Otherwise known as Keep apart. Don't know how you can be social and keep your distance. (Should be called "Self Isolation"

Just think. If we all stay in our homes :- No death due to Auto accidents or Road Rage
No Store robberies (They are all closed)
No drive by shooting deaths.
No work related deaths
No deaths due to other communicable diseases

Only deaths due to Suicides caused by boredom

Staying at home will definitely have an affect on domestic violence!

All that arguing over whose turn it is to watch old sports OR how-to-remodel-your-house.

Oh, don't say that, some idiot in Congress will read it and add a ban to eating and alcohol in the relief bill.

This stay at home is probably ok with majority of people. They would rather text than have an old time (face to face) talk anyway. How much do you think the birth rates will go up? What a world we live in today!!

In the bedroom.

That was a question/answer (Paul Linde) on Hollywood Squares.

I violate your premise. I am a teacher and coach in Texas public schools, and my average day is 12 hours at work. I average about 5-5.5 hours of sleep daily and on the rare occasion I have both Saturday and Sunday 'off' I go out and hike or on a drive for photography, or into the bigger towns to see movies, pawn shop hop, or hit all the advertised garage sales. Summers KILL me with no work to do and the cost barrier to my driving, shopping, or hiking outings becoming more frequent. My wife calls me 'stir crazy' in summer when I get restless.

I'm stir crazy already, only 10 working days into this thing and CANNOT do any of the other diversions. Stores are closed and the neighboring state and national parks require me to drive through a state on 'lock down' so that is out too. I've already mowed the lawn, washed both cars, detailed the motorcycle, and watched all of the 20 or so old movies we recorded on DVR from TMC...... My restlessness and crabbiness has the wife is ready to murder me in by sleep, I think.....

We are doing just fine.

I am not bored. Most, if not all, of my usual subjects are still available for photographing.

The farms are still producing as usual, and the food chain is still working to some degree. My wife sometimes needs to adjust, but between our usual buffer and the stores’ usual buffer, we eat close to normal.
