Another day of working from home for us!
I've been working remotely since 2/28, after I went home because my voice was starting to get hoarse. I subsequently had a phlegmy cough that I couldn't get rid off and didn't want people throwing stones at me for bringing germs into work. Thankfully, I haven't had a fever so I think it's just a sinus congestion. Microsoft and RealSelf (and a bunch of other companies) officially directed non-essential employees to work from home last week due to Coronavirus fears so now we've been home for about a week and a half and this is the new normal!
The Coronavirus craze is real here in Bellevue. The freeways are virtually empty because no one is commuting anymore. Costco and other stores have been out of TP and other "essentials" that people are now hoarding. Everyone is emailing/texting back and forth whatever latest news they are hearing. And everyone is all up in arms about whether or not schools should be closing. For now, the kids school is still open and there has not been any known instances of the virus in Issaquah.
I did make a trek to Trader Joes the other morning and it was pretty quiet actually, and fully stocked (well, they were out of sanitizer but had everything else). If we do need to go out, Scott is a drill sergeant about keeping hands to yourself and sanitizing or washing hands afterwards. On Saturday, we needed to get out of the house and headed to the snow to do some sledding. We found a spot where we were the only ones there, which was nice because there were no lines and because we didn't have to worry at all about germs.
All in all, we're doing pretty good hunkering down here.

Glad to hear it! Let's hope everyone stays healthy and sane!
