Wherever You Are, Whatever You Are Doing
Could you continue to live indefinitely the way you do now?
Whatever stage of restrictions, if any, you endure now, could you see yourself continuing to endure for any amount of time going forward?
As for me, I have stayed in the house, ordered groceries and dog food over the internet, and spent my time in Forum and watching Netflix. I realized recently that this is very little different than my 2019 life, and I could do this until it’s time for assisted living.

BTW, I’m not afraid of COVID. I’m not even afraid of death. But I am afraid of suffocation, and I’ve had a taste of that without having COVID, as far as I know.
If you think that respiratory failure from COVID is no big deal, just ask a friend to waterboard you for about 15 min.

Yes, I think suffocation would be one of the worst ways to go..commonsense wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 11:19 pm BTW, I’m not afraid of COVID. I’m not even afraid of death. But I am afraid of suffocation, and I’ve had a taste of that without having COVID, as far as I know.

No restrictions and no Covid here - so out and about - a friend lives in Victoria, he can barely go outside to fart.

Has COVID affected you in no way at all? I mean, for example, like shortages at the grocery or hardware store?attofishpi wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 11:26 pmYes, I think suffocation would be one of the worst ways to go..commonsense wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 11:19 pm BTW, I’m not afraid of COVID.

Also: Victoria, British Columbia or Victoria, Australia?
Re: Wherever You Are, Whatever You Are Doing
Regarding "suffocation", please see my references in another thread to medical care of dyspneoa .
Much suffering is caused by anxiety, which can be allayed.

yes

except for the first week, back at the end of march, I've paid no attention to any restrictions...largely, things have been business as usual for me

Re: Wherever You Are, Whatever You Are Doing
Where is that thread, please?
My experience included no drugs but there was a definite anxiety. It’s my understanding that anxiety per se is a sx of suffocation and that medical management includes morphine and anxiolytics.
Re: Wherever You Are, Whatever You Are Doing
That thread is " 2020 not Safe For Anyone". Morphine and anxiolytics are drugs of choice according to what I've been reading since you alerted me.commonsense wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 4:13 pmWhere is that thread, please?

Of course! I actually read that when you posted it, as well as the excellent Scottish guidelines. Thanks again for that.Belinda wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 7:37 pmThat thread is " 2020 not Safe For Anyone".

Re: Wherever You Are, Whatever You Are Doing
Sorry, forgot about this question. Initially in South Aust. we had a small outbreak and so fitness clubs, pubs & restaurants\cafes etc.. were shutdown due to distancing requirements and number restrictions, people that could were required to work from home. Outdoor, park gatherings became limited to people only within you own household.commonsense wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 12:03 amHas COVID affected you in no way at all?

No restrictions and no Covid here - so out and about - a friend lives in Victoria, he can barely go outside to fart.
The numbers didn't get much above 10\day from recollection, and contact tracing was handled well. All the states closed their borders to interstate travel.
There has been no community transmission for probably two months - only recorded cases of infection are from intl arrivals, that are forced to quarantine in hotels that are locked down.
Victoria made a balls-up by using private security bozos to secure the quarantine hotels. There is video footage of them sleeping on the job, allowing people to mingle in smoking areas, and even sleeping with arrivals. These guys would then go home and hence now infected, transmitted the virus throughout the Vic. community.
The rest of Australia forced hard border closures to Victoria. Finally now that they have had severe lockdowns (really bad for business) they are averaging about 5 cases\day. (as opposed to about 40,000\day which i think the US and Europe are seeing) ..so they are about to start easing restrictions again.
But yes, things in this state have been pretty much BAU.
