Weird? Pretty much.
Arjan:
I am working from home since March, just the normal work I used to do at the office. I do miss regular contact with some people but I do see my family more often and got a better bonding with my cats.
Worst thing happened is that one of the person who took care of my son got Corona and we had to keep him home and quarantaine for ten days.
And we had to cancel a trip to France. Did not want to risk it. Just first world problems really.
Dina:
LOL, you can watch Emily in Paris. I've actually been in Paris a few days ago and I began watching Emily in Paris just to try to see a little of the city. So pretty. (Only episode 4, I believe). It has handsome men to watch too :D
Hubby and I are working from home since March too, and in the first semester I give my classes (I am a TA at the university) via Zoom. It was very different, very interesting and weird. It was also surprisingly pleasant, I liked it.
Arjan:
It is just that my son has severe autism and we can only do short trips when he is in the respite home for a few days. We can not really risk not getting home on time and things were unreliable with sudden new travel bans popping up on a daily base.
We went to Paris a few years ago, I wanted to see the Louvre and the statue of Gudea in particular.

We tried to find it but every time we found a route it was blocked because another room was closed because of la Greve. We just were lucky our train did depart, others did not.
Dina:
Well, even without any children I wouldn't risk a travel to Paris, is too uncertain (in fact, I don't think my country is allowing trips to France right now. I mean, yes, you can go, it's the coming home what I don't think it is allowed).
How is your son taking the quarantine measures?

Better than we thought actually but he is more tiresome because all kind of outdoor activities he liked and tired him a bit became difficult. He liked crowds and eating spicy food and that is a bit problematic now.
I wouldn't go to Paris now even if it was allowed because all those measures make a city trip too complicated and not enjoyable anyway.
