I kind of want to do a poll. Because, I've been wondering...does anyone have COVID-19? Does anyone's family or friends? Do you know people who have died from it?

[I know people who have had it, and people who have died. No one close to me has died, more distant, and an old guy at church who I'd gotten used to seeing and saying hello to.)

Is everyone in quarantine? To what extent? Are you opening up next week or have you done so already?

Do you feel this weirdness, where some people are living in the world of COVID and others seem to be oblivious...wandering about as if it's not an issue?

I live in Jersey - an island near the UK. We have had about 26 deaths declared, in a population of 110,000. Most people have behaved themselves - about a third wearing masks of some kind. There have been a few groups hanging out in out of the way places, but the Hemulens have been out and about in force, stopping people who were driving from one side of a 12 mile island to the other, and sending them back. Restrictions are just starting to slacken - we can meet up to 5 people not from our household, outdoors, with social distancing, and the bigger shops are allowed to open today. Garden centres stayed open throughout. I don't know anyone who has had it.
