Everyone is working hard to survive despite of the virus. Many frontliners and health professionals are risking their lives to save patients suffering from it. Innocent people getting infected because of stubbornness. How does it affects your life? Your relationship with your family, friends and love ones? What realizations did you have in this times?

@amitkokiladitya good thing we still have some things to do at home like surfing on the internet, watching television and thinking of some recreations. I do purchase through online shops to limit my outside purchases.

That's nice to hear from you. I hope everyone are slowly adjusting too. And to find antidote for the spreading virus worldwide. Do you go out to buy for your needs?

it does affect my daily life actually,
I can't hang out or meet up with friends so often right now, but I can stay more with my family
the important is, we have to prioritize our safety first

Same goes with me, I can't see my friends and family too. I am living in my workplace so it's quite difficult for me to see them on screen. I can't even touch them but as long as we are alive and healthy there will always be a chance to get back to what we used to do. Do you have house rules? Like your own family safety and health rules at home?

@hdcreative yeah I think hand washing is what more people usually do. But sometimes I directly take a bath when I get home.

I do not leave the house unless it is to go to the grocery store and I try to not do it very often. There were a few gatherings I went to but only because of my husband. I would not go otherwise.

@Sparksfly5 Next Sunday is my mother-in-law's birthday. According to my husband she will have a lot of people over. They live in an apartment. There is not a lot of space there for many people. I do not want to go if that is the case. But I feel like if I don't go there will be issues later.

That's awesome! It's very good to keep ourselves safe and make safety precautions at home in case you will have visitors or from outside the house. I do less going out too and avoid some group of people if I am outside.

Yes that's absolutely possible though it will be difficult to change what we used to, but then slowly we can adapt with the new changes. Let's just hope and pray that we overcome this crisis.

Thankfully, my husband is still able to work, which is good. The kids have been home since March. It hasn't always been easy, but we've made it work. Things are getting a little better here, and we're getting use to wearing masks and such. Things could be a lot worse, all things considering.

I feel relieved, knowing that there are still people who can manage their life even with the existence of a deadly virus. Your family safety is very important than anything else in this world. Protection is what we need now. Don't mind ourselves look like ninja turtle with face mask and a face shield as long as we are safe.

Staying home is always been normal but whenever I need to go out more than 5-10 kms always worry me in terms of vehicles

I realize that people that were nasty before the virus are nastier now.

Your lucky that the situation doesn't much affects your daily life. Lower income is way more better than unemployment in this times. Do you travel everyday for work?

I don't want to go out and take the risk. I only went out once - to have our dogs vaccinated at the vet clinic.

I like the idea of people thinking of staying at home is a time to spend for their own family. It's like giving us the virus to understand that life is not all about being busy working hard to live but also telling us the essence of life, surroundings and people around us. Though, there are still stubborn people.

The pandemic has made me embrace online learning since the universities were shut down
