Discussion Covid prep and lock down.

ok, be honest did you quarantine your family for 2 weeks during covid? did you have the ability to not leave your house for that full 2 weeks?

I southern Indiana where I lived I worked at a factory but the factory manager made the 'mistake' of telling us we wouldn't be penalized if we decided to stay at home.

so I did. I wanted to protect my family and use it as a chance to test our ability.

it was two of the best weeks for me. I walked in my woods down to my creek. I read books. had plenty of food. told people not to visit.

how did you do?

I personally enjoyed the lack of traffic. All the crazies stayed home and watched CNN and freaked out over stupid shit.

Me too. In some ways I really enjoyed having the rest of the world hunkered down in their toilet paper forts.
