Funny, in Florida where we just were they have closed beaches. Mainly because of March break teens and millennials having big parties. But surely open spaces are goo for walking and getting air

kimmio, I assume your room mate is not quite up to speed with precautions. I think lots of millennials have been the same

but if she pays rent she has just as much right to bring home guests and unless you have a formal agreement to ask for permission I doubt she needs to do so

I have more clout because it's my step brother and his wife. We agreed to try to find someone who I'd be okay with. It didn't work out the greatest but she can't be asked to leave now anyway. It's not safe. And it's not even legal to formally evict people now. I wouldn't want that. Her lease was for a few months and she had to cancel a trip she was going on after - so, I agreed on Tues for them to extend her lease. It's not 'that' bad. Just venting.

We do have a written agreement to keep things quiet after 10:30 unless arranged ahead of time (because my step brother normally has to get up really early but he's not working these days - but that's sort of his rhythm/ routine anyway). And when she moved in we verbally agreed on chores, but it didn't take.

Some, but I would put more of that down to Gen Z.
 
Roommates are tricky. We all have different levels of what is clean. Me? I am kind if casual. Hubby is more fastidious. But it’s tricky

be calm. Clean after her. You will feel better and mainly you have the time

My standards would be different with a spouse. My spouse was much worse than her about wiping up after himself or taking out garbage. He was filthy sometimes! (Like oh my god don't even remind me about it)... But it was "our" mess, I loved him even though he was messy (actually I was the surface cleaner, he was the cupboard/ closet organizer - so I can be disorganized and stuff things in the closet any which way, in a hurry - his side of the closet was more organized, but that doesn't mean his clothes were cleaner unless I washed them) ...and I had higher tolerance unless we were having company. But, I barely know her, or her friends.

No problem wiping counters, things I don't have to bend or reach too much...getting down under the sink to address the garbage/ recycling chaos frequently, hurts my back though and is difficult to manoeuvre).

I guess here we have the best testing per capita. So good news for actually catching community transmission. Right now it's estimated 11 cases are from that.
 
This news article contains some really good information, including towards the bottom of the article, a province by province "what to do" if you have symptoms and what is open or closed in each province.

I was a bit surprised that within the article one of the reasons to call was if you had uncontrolled bleeding? Haven't heard that that was a symptom, or did I read that wrong?

I think it's moreso go to the emergency room, don't delay treatment if you have uncontrolled bleeding, even if under isolation. Not specific to COVID-19.
 
Restaurants in Vancouver have been ordered to close dine-in service by the end of the day today, or face prosecution. The mayor says this is all what needs to be done to protect vulnerable people.

I hope owners of those restaurants close the doors...then cook up a storm of good food and package up take-out for the homeless. There is nobody more vulnerable right now.
 
I was sad to learn the Greek place I really luck decided to shut down. I sent out a message, Bday is going up and I was planning on ordering there. Tried to see if I could grab some baklava at least, no luck, although they did respond right away. It will have to wait.
 
That is good to do. Businesses can apply for compensation. Homeless people are more vulnerable - and things are probably getting tense out there - than ever. I haven't been downtown for several days. How much more confusing and scary would all this be for those living on the streets?
 
Local businesses are getting inventive with turning to delivery service. One small restaurant here has connected to farmers who do not have their own outlet and now delivers their meals but also the farmers grocery orders.
