So, who’s stuck at home?

[kabdriver]

We are here in NY, as I’m sure you’ve seen on the news. They’ve started issuing fines if you’re outside and shouldn’t be - not that I’m desperate to go outside and get coughed on anyway. 🤪😂

Been inside almost continuously for 19 days with the wife...good thing I had some builds to finish for NNL East (which I somehow still haven’t managed to get handled even with 19 days of bench time and counting) or we’d have to resort to spending time chatting or something.

Everyone staying safe? Anyone building anything cool that we haven’t seen yet? I’m doing a Paddy Wagon, but you’ve all seen a Paddy Wagon before.

Very bored here, please send help (or kits! LOL!)

Same here is Adelaide Australia. I have been working from home for about 2 weeks. But started building again at night, it is not too hot here now. I have built a 53 F 100 double tilt. I have started on my mates 28 Pick up wow there is a lot of mods on that as it is a Hot Rod and also customising a Vampire Van. Not happy about a few things so going to build it my way.

Hope all you guys are well and stay safe.

I'm still working as I'm deemed an "essential worker", I work at a grocery store stocking produce. We are getting extra pay for being there. The store has written and audio messages for employees and customers of keeping 6 feet or a cart length apart. With people going wherever they choose, that part of the message doesn't seem to be working. Just about everyone are wearing face masks but there are a few who use the shirt they are wearing or a bandana. It's hilarious seeing what people consider protection.

Anyway, I am still working on a few builds...funny cars, show rods, even a Starship or two. I am hoping my tax refund arrives soon as I have my eye on a full size replica of Tom Servo from Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Stay well and safe, remember to wash your hands, and don't touch your face.

Everyone here WAS wearing the masks...and then someone came on the local New York news and told people to stop wearing the masks because people were buying them all and leaving the hospitals short. Now we’re meant to be wearing a home made mask apparently...not that that’s going to help you stop transmitting OR catching it I’m sure.

I don’t envy you guys who are keeping the stores open and the country ticking over, you’re doing a tough job right now for sure - THANK YOU FOR DOING IT!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

With only 1.5 million people in the entire state of Maine, we only have issues in Portland and south near Mass,Vermont and New Hampshire borders. Mostly people coming in to shelter in their vacation cabins. We have a bit over 500 cases here.I'm considered hi risk. Spending time building, fishing and messing with my race car. Course to keep it interesting we got a few inches of snow last night.

I work at a dealership , also deemed essential, but business has been so far down we are only working 4 hours a day . With the extra time I have been working on a few things , but with stores all closed I have been running out of supplies ! I ran out of glue and several cans of paint , Luckily my wife is always on Amazon and two glue tubes arrived this morning !

I've been at home for nearly eight years now, oh I retired! We both go for a walk every morning to buy essential food and a newspaper. We then walk through the rest of the town in a circular route that takes us back home. We are both 72 so are seen as high risk but have no underlying medical issues.
We follow all of the government rules and otherwise stay at home. We put our house up for sale in January this year and the second viewers bought it but as there are 10 houses in the chain, and then Covid-19 came along, we don't know when we will move. It might be before Christmas who knows?
I packed all my model stuff into various crates in early February and started to unpack tools last week and started building again!
We in the UK don't wear masks only if you want to, but as you said before the NHS Hospitals here need them more urgently than we do.

We have a garden so are lucky to wander round the small space in the fresh air, but those who live in apartments/flats must find it very difficult. Our parks are all closed due to those seen sun bathing or on beaches are stopped by Police and fined and sent home!
Just please all of you everywhere stay safe, stick to the rules as it's very uncertain times like this where we must value our lives first.
