That's fairly smart, actually. Are these timeframes decided locally/by municipality, I assume?

Yes, city governments

The virus hasn’t spread to any rural areas yet, India is weird because the cities are extremely dense while rural areas in between seem like a desert void of population

Somehow, I've got enough Tylenol and Mucinex to kill a horse, probably from the flu I caught a few months back. If it's really the Rona this time 'round, I can ride this out in my apartment.

Doggy might have to stay inside. I dunno. Get a cat, cats are good at staying inside.

In the UK you can still take your dog for a walk, once a day. If there are multiple people in the house then they can each take the dog for a separate walk as long as they are not together. So, the wife could take the dog out for a walk in the morning, the husband could take the dog out for a walk in the afternoon, and their kid could take the dog out for a walk in the evening. But they couldn't all go out together three times. So the dog still gets the three walks it usually gets per day without the owners breaking the rules.

It's in times like these that I'm specially happy that my family has ties to one of the pharmaceutical workers' union. We have enough meds, hospital-grade hand sanitizer and paper tissues to make it through multiple plagues.

I wish I'd bought tofu before the quarantine though.

They're having me wait a few days. Flag, surprisingly, has drive-thru testing, but I'm hearing mixed messages about whether or not the test kits have run out. Was thinking of checking out that route, but I suppose my biggest concern is potentially infecting someone with something I only might have at one of those mobile testing facilities.

Either way, I'm not too anxious yet, it's sort of a wait and see sorta deal, though I am a little anxious about whether or not this is something that'll go away or if I'm just gonna be another active case number on the NYT tracker. That would suck massive balls.

I figured there was probably a provision for it, but San Lumen is like, “What if I can’t take my dog outside?!” like it’s the most important thing in the world right now. Though, yes, puppy mental health is also important for puppy physical health.

Mind you fever is good because the higher body temprature is kill for the virus. (if it is that) It indicates your body is fighting it.

Also you have noticed any loss or decreasing of ability to smell or taste things?

Yeah, I have friends I love dearly who absolutely are woke sjw's of the worst kind. They exasperate me sometimes, but I still love them.

Uhhh, I genuinely hadn't thought about the taste/smell thing, is that seriously a symptom? If so, Imma be frantically trying to smell random objects at my place.
