Australian Federal government has given the decisions to the states. We have 10 students at school today, and there's a very good chance we'll go into stricter lockdown next week.

There's now a confirmed case in my immediate region. I think there's a possibility of state lockdown this weekend.

Our county has one confirmed case and schools are closed until at least April 20.

We just had a case confirmed in our county. I'm wondering how far it will spread. People still acting invincible out here.

We have plenty of people acting the same. It’s somewhat maddening.

I don't mean to be negative, but for the way things are going, next week will be hard for the US...

I have actually been impressed by folks here. Most of them seem to be taking this very seriously. They're not happy about some of the things our governor is doing but they aren't taking risks.

That being said, neither am I. I did go to the grocery store yesterday and everyone seemed to be following the social distancing guidelines. The store had areas taped and marked off to let people know how to get in line to pay.

A student resource officer in Sayre (about 30 miles from here) has tested positive. This individual is one of the people who has been passing out lunches to students since school shut down.

Fun times.

My state governor has issued a stay at home order punishable by fine or jail time. This really bothers me as it ignores our rights to movement and assembly. But I know there are plenty of idiots out there who need the nanny state to force responsibility for them.

We were the hospital when this thing blew up, sort of removed from it all. We are being responsible and have a new family member who has only met a fraction of his family due to this. It's been really hard. Having basic freedoms stolen doesn't really help my mindframe either.

I guess it's just a reminder that there is only one place to put my faith in that won't disappoint

I agree that it’s irritating that people won’t just follow best practices voluntarily. I live in Virginia, and the beaches were apparently packed this past weekend, so the governor issued a stay at home order Monday. Now cops can ticket people for being out and about without good reason. Don’t know how strictly that will be enforced...

But it really is good to have hope in one above all this. That’s making it a lot easier to maintain my sanity.

Meanwhile in New Zealand, the entire country is on lockdown.

Current status here. Hospitalized, ICU, respirator
Three weeks into quarantine. We succeeded in flattening the curve

Catholic education for my state has said classes will finish as of today (one week before holidays). I'm currently alternating work-from-home every second day now.
