The. basic meds help. But there are times it is still pretty bad.

How are you?

[JJH85]

Pretty healthy right now. I haven't gotten my annual cold as of yet, so I'm glad about that and at this point there is no Covid-19 in our Province. Canada did have it's first Covid-19 death today though, but it is on the opposite coast, so we are still good here.

[Cadenf]

Which side do you live on?

I am supposed to go to Italy this summer for a huge birthday trip. As of now Italy is basically shut down. I have 4 months though.

[JJH85]

I'm on the East Coast.

I was talking to someone today who is booked to go to Italy in June. I wonder how things will be by then.

[Cadenf]

My trip is scheduled for July. So in 4 months I hope it is better. Although can they really keep Italy closed forever?

[JJH85]

Time will tell. I hope things slow down soon.

[Cadenf]

Didn't China start getting better already?

[JJH85]

I heard that about 70%-80% have recovered from the Virus. It is still spreading, but not at as high a rate as before due to certain precautions put in place.

[Cadenf]

Which is great news.

Our entire state schools are closed until the 31st.

Hi everyone, I'm back. I had to come home as I have a chest infection (nothing to do with covid-19 ) but I needed medication so got in touch with my doctor. They are only doing consultations over the phone and by E-mail so they gave me a week's supply of antibiotics and told me to get back in touch if I get worse. I suppose I'm a high risk person if I did get the virus as I suffer from asthma, so let's hope I stay clear. The government is just starting to put measures in place over here and all major sporting events have been postponed, if not cancelled. The main reason is that it drains resources like medical and law enforcement who may be needed elsewhere.

My mother is home from hospital now and seems to be recovering from the fall and a nasty bout of sickness which may have been caused by the pain relief for her broken arm. When I'm better I will go back if I'm needed, we'll just have to wait and see.

[Cadenf]

Welcome back.

I hope you feel better soon.

[LWS53]

I don't really feel ill but the cough and wheezing keep me awake at night and the antibiotics are upsetting my stomach and making me tired.

[Cadenf]

I hate coughing if I have to go out in public..it's like I have allergies AND a sinus infection leave me alone!

[JJH85]

Sorry to hear you are ill, but thankful it's not related to Covid. Welcome back Lesley.

I think the antibiotics are finally working, as I have had 2 nights of unbroken sleep. I am still staying indoors and away from non family members just in case I catch it. Everyone has been advised not to go to restaurants, pubs cinema or theatres. A lot of big sporting and entertainment events have been cancelled, not because of risk of infection but the police, medics etc will be needed elsewhere. People are being brought home from holidays in affected countries who have closed all their facilities. It looks like a lot of major disruption for the foreseeable future, maybe til next year.
