It makes me mad to hear that people are taking this virus lightly. Your roommate is endangering those around her, and that includes you!! You must be constantly sanitizing everything she touches. Does she stay in her room? I just watched a press conference from our Mayor, she is requiring masks for all grocery and pharmacy workers. The Chinese community here has donated 8000 masks for those workers and health care workers. The trails and parks are open still with social distancing for those who use them, but basketball and tennis courts are closed. We can't take this more seriously.

The governor of New York commented, “ We underestimate this virus to our own peril.” Those are very sobering words! We on this site, unfortunately, have much prior knowledge because as Terri said, “we are keenly aware of unseen microbes that can make us very sick.” Irene

@mayofeb2020 Hi. Do you have a first name that you don't mind sharing with me? It is ok if you don't want to. As for my roommate situation; I did have a talk with her last night. I informed her with what the news is saying and that I'd like for her to cut out socializing outside the home until we can get over the virus hump. My state just issued a 'Stay at Home' order yesterday. I also asked her to stock up on groceries in order to avoid the stores as much as possible. She didn't seem happy with that, but oh well. My morning routine is after she leaves for work; I disinfect all surfaces, handles, and knobs in our common areas. I prep my food while she is gone all day. I retreat to my bedroom when she comes home. I keep a jug of drinking water up there with me. Plus, I have snacks stashed up here too. I think I might be a natural born survivalist. LOL! How are you holding up with the isolating?
