No, I am not staying home more.
I am not wearing masks.
I am keeping my life as normal as possible.

I think if we follow common sense practices during this time with this virus, Wash your hands if you are sick stay home and try to leave some toilet paper and sanitizer for the next person.

@doxie1 Last night a college Professor on our local news was whining about the short notice in preparing an on line course in that normally one has months to develop a course. I thought what a self serving attitude instead of let's make the best of this and do what we can to continue the class. Time to be creative.

How rude can you be? I am a senior and have many friends, family, and acqaintances who are seniors. We do not "just sit and rock".
Seems like you don't work or do much--you might want to rethink your comment.
ITA. We seniors are not all sedentary. Some who are can't help it if they can't move around, but they are human and want life like the rest of us, no matter what age you are. I hope you live to be a senior and have a change of attitude.

(thread title)
For me I will live my life like I have prior to this virus. That has always included what the "experts" deem necessary to help prevent me from getting and/or spreading this virus.
I fall into the over 80 age category and have had some "live or die" medical situations. My heart and my pulmonary system are compromised, maybe a little bit, but my overall health, and present and past physical fitness, have served me well. In fact had it not been for my physical fitness, I would have died during my 1st heart attack, that included Aspiration Pneumonia on July 5th 2003.
So I will keep going to the places I have in the past, which includes 3 visits to 1 of our ice rinks to skate. As long as our City keeps this rink open, I have no intention of "staying at home".
For those that feel vulnerable because of their health, or their fear of the "what if's"? Probably best for them to take the advice you "apprear" to be giving with this (thead title).

Update .... Archdiocese has cancelled Masses this weekend. So I picked up my packages this afternoon.
Because most of the participants are senior citizens ....
All that's left on my agenda next week is PT on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

Management closed some of our amenities until the end of the month. Gym is closed.
Yesterday I went out to lunch with a friend. Out usually crowded eatery was not busy. Waiter said there has been drop in business.
I’m going out to Church later today for a couple of hours and stopping at supermarket on way home. Tomorrow I have to go pick up some packages. Monday I’ll be home all day but rest of week I have full schedule.

@ALRATIBA, oh no. I hope they don't cancel PT next. You'll have no where to go.

On the upside ... I'll be able to catch up on some dusting, vacuuming, reading, knitting, crocheting.
There's a kitchen cabinet that needs to be re-arranged and I've been putting if off for months.
