Hey @parus- You are more than welcome! I'm glad to hear that things are good with you. They are here as well. I think that we all just have to grin and bear it. Everywhere things are somber and we are finding that people are really taking this seriously now. Everyone is keeping at least 6 ft apart from one another. One of our markets has 6 ft markers for lines!
We should be seeing a pip soon on one of mom's eggs. A pip is the first break in the shell before hatch. I don't know of anyone who has been stricken either. I hope that it stays that way. How's that little guy of yours? Are you speaking on the phone or having facetime?

@merpreb My little guy is well. Missing grandma a whole lot as I miss him. I am no longer seeing family as they are still working and I don't want to put myself at risk. Not what I wanted to do and I feel I may be over reacting. Possibly it may seem selfish of me. Better some missed times together for a short time than forever. There are residents here that still have their grandkids come. Hopefully their choices do not affect the others in this community. I just can't do it knowing the risks to others as well as myself. I miss seeing my family too.
I plan to stay put and not even go to the grocery store for a couple of weeks. The county I live in had no reported cases and now it is a hotbed of COVID cases. Seems in this area it has not been taken seriously enough. Only responsible for my own behavior.

@merpreb In the spirit of this discussion, I am very grateful that I too know of no one who has been stricken with COVID-19. I worry a lot about a dear friend of mine. Her husband is a police chief in a MA town so he is out there. They know three people who have passed away from this, a fourth is in the hospital still battling it. She is sedated and has a ventilator so she does not yet know that her husband and brother-in-law have both passed away. 😭
Thankfully, my son and daughter and their spouses are all working from home now. My daughter-in-law was in the stress testing area of her hospital but they have temporarily stopped testing anyone who is not inpatient so she is now home manning the phone, from their home, when people call about COVID-19. None of them are going out, they are all getting their groceries delivered, and none of them are comfortable with take-out food, which we are also not comfortable with.
