OT: Where are you sheltering?

I'm pretty ideally located at home (small town, aggressive measures taken locally) so no need to travel. My one regret is being unable to get my mid-60's mother out of California before things got bad. Unfortunately, she couldn't leave her father who has dementia so she's riding it out alone.

Between this and the message board about when we last went to work, I'm really starting to believe Big Brother is after us Mgobloggers...

I got a message for you Big Brother: I didn't do anything wrong! If you want to get someone get Maizen or that weird koala guy!

My office in Boston went WFH about 2 days before states started seriously curtailing operations. My fiancee's classes were transitioned to online at Harvard the same day IIRC. We took that opportunity to drive back to Michigan. We've been bouncing between my in-laws north of Detroit and parents over in Lansing ever since. ~2 weeks at each house so we don't bother anyone, but long enough that if anyone catches it we probably would know and not leave until the 2 week incubation period (if that's what it still is) passes. Only go out to get groceries but my in-laws usually have theirs delivered.

This was a better option than staying in a hot spot where we lived in a 650 square foot apartment in a complex of 600 units.

In my shelter.

At home, in Royal Oak. Just down the street from a hospital full of rona patients.

I'm hoping the housing market takes a dip, because Mrs. Hatter was right, our house is too small.

Chicago high rise

A small town (5K population) with suburbs to the east and farms to the west. In a state with a hyper-conscientious governor. House is just big enough for the 4 of us (plus 3 cats and a small dog).

If nothing else, this experience has taught my wife and me that we should be able to coexist peacefully in retirement when the kids are gone. Of course that also might be the next sexytime.

This entire ordeal has made me realize I should have pulled the trigger on the summer place in Northern Michigan last year. Definitely looking over the next year to do so, so that when I'm 125 for the next pandemic, my robot butler can drive me there. 

At home, but not really sheltering.  Still go out for food and whatever materials we need for the various activities around the yard and house, so nothing has really changed for me.  Except, of course, for the full-time WFH.  We have a house full of pets (dogs/cats/birds/etc), and a yard full of fowl and poultry, so there's always something to do.  The lack of commute time to/from the office has been the biggest break I've ever experienced!  Roughly 3.5 hours/day back in my life...

I have it pretty good right now, and I'm fully aware of that.  I feel for those that don't have it quite as well, and have been trying to support our local businesses a little more than usual (restaurants, hardware stores, and the like).

At home in the south side of Charlotte.  WFH is old hat for me, so no huge adjustment there.  Kids are well-trained over many years of discipline on that front: if dad's office door is closed, don't even try to knock (let alone barge in).  So far, so good on that front.

After a bit of delay in taking the facemask thing seriously, most places I go around here seem to be observing the appropriate measures fairly well (workers and customers alike).  So if we could just get some darned chicken back on the shelves and my favorite Chinese place would re-open for takeout, we could go on like this for a while.

We generally relocate to a summer place in New England come mid-June.  We will see how that goes...

I have a 1/2 acre just outside of Portland.  My kids have turned that into a BMX track.  There is some pretty extreme air to be had, and my back yard will never recover.

Pretty happy I invested in some new furniture last winter.  We now have basically two living rooms in the house.  The kids are taking one and I get the other for my home office, otherwise I'd be going insane.

At home or spending chunks of time in the rv when we get bored.

Your mom's bedroom. 

Sheltering in place at home. My parents watch my daughter and they have been isolating too, no contact outside of us and all groceries and goods are curbside. It's been nice to have help with the daughter and be able to have contact with two other people. That's about it.

At work, in a factory, everyday and quite honestly everyone who continued working at their employer's location deserves a medal when this is all said and done.

At home in Northern Indiana and loving it. Packed on some lbs before/after hernia surgery in January, so this lined up perfectly with my ramping up schedule of physical activity. Lost all the weight from the hernia layoff, and some additional post-college weight that's been adding up over the last decade. I'm down 47.2 lbs since lockdown started (I'm 6'5" so it's not as extreme as it sounds). 

I'm probably in the minority, but I could gladly live this this for months at a time every year. Especially if it warms up enough to get in the pool. My body, my house, and my lawn have all benefitted greatly from this extra time. I always felt like I could never catch up on things bc there are no "summer breaks" once you're done with HS/College. This is the break I've been looking for. My "to-do list" is almost wiped clean.

I'm hiding in OPs basement

Shhhhh don't tell him

My home (wife and two kids-8 and 4) are sheltering in La Costa Valley. Carlsbad/Encinitas, San Diego county. Thankfully, we have trails and weather so we are able to be outside all day. In fact, we have two baseball fields, which allows me to hit balls to my son. 
 

I walk 6 miles a day, and am obnoxiously tan. 
 

We have a beach house on the Canadian side of Lake Huron, up the coast from Port Huron/Sarnia.  We talked about heading up there for a while because it's just corn and wheat fields in the surrounding area.  Small town of 2000 people is the closest civilization.  Seemed pretty safe.  Well, the border closed before we could head to Canada, so that killed that plan.  We got an email a few weeks later from a neighbor letting us know that a significant coronavirus outbreak was going on in the native community.  Over 100 infected and people were refusing to get tested fearing they would be ostracized by the rest of the tribe.  The local government was trying to work something out fearing a major disaster.  So, our great idea probably could have been a bad outcome.

Staying here in the western suburbs of Chicago has worked out just fine....[knock on wood].

I never left home in the Chicago NW suburbs. My boss is based in NYC (Manhattan), but he and his partner moved in with family in Idaho. His ex-wife and kid live in Brooklyn, but are sheltering in upstate NY somewhere. 

I had lived in Philly but was slowly going crazy as the city shut down and I was working from home. Family invited me back to Michigan to work remotely there, so I did. Early April I drove back, and quarantined in their basement for 2 weeks.

Now I get to enjoy 3 acres, the family dog, and some legit human interaction while working from home. So very similar to you, OP.

In our house with enough space for the four of us to get away from each other if need be. We have a comfortable bed, a decent sized backyard and a grill so I'm not always cooking inside. I'm very grateful for our situation. It could be so much worse. 

I'm not sheltering.  Still going to the office, and even going to restaurants to eat on their patios when they are open.  Hosting barbecues and friends and taking walks in the park and boating on the river.  My life is as normal as it was before with the exception of not being able to go to the gym nor eat inside restaurants and bars.

I got out of Mich the 3rd week of March and headed to Arizona. Wife was sick out there then with what I assumed was Covid. I thought I was going to be exposed but she tested negative and I have avoided illness so far. It was so very similar that I’m not convinced, and false neg test results are common. She’s better now but since AZ is relatively much less impacted than MI, I’m staying here WFH until the office is opened like in another month or so. It could be worse. 

I'm an essential worker, so I have to report to work. Everything except grocery stores and home improvement stores are open. Take-out is available at some eateries. I've working on gardens out back and running. I miss the gym.

I am just living my life as I normally do.  Yes, I wear a mask and gloves, but other than that not much has changed. I work from home anyway.  Last weekend here in So Cal was beautiful .  We went on several hikes in the mountains, cycling, a drive on PCH through Malibu with the top down (LA has the beaches closed and the police were out in force), and also to the gun range for some situational practice and pinging targets.

I will not allow this Democrat Governor, who throws our tax money away and refuses to be accountable for his own actions, to be accountable for mine.  I will live my life, doing my best to avoid the China Virus, and also Avoid giving it to others.  Im pretty sure that I have the anti-bodies after my experience with it in January. 

Live your life.  Do not allow the fear and hype get to you.  Be sensible.
