How are you dealing with Covid? Poll
So in my mind, i figure there are 3 types out there right now:
1. Full isolation - Avoiding all contact, Social distancing, no more than 1x per week to store
2. Modified Isolation - Doing roughly 50% of former activities but very diligent on handwashing, social distancing, but will go to stores for what they need
3. No Isolation - still going to work like before, still seeing friends/relatives as before, washing hands more but think it is overhyped.
4. none of the above
which are you?

Working from home, Incredigirl is doing that as well. Thankful that we're both working.
With teenagers in the house, we go through a lot of food - so shopping can be a pain. Thankful for our extra fridge and freezer.

I'm still working. I don't foresee that changing unless I get the virus. As law enforcement I'm deemed an essential service as is my wife who is a 911 Dispatcher. Business is slow but this time of year is generally significantly slower as Yellowstone is normally closed for the next month. With thee park closing indefinitely this could be a quiet summer. Right now Montana has 65 cases and my county has 24 of them. All my friends are first responders of some type. It is interesting listening to the EMS/Fire protocols vs Law Enforcement ones.

Still working, people need running water for all that furious hand-washing washing after all. It has dropped my calls quite a bit for the previous week or so though, I think many were busy preparing to isolate and are adjusting to the new ‘normal’. One pub client instantly went out of business with an outstanding balance from work that’s not even two weeks old yet, so I hope he comes around on that .
The main thing that’s changed is how much I wind up washing everything that I used on a job. I find myself cleaning my tools and vehicle dash/ steering wheel/ shifter/ key fob/ cell phone case, etc a lot too. It’s going to add time to every job. I expect necessity service calls to continue, but ‘nice option’ work to decrease significantly. Many clients are going to be getting very frugal by necessity. With a few hotels, churches and community halls on my client roster I expect their work will drop significantly too, being as they’ll all be empty for the foreseeable future. Those hotels needed me quite regularly
My wholesaler doesn’t let clients in anymore, I either call from the parking lot or use the online ordering feature of their website

Family is at home - I'm still working as our office hasn't closed (less than 20 people and maybe an essential service?). We've cancelled all external meetings and some people are working from home, but our technology needs make it difficult.
We don't go out except to get groceries once a week and for walks around the neighborhood.

Situation normal , not working these days anyway so I have been keeping myself busy loading ammo and trying to rearrange the garage - it's a losing battle until our landfill opens up again !

I'm curious how many of the 50+ who voted "Full Isolation" are actually doing that? From what I've seen, heard, and read, I'm guessing very few.

Why not? We do. We go out once per week for groceries.

From the drastic reduction in traffic volume, even at 'rush-hour' , I'd say that most are self-isolating. Many of the people who are 50+ might still fall into essential-services job categories, not all jobs can be accomplished from home offices. Frankly, if its an essential job, most of them likely can't be performed that way. I'm not that age quite category yet but its creeping up really quick.

Life is most the same as normal. Work home sleep repeat. I’m a farmer. Couple less trips into Lethbridge last few weeks maybe.
