Working at Staying Isolated During Covid-19

Yes we are working at staying away from people during this Covid-19 spread.  We have a reasonable stock of food, and other expendables.  So we are staying away from stores as much as possible.  This came about largely because our youngest child is living with us at the moment after getting himself a Masters degree at college.  Now he is preparing for spending a year or more overseas on a Fullbright Scholarship while teaching english.  Yes, the logistics of that are a little sketchy at the moment for obvious reasons, but we are all still hopeful about him being able to do this. 

No, none of us have any symptoms.  Unfortunately before my son was relegated to working from home he attended a meeting at work.  One of the attendees several days later came down with some kind of flu.  He still has not received test results but is pretty sure he has Covid-19.  The fact that he has received no test results is abominable over a week later, but what can you do.  So, there is a chance our son was exposed which means there is a chance we have been exposed.  Not wanting to expose anyone else, we have decided to do the best we can at self quarantine.

Fortunately we are all pretty good at getting along with each other, but living together under these conditions does put a strain on relationships.  I never thought I would be looking forward to the heat in Phoenix, but I am.  I am hopeful that the heat will also bring a downturn in the infection rate around here.
