Hey all!
Update: Our quarantine starts tonight. Because there were still too many people not taking it seriously enough. So no more "it would be nice if you stayed at home" but now more a "stay at home, or else...".
Thank God my husband is now able to do home office. His firm has established a strict time frame in which the groups have to work in shifts, because the server is not made for everyone doing home office at the same time. Today is his first day working at home. ;)
His hours are good for the family schedule, because he works either when the kids are still sleeping or when I come home from the hospital.
And I'm so proud of my little daughter. She finally managed to drive her bike. I hope tomorrow will be at least a little bit sunny, so she can try again. The last two days were nice and warm. Up to 20°C and sunny. Lots of birds singing spring flowers opening, ants walking into my socks ;D and bugs flying into my face while driving my bike. LOL

Hi Regen, exactly the same happened here. Too many people going to the beach (in other cities, Buenos Aires has a river but not beach) or gathering at the parks, for instance. And then, a few special stupid cases.
1) a man (let's call him A) in a province received word of an ex-flame (B) who basically wanted to cheat on her husband with A. B lived in another province, and the two of them met at her house. Then B told A that she has arrived from Spain a few days ago...and that she was feeling a little ill. A did not care and they do..well, all. But then is when it gets crazy. A decided to get back to his province, where his friends invited him to a bbq party. He went and jokingly commented about his "adventure". People reacted logically, denounced it to the authorities and the whole town (aprox. 2500 people) went in quarantine since a few days ago. Now A and B are confirmed positive to COVID.
2) an Argentinian man in Uruguay was in observation for Covid, in a hospital. He escaped and took a boat (around 400 people) back home. The Uruguays discovered that he escaped and warned our authorities before the boat arrived here. So now the 400 people are in quarantine here (they allowed them to arrive and isolated them in several hotels specially for them)

Unfortunately stupidity seems to be in human nature.
:(
I made pizza today. Now I'm very sated. There is enough left for tomorrow. Yummy. And yes, Fcrate, I make the dough myself.
I don't mind staying home. I have lots of books. There is enough to do. Even for the kids. That's no problem. We won't get bored. I will go to work, he will do home office. The kids will stay at home.
But I feel with the small enterprises, my brother in-law's little lab, the local bookstore, the little stationary shop, the little coffee shop,... They all had to close.
I hope they survive. Some may have invested in online shops. When they are open again, I will got inte every one in the main village and buy something, even if I don't need it. And convince others to do so as well.
PilgrimDan:
Imagine working for a restaurant that has to close for a month. You're screwed, employment wise, even if you're the owner.
Dina:
Yes, of course this will be terrible for the economy, specially for small stores.
I am surprised to say that McDonald's and other similar places here have closed (not even take-away. Definitely close). I think that is good but I hope their employees have not salary restrictions.
The gov. have announced that they will help many business to pay salaries but I am not sure about implementation though.
Regen, that sounds so great. I've managed to do some work today but this weekend (which was a long weekend long before the crisis) I will try to just rest.
