Stop watching the news:
Seems cases are plateauing in some countries like Italy. So social distancing and lockdowns are working. That’s some good news. We have to hold on to hope.

I really don’t know how we can maintain this state of fear/alertness/isolation for a year… 
Well it’s not as bad as the people in world war 2
You guys in Taiwan are not on lockdown right ?
Not yet anyway…
Mine have been ok generally, but I did have one where a nuke went off in the distance, I’m bracing for the fallout wind or whatever…then when it came, I didn’t wake up, it just turned into some sort of pre-wind or something. In the dream I actually thought, if it were a dream i would have woken up, and started anticipating a next wave of radiation or something.
So fun! But at least when the nightmare is over, you’re in your bed, probably.

I think that adds to the tension. We are living our lives normally, yet the feeling is that we are waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Did have a strange one last night where this friend told one of his friends to go tell this girl
He liked her
Never mind the rest is x rated

Wow !
And my cats were acting up real bad all at h The same time
Took whopper out for a walk around 8 pm and I’ve never seen him like this
He insisted on a walk then started growling and hissing non stop then ran around the place tugging at the lease one lap around the complex pool and then immediately headed home after I said let’s go home following every direction to turn left and right on command
As there were several ways back
Weird

@Andrew0409 I am guessing by the username number and the birthday 
it is your birthday. If so, Happy Birthday! I can’t imagine a birthday in isolation but, hey, at least someone you don’t know and is on the other side of the world remembered you.
Wish you lots of health and imune system. Enjoy the time with your family and fiancée and have a delicious meal
