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

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.
