    Part of the reason for this, is the UK can be just as bad as the USA and they say "No, I want to go out for a pint with my friend!" or something some such.  

    This is exactly the point. for example, have a look at the difference between the first lockdown in may to this one.

     

    First

    Speeds surged and delays plummeted on major roads when lockdown was  introduced | Keighley News

     

    Second

    10,000 deaths from air pollution in China prevented by coronavirus lockdown,  study finds

     

    same part of the motorway, massive difference. if I didn't know better I wouldn't think we are in a lockdown.... way too casual.

    We are doing okay. There is no covid in Thailand but lack of tourists means economic insecurity. I'm feeling that a bit job wise, too although I'm not in the tourist industry. I'm also struggling with mental health a bit too which is frustrating because I really thought I was starting to get on top of it. But really things are good, we have jobs and we are healthy. 

     

    Great to hear this @hirondelle

    HIHI!
    We are doing alright, Some days I get a little stir crazy and I am badly missing the family I was "adopted" into. My grandma died (not from covid) recently and I had not seen her in forever (because of Covid) so I am still struggling with that, but I reconnected with my bio dad and am trying to get to know him, he is in the hospital and had been for months so I go see him.
    Hubby still has a job, though they keep sending him home early, but we are better off than a lot of people. While Canada is pretty bad for Covid at least we are not in America so that is something. 

     

    Hi @PyroCJ, sorry to hear about your grandma, loosing a love one in death is never a easy thing. as @Timberwolf said, glad to hear you are reconnecting with you father, hope all goes well.

    As @hirondelle has said, we are doing well.  No Covid in Thailand, which is good.  I'm recovering quite well from my knee surgery.  I've been back to hockey once, and it felt good.  Plus, I've been back to karate for 3 classes.  I can't wait for the next karate night and the next hockey night.  I'm also preparing for a hockey tournament that's coming up here at the end of the month.  

     

    I'm sad to hear about your grandmother @PyroCJ, but happy that you are reconnecting with your bio dad.  

     

    UK has gone back into lockdown again for a full month. cases here have rocketed again.

    We have been good Deano. Thailand is a lovely country to be "trapped" in. Just wish COVID had caused people to use discussion boards more hahaha 

    I have been watching Mark Wien (foody 😀) and I have been seeing some lovely places I would love to visit. Very green and beautiful country. 

     

    I hear that too. But from what I have seen is folks are drawn more to social media for updates during COVID our discussion board. as you and Dom know, as admins most of our work are behind the sense trying new things, testing new things etc so its hard to maintain a good and strong presents with all that is going on. but we still push on nonetheless 🤪🤪.

    Hey @Deano.  Things are starting to get serious here as well.  The government today has asked that people go out as little as possible.  Less than a week ago, they asked that all entertainment venues close, so pubs, bars, movie theaters, massage parlors (:roffles:) were to close.  Pubs and bars could get around it by saying they are restaurants if they served food though.

    hey bro, things are serious here now. as of today March 23, 2020 all McDonald's are closed until further notice, pubs restaurants and all football matches have been cancelled. restrictions were put on funerals where only a handful amount can attend a funeral. Schools are now closed, many business gone bust..... its just horrible star. 

    saying that, I'm still at work and my family and I are doing okay for now. 

    supermarkets shelves are empty, cant get toilet tissues, rice, flour etc.

    I don't recall there being many gamers here, but maybe I'm misremembering.

    What are you playing? Video games, board games, naked Twister, whatever.

    love gaming, motor racing fan. I mostly play Forza and minecraft (more so minecraft) these days.
