Has the Coronavirus affected your daily life?

[PineyBoy]

Yes, it has hit all of us very hard. Yesterday they released new figures for our state:150,000 cases and over 10,000 dead. This is the highest in the country per 100,000. I'm down in the southern portion where its pretty rural and up north very urban and densly populated. Probably 90% of the cases are up in the northern cities of the state. Be safe.

I am just keeping my one outing once a week to the store.

Doing my part here.

All I can do for now.

Not much has really changed for me between now and the past 3 years or so taking care of a parent.

I used to go out twice a week or every other day to the store, but other than that it was the same for the most part.

Getting older now at 55 so....

My mom and I used to take the car for errands every day multiple times per day. Now we do it maybe once every two to three weeks. We went to Pete's or Starbucks for drinks and breakfast items at least three times per week before SARS-CoV-2 hit.

I try to stretch it to once every three weeks, but that means that I have to purchase enough goods when I go to the supermarket. We never quite make it three weeks, but we are close. Milk is the commodity that brings me back out. If not for expiring milk or running out of milk, we could go more than a month between supermarket runs. We use milk for breakfast cereal, the dog gets milk every day, and for my mom's tea...possibly cooking too.

When I do go out for an errand I have to clean off the elastomeric full face respirator that I have. I use isopropyl alcohol for the rubber contacting my face inside and outside of the mask, and glass cleaner for the inside and outside of the clear portion.

I think we have used a little more than a quarter of a tank of gas over the last three months!

Meh, still working like normal. I used to stop at the grocery store everyday and now I go once a week. Enjoying low gas prices. Covid Has made it harder to spend money so I have been buying some new toys. Got a new compound bow and a couple new guns. Been turkey hunting a lot. There seems to be more folks out hunting than normal. Getting the garden ready. Had a big fire last night and drank a lot of beer. Businesses are reopening here so I am excited to belly up to the bar at my favorite watering hole again.

Great minds think alike. :D

Don't have as much hair as I used to anyway so it's no real loss. :D

And it's all grey. :eek:

I like keeping my hair short, and luckily the last haircut I got in late February or so was super-short. So my hair is still clean-cut, but it does grow fast. Who knows when’s the next time I’ll be able to gat another haircut safely again. In younger years, I had a big mane of hair (‘70s and ‘80s), and at one point in the ‘90s I grew my hair long (reaching below my shoulder blades). And my hair still grows thickly. But I much prefer buzz cuts as I get older.

I'm a fitted hat guy most of the time (always a curved brim) I have a full head of hair, though a bit salt and pepper and only turning 37 next Wednesday.

I'm not a big fashion guy, so I've never cared much about my hair either. For a good 15 years I cut it myself. a 4 on top, 2.5 on the sides and back. Whatever I'm feeling at the time for sideburns/beard? My wife is amazed at how even and straight I can do it on my own (I'm ambidextrous, though right hand dominant)

[bearfacedkiller]

I have been cutting my own hair for many years as well. Gave it a number 3 about a week ago and gave my son a number 2. It is tick season here so I gotta keep it short. Already pulled four of those evil things off me this month. Probably about due for my annual blood test and month of antibiotics. :mad:

So how has Coronavirus affected me? Well, I am still WAY more freaked out about tick born illnesses than Coronavirus. There was a vaccine for Lyme years ago but it got pulled from the market for some complicated reasons. I wish we were as focused on finding a vaccine or cure for Lyme as we are for Covid.

Still hasn't really affected me. I figured I would have been furloughed, but I've been making more money than ever. My savings account is coming back, putting some money in my kiddos savings, getting stuff for the house (built the kid a swingset, new laptop for me to do things on the road, some knick knacks my wife wanted...).

If anything, I'm super lucky and this pandemic has been super profitable for me. Just glad I don't deal with normal population. Hate I'm away from home but I'm making money and saving money and my bills are paid and family is taken care of.

Wife does go shopping every so often, we have supplies. It's all good! Hope everyone else is doing well, and hope this gets over with sooner rather than later!

I hear ya Rick.
I like a fade on the sides. I just cant do that myself.
