.
My son is finding it hard being completely on his own, he lives about 20 miles away and isn't working at the moment due to the restaurant being closed. He is getting 80% of his pay, which is a good thing, but he's lonely and bored without his work.

Aww, I’m sure it’s hard being stuck in lockdown alone, especially if you’re a social person. I could easily do it but I’m sure most would have difficulties. I’m a mole woman lol

This whole situation definitely favors those of us who are homebodies and introverts anyway. I rarely get lonely, bored, or stir-crazy. I'm completely content in quarantine and enjoying the fact that it's finally socially acceptable to be a hermit. I do miss being able to go out to eat and do stuff with family and friends, but we've been having virtual happy hours about once a week, and that's been a good way to catch up. Half my friends are online anyway, so no change there. I feel for people who are more extroverted and like being busy because I know this is much harder on them.

Heyyy it has been a minute!
Sorry to see that some of us are having such a rough time with this. Especially in Quebec - everytime I see the news about things over there I get so sad. You are two provinces over from me (I am in Manitoba for those who don't know) and the situation could not be more different. We have 30 active cases and have successfully been flattening our curve for the last 6 weeks or so. Things are slowly starting to open back up. Still not sure how I feel about that. Sadly, the re-opening does not include being able to go visit family or anything like that. But we have been having "distancing beers" with my father in law which has been really nice. We are also going to have a "distancing lunch" with my mother in law tomorrow for mother's day. My mum and dad are pretty worried so we haven't done anything like that with them. Some days I have driven over to their place and they visit with Liam through the window of my car. We do pick up groceries for them and my Grandma every couple of weeks as my sister lives a couple hours out of town.
Very challenging time for my husband and I as we have a three month old. I am personally quite extroverted (as I am sure a lot of you know who have met me in person lol) so this is... quite rough. I was feeling quite isolated from world before this having been on mat leave and not really knowing what to do with myself.
Has BSB postponed their summer tour? I haven't been keeping up with them much. I had tickets to see the 3 1D guys who are touring North America solo this summer -- Niall cancelled his tour completely, Louis has postponed indefinitely and Harry hasn't said a word yet but I assume it's gonna be postponed as well. We have tickets to Harry's show in Vegas and a TON of my 1D friends were going to be there. It was sort of going to be like the BSB cruise where a bunch of people who hadn't met in person were finally going to meet after talking online for a long time. Naturally I was dragging Julia with me LOL. Quite disappointing to have that be pushed back but obviously it makes sense. Niall's second album was actually released the day that everything went upside down over here, it was so weird. Like one half of my twitter timeline that week the world was slowly shutting down, the other half was losing their minds over all his promo stuff he was doing. He was doing an album release show in LA that night (March 13) and I knew some people flying to LA for that show. In between the time they boarded the plane and landed the show went from still being on to being cancelled and Niall went home to the UK. Crazy!! We got four albums from those guys in the space of four months so it's nice to at least have new music to tide us over during this weird time.
I also couldn't quite believe it when they closed the Canada/USA border except to trade. Historic, for sure. I don't even think they did that in the days after 9/11. Not that I'd be crossing the border right now, but I live 45 minutes from North Dakota, I have spent a lot of time there in my life and it's so weird to think I'm not allowed in!!
Hope everyone in here continues to be safe and well.

Yes Quebec is very bad right now and now I hope our prime minister close everything again to stop the virus continue to increase again. I live an hour for Montreal and this is like the worst place to live right now. Because of my health I cannot go out at all and I begin my 3 months inside my home.
I don’t think the show in Montreal gonna happen because Bell center gonna be close until 2021 and all theater, show center are close in Quebec for the rest of the year.
