A close call with COVID, Weekly Music review and Monthly Music Book Club ( #100DaysToOffLoad Day 21)
So today should be the day where i post my impressions of the album i picked last week. Unfortunately this past week was a write off. Everything was fine at first but by Tuesday morning my wife was showing a few symptoms of COVID. Took all week to finally get her tested on Friday and we finally got the results back just yesterday. Negative! OOOF such a relief.
So the week was spent in self isolation working from home and complaining about the fact that it was taking so long to get her tested not much else was accomplished. I don't think i listened to any music at all. So last weeks album will become this weeks album. Check back next sunday for that.
Something else i wanted to talk about is #mmbc (Monthly Music Book Club) that was started by @uxintro@social.chinwag.org last month. The premise is simple. Pick an album and listen to it over a month or so then get together on XMPP to talk about it and pick another album. So far i think it's only @uxintro@social.chinwag.org , @mike@social.chinwag.org and me participating at least based on who is in the XMPP room. So come join us. search up #mmbc on the fediverse to find out more and see what we are listening to this month.
Well that's all for today
Until next time stay safe

COVID-19 Update 1 Apr 06 2020
I'm thinking of doing these once a week from now on. Both as a way to document the progress and to share how things are in my part of the world. I debated if i should post these public or not. If you would rather not see these let me know and i'll post them just for me.
I'll be honest that i'm not keeping a very close eye on things as to not get overwhelmed by the grand scale that this has become but i do keep up with it from day to day.
So as of today:
- Gas prices are at an all time low of 0.70CAD/liter 1.88US/Gallon
- Social distancing is being recommended but not really enforced. This is starting to change and be more enforced. It's also mostly left to individual provinces to enforce.
- Seems many people don't get how bad this really is. Still going out to get BBQ's,pools and other non-necessities
- 15,000 cases in Canada
- 101 in my province
- Schools have been closed for 3 weeks and will remain closed for the rest of the school year.
- Only Grocery Stores, Pharmacies, Most gas stations, Most hardware stores, (probably other places i'm forgeting deemed to provide necessities) remain open
- All Restaurants are take-out(Drive-through) or delivery only.
Lets see where things stand next week. Let me know if i should include other stats in my posts.
