Physical (formerly Social) Distancing Day 16
Actually I'm not feeling much of a sense of social distancing. In normal times I get together with friends for dinner on Saturday or Sunday and usually for the rest of the week I see no one. Maybe once in two months I will get together with someone for lunch. So I've only missed dinner out for two weekends so I haven't really felt it.
Yesterday was a rainy morning so I went for a walk thinking there wouldn't be very many people out and that was true. I stopped at the No Frills and was very pleased that they were limiting the number of people that could be in the store at one time. They had a guard on duty and tapes on the floor where you lined up six feet apart to wait for someone to leave. In the store they had similar tapes for the checkout lines. Most items had at least some stock on the shelves, the fresh produce area was fully stocked but again there was very little meat available.

Social Distancing - Day 14
During this time I have been out for groceries three times and down to the lobby to pick up my mail twice.
There was a repair person in yesterday to replace the smoke detector which had been beeping every few seconds for two weeks. Fortunately not very loudly and I couldn't hear it in the bedroom. Unfortunately it didn't help and the new unit is beeping in the same way. I'm leaving it as is since even though the repair guy wore an mask and kept well away from me I don't want anyone coming into my unit if I can avoid it.
I'm over 70 so being in the high risk of dying group I'm doing my best to be safe.
I'm not getting much exercise since I'm not getting out for walks as I normally would. I find there are just too many people (the majority walking dogs) for me to feel that I am comfortably maintaining a two meter separation.
I'm finding lots of video stuff to watch even though I don't have Netflix (yet!).
There's not problem finding reading material between the internet and ebooks.
What would this situation be like if we didn't have the internet?
