Dammitttt!!!!!!,
I hate this, usually I shed like water, most things, however, this is really getting to me.
Yesterday, my Son, who was returning from Mexico, drove into my driveway, stayed in his vehicle, and told me he couldn't stop and spend any time as he wouldn't take the chance of giving us any germs he may have contacted , felt bad as this was only the 2nd time in 16 years I have seen him and thought I may never see him again.
Just thought I should go to the store and get eggs, bread, and English muffins, I'M SCARED !!!, they have given me, at 87 yrs old, and been to many county fairs, fought a few heavy fights, and raised a healthy family, a fear of even leaving my home. Am I alone ? Hell, the stores are loaded.
You bettcha! oofta!

Your son loves you. You are not alone. It was my momโs birthday yesterday On Wednesday, I took a shower and scrubbed with chlorhexidine then wiped down with chlorox wipes before entering her home. While I visited I maintained a six foot distance.
Until we have widely available testing we have to take lots of precautions
Give your son a phone call
I would avoid stores if possible.

Well your son was right. You are definitely a high risk candidate and should be cautious.
You could go when stores 1st open and pick up a few things from a list and probably be ok. Less customers, less chance of contact with the virus.

Sorry you are hurting trebor- This situation we are in DOES suck right now, it just does- I have a lot of respect for you and things you have done in your life- I know you have to be very disturbed for you to post this-
Hang in there buddy-
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

Right there with you. have been on lock down for a week now. My wife stays on the second floor of the house to avoid contact with me. Shes been going out daily. And doing the things i normally do. Yesterday my son came by. He brought a six pack. I was already stocked with beer. We drank i in the drive while he stayed in the truck. Very weird and lonely when you think about how much time we spend together.

Hang tight. Stay safe. Stay strong! Hopefully you'll get to see your son for an extended visit as soon as this blows over.

I really havenโt gone anywhere in the past several days, however, my son, home from college, is hanging out with his gf and buddies going in and out of the house all the time. I told him if he brings that virus home he will pay dearly

Have a patio visit in the backyard - drink a couple beers (or coffee, or whatever). If it helps both of you feel better, give him his stuff in disposable or travel mugs.
Be practical - probably not a good idea to hug, but sitting across a patio table and visiting ought to be reasonably safe.
