It's been 26 days for me. I started working only from home at the behest of my company, but it makes sense for me anyway. I have two family members with compromised health that could make them particularly vulnerable to covid-19, so every contact I have is another chance that I might bring home illness and even death.
I have been out of the house on cautious walks with Sherry, but I've also been to a few stores. We receive grocery deliveries that mostly sit on the dining table for days before being placed in the pantry, but cold things have to be dealt with quickly. Washing or wiping them down, we try to inhibit their ill effects. We wash our hands often and thoroughly.
The Spanish flu lasted roughly two years. Can we keep this up for that long? I wonder if cabin fever will bring about a second wave.
