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 have a couple of acquaintances who are in the "probably have/had it but there aren't any tests available" category. No fatalities in my circle of acquaintances, though at one step out I've had a bunch.

I'm in a small town in the north of British Columbia. I don't actually know many people here but it seems that everyone is taking "stay at home" seriously. (I haven't seen any masks, though.)

We're supposedly reopening in a small way starting this coming weekend. I am... mildly concerned.

It's strange for me because this isn't so different from how I live my life most of the time: I stay home, I work from home, I see my partner (we're isolating as a unit despite living in different places) and no one else. It's only a problem because I'm usually back in Vancouver one week out of four, and I'd planned a couple of trips back to the States for April and May.
