Title: How about a roll call?
Post by: shaun on April 15, 2020, 08:51:12 am: Just sitting here wondering how people are with the pandemic.

My wife and I are healthy and surviving.

Hoping everyone else is too.

I wish you all well. Too many people are dying in the USA and UK.

I see US NBC news every morning and cannot believe the number of people that are on the beach or in the park yesterday.

Having no lockdown is costing a lot of lives. UK started that late but is paying the price now.

Post by: Rhonald on April 16, 2020, 04:16:59 pm: Cindy & I are here doing so so. Had a scare last week due to a blood clot in my left leg - taking blood thinners now. Got let go from my 27 year job with Weatherford. My wife's shop has complied with the quarantine closer for the past month. Her business was slowly moving away from Pedicure/Manicure & Massage to Massage, Acupuncture, Chinese traditional medicine and supplements & Herbs for pain management & health. But now zero income. Willy how big is Usana around your neck of the woods? Seems like many Chinese are into this MLM.

Post by: Willy The Londoner on April 16, 2020, 08:51:33 pm: Usana cannot be that big here yet. My wife has not been talked into it being used on me yet!

So i have not heard of it until now. It sounds like another MLM scheme.

Post by: Philip on April 17, 2020, 05:00:37 am: I'm in Hong Kong with my wife and son. We are fine. Schools have been closed since January. Even though the Hong Kong boss (Carrie Lam) is a Beijing puppet, she was forced to take action quickly under pressure from most people and especially the medical profession. She closed most of the border entries, closed schools and public workers were made to work from home. In three months, with over 7 million population tightly packed together, we have had only 4 deaths. Up until recently, we had just over a 100 cases, but with the 2nd wave of HongKongers returning from Europe, there are more than a 1000. But as soon as they get to the airport, they are tested and then quarantined. Without being told, 99 per cent of the people wear face masks and everyone washes hands scrupulously. They are compliant. Most remember SARS in 2003 and learned that lesson the hard way.
Feel sorry for my 2 nursing sisters in the UK. Incompetence on a huge scale happening there.

Jing & I are doing just great. We are in N.E.China (long way from Wuhan).. a city pop of +8million w/ a few dozen sick. no deaths.
Life is pleasantly disgusting. being hygienically careful does have its benefits.. we stay home except for when we are out & about for food & necessities.
we do not watch any t.v. Our sex life is much busier. We stay clean... we shower a lot. Since the so- called "spas"/ massage parlors are shut,
we massage each other.. lovingly so. Life is quite liberating when it comes down to basic necessitates. as they say, "China wife.. happy life". 哈哈哈

I was just thinking general population.. maybe be a world baby boom a few months out. make love/ not war . good things happen.

Post by: JohnB on April 21, 2020, 08:54:42 am: Willy..
in this day of incarceration, there is only one of two things. Either you love your wife or not.
The contagion will force the issue. Since there is a lot of 'personal' time affected, it is a good test
of love or forced endurance of the other. 哈哈哈

Quora has all the answers if there is confusion.

I hope you are well these days.. your humor is enjoyed.

We are well and coping the best we can.

Post by: Pineau on July 09, 2020, 10:33:03 am: Checking in to say we are still alive and hiding from COVID.

Fiona and Katie are working. Fiona is very careful about PPE but we are still sleeping in separate rooms.

Katie on the other-hand is a big girl but does not a have a complete brain yet. She has no idea what social distance means.

I have started a project to put a 1 bedroom apartment in our basement for her to live. Schools here are online only and she claims she cannot learn well without a teacher so she will be skipping enrollment in the fall semester.
