Share with us how you enjoy your time during lockdown time and home stay?

My life has not changed too much due to the lockdown time and home stay....why would that be you may ask?? The answer is because I am at home most of the time to begin with and have been that way due to being disabled with a hereditary genetic neurological disease that I was born with called Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) So it has been a bit easier for me because I have a lot of experience (30+ yrs)  I play a lot of pc games..Diablo II, Hidden Object Games and do a lot of research on various topics of interest. Though I can easily understand how more physically active people can find being quarantined and locked down difficult.

If you have an experience with Corona virus (Covid-19 virus), you may share it with us.

I do not any any personal experience with Covid-19. Both my wife and I are both at very high risk due to a number of personal factors (age, genetic conditions, medical history etc...)
We take all of the necessary precautions. We go out only when we need to. We wash and sanitize our hands many times a day. We wear a mask every time we go out. We wipe down just about everything we buy when we get back home.

I'm originally from the USA ( Wisconsin) and I got married 10 years ago and have lived in Canada for the last 10 years.
I'm not very happy with how the USA is dealing with this pandemic. Living in Canada has made me see the USA in a very different way.

Thank you so very much for this giveaway. Living through this pandemic has made me appreciate all that I have.

Sometimes I just want it to stop. Talk of
Covid, protests, looting, brutality. I lose my
way. Become convinced that this "new
normal " is real life.
But, then I meet an 87 year old who talks

of living through Polio, diphtheria, Vietman)
protests and yet is still enchanted with life.
He seemed surprised when I said that
2020 must be especially challenging for
him. "No", he said slowly looking me
straight in the eyes, " I learned a long time

ago to not see the world through the
printed headlines, I see the world through
the people that surround me. I see the
world with the realization that we love big
Therefore, I just choose to write my own

headlines. "Husband loves wife today. "
"Family drops everything to come to
Grandmas bedside." He patted my hand "
Old man, makes new friend".
His words collide with my worries, freeing
them from the tether I had been holding

tight. They float away. I am left with a
renewed spirit. My headline now reads "
woman overwhelmed by the spirit of
kindness and the reminder that our
Capacity to love is never ending "
