How much is COVID-19 affecting your life now?

[Yonah]

Aside from Pesach, even the pre-pesach may be an issue. The bigger question is what happens if/when they expand quarantines, which would limit workers showing up for work and availability for the crush of delivery requests for people who can't go out to shop. For those who are living this now in Westchester, there has been a multitude of kosher delivery options from stores outside our immediate area, but if those communities start to face the same restrictions, it will change the dynamic.

Case in point. I order pizza for delivery today at 10:45, it showed up at 3pm. That's with only 3-4 small communities in quarantine.

How does it work? Are your kids able to be quarantined while you are able to walk freely around the house

Anecdotally, from what I have heard, how people are handling self quarantine vs the CDC recommended procedures are very different.  CDC requirements aren't really realistic, especially for those who live in apartments and/or have small kids.

Ridiculous. The infected person deserves to go to jail if he recovers from the virus

I have a trip planned for the end of this month to DC. I had a Pentagon tour and NBA game booked, both of which are now canceled. I'm assuming other attractions will follow suit. Right now I have a non-refundable Marriott reservation, which doesn't fit the current waiver. Anyone have any luck canceling anyway?

Anyone want to take a gander at how is this going to affect the supply chain for kosher for Pesach food?

Rabbi Elefant from OU said their pesach stuff is here since January. He doesn’t know what happens after pesach as they’re short on mashgichim in many places.

The pneumologist said she could visit so she's going. I hope it all works out.

Meanwhile my wife's grandmother is in the hospital with an unknown illness (probably pneumonia). She was tested for COVID-19 on Monday and they sent the test to Albany. On Tuesday the hospital got permission to run their own tests, but they won't retest her because she has a pending test. It's now Thursday afternoon with no results from Albany. And they won't treat her because they don't know what she has. And they won't allow visitors

Lots of people calling my dad what they should do if they think they got the virus
