I've been coughing like a dying animal for about two weeks, but I think it's probably stress induced more than anything else. no fever, no nothing, just my fail esophagus being big itchy.

Btw, test results were negative. So now I’m free to go outside again! Sorta. Everything is closed. But still! Granted I’m also stuck with an unexplained upper respiratory infection. Are you on the mend yet?

Report in... who’s life is unchanged, who’s working from home, and who’s been laid off or furloughed? How is everyone holding up?
I’m in MA and the state is shut down. I feel very fortunate (blessed, really) that everyone in my company is able to work from home.

My job just goes on as usual.
Well maybe not usual; plenty of "temporary but necessary procedures".
Of course, I work graveyard shifts so often and did so in the past that one could say I did social distancing before it was cool :v

Are you on the mend yet? Well I’m back to work. But no I’m not 100%. I’m in Michigan, near Detroit. Basically everything is locked downed but I work in healthcare so I’m still out and about, though minimally. Hours have been cut quite a bit too.

In self isolation as one of my housemates has come down with it, so far no symptoms myself but as I understand it I'm extremely likely to get it.
Working from home isn't proving too difficult, although the first week of isolation coinciding with the first week of nice weather we've had this year is frustrating!
Hope you're all hale and hearty!

Hope you're all hale and hearty! if you share a home with a sick person you're almost guaranteed to get infected. hope it won't hit you too hard. weather over here is fluctuating between very nice and meh, it's annoying to be stuck inside.

I work to support small and medium sized businesses. Needless to say I have been busy (at home). Phone almost doesn't stop ringing and emails are averaging about 300 to 400 a day ;-)

I wish I could work at home. Going outside is stressful as hell.

My family is so afraid of the disease that I can't even go outside to jog without everyone having a meltdown, so I don't leave the apartment at all. Being stuck inside all day long is starting to take its toll on me, I'll be honest.

Being stuck inside all day long is starting to take its toll on me, I'll be honest. Going out alone to run is perfectly safe. It's a virus that needs close proximity to make the jump. Not a magical zombie apocalypse.

I woke up in the middle of the night to strange clicking noises, and my first thought was 'it's Firetrucking roaches innit'. turn on the lights and there's two roaches. I'm seriously inches away from breaking the geneva convention over here.

Mind your posture, too. The foundation of good posture is in your feet.
