I'm having to resist the urge to rescue others, Lighter. My first instinct is always to do what I can to help, and at the moment that's collating evidence, putting it together and posting it online, in the hope that other people will take heed. But I've resisted doing it. I think the truth is, some people just don't want to know. They're so desperate to 'do their thing' that they don't care who or what else might become damaged by that. I just have to accept that, keep myself and son inside, keep the both of us up to speed on facts, not government nonsense and work on keeping us both as fit and healthy as possible, indoors.
Fortunately son is a science buff and is reading information that scientists and doctors are putting out there so he's following them rather than government information. It's interesting to me that a young adult with intellectual disabilities can do that, when many people without those disabilities can't.
I can only think your government and ours are going for herd immunity, although I have read there's no evidence yet that catching the virus once will stop you getting it again - which would make herd immunity unlikely anyway. We're staying in, regardless. At least we have a roof over our heads and the food deliveries seem to be going okay again now. Hope that you're all doing okay xx xx xx

CB, I'm so sorry you don't have a safe place nearby where you could take in nature, trees and flowers. There's no pleasant park you could tote a camp chair to, or sit with a book? Is there any road with sidewalks nice enough to walk on? I wish you could come wander my back yard. You're being conscious and productive and sane, and that's saying a lot compared to a lot of people.
Tupp, your descriptions of what's happening in England are so vivid. You are born to blog, ime. That might be an engaging way to write, share and create, too. Ever thought about it? You can create different section themes and plug in posts about whatever you feel like writing about on any given day: Life, Disability, Nature, Cats, Autism, Parenting, Culture, Community, Home, Frugality, Covid-19, whatever. Just anything that interests you. There are lots of free blog sites with free design template and you can learn how to use one in half a day.
Amber, sounds like your nature is pretty well-suited to isolation and that you've been really far-sighted in your survival and food production plans. I think you're riding it out in a really good place. If folks in town can keep their distance in businesses and most stuff can be delivered, you'll likely all do okay. As long as no asymptomatic carrier comes to visit. I could use time on a mountain soon, M and I have talked about driving to that hidden overlook I showed him one day just to stare at the valley and get perspective back.
Stay safe, everybody.
I wonder how Betty Anne is doing....

Our weather is fast turning to summer here in the south so I dont go out consistently. Also my patio (ground floor) is right off the common area as well.
I tend to stay on the other side of the glass door because I have little animals that actually come up on the porch as long as there is no trace of me. I spent a half hour this morning watching the bunny who was eating while lying on his tummy in the cool grass with his stubby little legs stretched out behind him. I often get to see the squirrels very close, and to check mama's progress. One day she was close I could see the babies moving in her tummy.
It's lovely here. I probably should go out more but ....inertia!

Aw, bunnies and squirrels, CB! How cute! They are so lovely. Do you follow 'Mr Lumpy and Friends' on Facebook? If not, you might like it, this lady is visited by badgers, foxes, squirrels and a few other things and she feeds them all and photographs them from behind her patio door. It's really lovely.
I have turned into the mad bird feeder lady and the tree outside our house has several feeders and a home made water feeder as well. I had a delivery from the local pet shop yesterday so I filled everything up this morning and the tree is just full of birds now. So cute. And then a ring of cats sitting at the base of the tree hoping the birds will fall out. Lol xx

Lighter, you were right in your research on blood type. Just saw this:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/03/health/coronavirus-blood-type-genetics.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage
Mine's A-positive, so all the more reason to stay home until there are zero new cases in our area for two weeks. Could be a loooooong time so that's what I'm intentionally trying to accept and adapt my mind to.
hugs

Find your comfort level, Hops... and get comfortable.
I'm so enjoying my yard right now.
