Restrictions where you’re at
lareli:
I’m curious to know what pandemic restrictions you are under in your location.
Where I live restrictions vary from county to county and the state has said that it will impose its state wide restrictions but each county can impose stricter measures if they want.
I live in the Bay Area of California and we have been under some variation of a stay-at-home order since March. With certain business being deemed essential and others being forced to close. Schools have been closed and only operate over zoom calls through the computer. So my 3 kids have been home since March. Churches are not allowed to meet in person. Restaurants have gone back and forth between allowing minimum occupancy dining indoors and strictly outdoors to full on ‘delivery/takeout only’.
I work in building maintenance and they allowed us to come back to work after sending us home for 2 months of shelter-in-place orders at the very beginning of all this. So I’m able to work but the 4000+ Office employees that use to occupy these buildings have all been working from home this whole time.
Masks required whenever you are inside anywhere except your home. I see a lot of people wearing them outdoors as well although I don’t think it’s required.
I’m really curious what it’s like where you guys are all at. Is it drastically different than before Covid? Or is it pretty close to business as usual? Has anyone lost their jobs? Has it been hard being at home for you guys? Has it been hard for your kids to be home?

In New Zealand there is no covid except for those returning from overseas which go into isolation hotels. One person who left there was found to have it but under control and no spread. There is no restrictions here, just advised to use QR code’s. Is tough for businesses that rely on overseas tourists.

Wow, no Covid.. that’s great to hear. So when you say no restrictions I’m assuming that there are no mandatory mask rules either?

We are in Colorado . Schools are opened up now with masks . I think our restaurants are 25 % occupancy but I expect that to rise soon because our Covid numbers are down . We had a ‘ surge ‘ the beginning of December but things are better now . Stores are all open . My husband has an elective surgery this Friday and that’s still going on .
I live at 7000 feet altitude so when I’m hiking or going on a walk I do not wear a mask and neither do most people , but some do . I’ve flown once . I go wherever I want , but my husband works from home anyway so we are not exposed daily .
I’m so ready for this to be over !

No mask rules, not seen anyone wearing one for about 6 months
