How are you all doin through this coronavirus thin

Here in Maryland we have taken all kinds of steps to adjust to the coronavirus situation.  Schools closed, restaurants closed except for carry out, bars closed, local transportation system adjusted for less traffic, stores crowded and some shelves empty, Church closed, older people - like me - told to stay home, many people are forced to stay home, are about all I can think of now.  I know there are more things that have happened.

Me and mom have not been out of the house for a week and a half now. Got lots of tea makings and food previously put up, plenty of TP. We are good for at least a month and a half or better. Just hope neither of us goes into Afib, that's our Achilles heel for now. Just need the gas, electric, and water to stay on till it's warmer up here.

Dixie has not been out of the house for two weeks. She signed up for meals on wheels for last week so one good meal is brought in mid day each day. With a little something late afternoon we are good at our age sitting around. I am ready to start my 4th week in physical therapy Tues. and Thurs. I did stop in at Rural King at Angola Indiana for feed last Thursday. No cases identified in Steuben County Indiana yet. The hospital where I get physical therapy wipes every thing any one touches. I think I am safe there. The emergency rooms are at the other end of the building with different entrances. They say I need to continue the therapy as it is an extension of the surgery.
For Walmart and Meijer's we can buy on line and they load it in our car. We have done both once three weeks ago.      

Watching a lot of old cowboy movies on you-tube. Lone Ranger, Roy Rodgers, Bonanza, Have gun Will Travel, and more

Wondering, since we represent a lot of area in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and some in Asia, what steps are you required to take to meet this emergency.     In any event wish all my fellow forum members the very best. Good Luck! Bill Long

Our life hasn't changed much. We only left the farm to go to town one day a week and out to dinner one weekend night. We stay at home and eat now and the trip to town is just grocery . I have plenty to work on in the shop. Changed the motor in riding lawnmower last week and changed a transmission line 3 times till I got a good one on the truck. Mower parts and transmission lines came from Rock Auto and Amazon on line. Working on some fences and going to cut, split and stack some wood this week and train on a horse or two.

Up here in northern MN about the same as the rest of you,  I am thankful for my shop, no tractor work for now but I have been building a flywheel engine this winter.   Wife still is on the local F>D> as an EMT.   Sure hope they don't get a corona virus related call as that could end up doing me in if I get it.  

Here in Ithaca, it feels like the calm before the storm. Hospital has cancelled all elective surgeries. Since I am with the hospital, my dental office is pretty much the only one open in the county so I am busier than I should be. No one is paying bills and I don't blame them but I want to make sure staff get's paid. Got one single mom who works for me and a couple other with husbands who got laid off so payroll first and everyone else will have to wait. Upstate I don't think will get hit hard but the city could get bad. Cuomo says the city has 1/3 the ventilators it needs but there is no way he has the md's needed to run them.

Hi to all my fellow Allis mates. We are going pretty well here in Australia. We are not really in lock down still able to go and get supplies from most businesses. They have cancelled many events including a large rally we have at Easter at the largest ag musuem in the Southern Hemisphere (Wheatlands) at Warracknabeal. Was a shame as I had a CASE 600 header ready to harvest some wheat for the CASE feature this year. All outdoor events of 500+ people have been cancelled and 100+ people indoors. Most businesses are still open as for us farmers we are gearing up for planting our crops so we need chemical, fert & seed etc.

Wife is off work from school, restaurants closed except drive thru or delivery. I’m still hauling hogs to market like a madman. No change on that front

I am in NY State right on the Canadian border (5 miles to Quebec - 12 miles to Ontario) which is closed. This is tough for us since one of my daughters and her family live in Quebec (about 15 miles from us). We don't know when we will see them next.

I’m a carpenter working for a pharmacy- doing home modifications so handicapped and elderly can more easily stay in their homes! In Nebraska we have four counties-one is mine-with restriction of no more then 10 people together. We are working, BUT, my projects are building outdoor ramps-I know of 4! Problem is it’s raining! I’ve been 8 hours short each week for 2 weeks now, not from the virus but from the Weather!

Atleast the soul is healthier because of this.
