In Chicago, schools have been shut and we're working from home until towards the end of April. Schools have been providing online classes and activities for kids which is good because they can still keep learning but hard especially if your kid is younger and you have to support them while working, but at least we are thankful we do not work in industries where you cannot work from home and face losing our jobs.

I'm sure it will be a lot more worrying for people in Italy especially those close to areas such as Lombard.
You must be a teacher working in a public school, quarantine ends on 7th of April, and a lot of people can’t work from home, but only a few people

Well,I still go to work cos my job is considered "Essential Business" and we can't afford to close down.So at work we do have sanitizer and gloves. I haven't seen anyone with a.face mask yet. The grocery stores are still selling cos it is considered "Essential" too but schools and other non essential businesses have shut down.
We working and hoping. Everyone stay safe though. Your survival doesn't depend on you alone but that of your neighbors too.

We wish our brothers in Nigeria will realise shit is real and give it the seriousness it deserves. I see on social media people making a fun of it and some purporting conspiracy theories about it been a hoax or avenue to make money.

Shit is real and it's is not funny at all here in New York. Health systems are stretched already. I fear how Africa will cope if the America and Europe are squealing.

Here in Vancouver Canada, schools, offices, banks all events are shutdown.

Everyone on self isolation. Cases are been reported and the authorities here are working hard.

I urge Nigerians to support the govt of the day in the fight against the Convid _19, the virus is a respected of no man.

Nigerians should stop spreading news that leads to panic, stop abusing your govt, rather support and encourage the govt efforts.

Here in Canada, there much cases which the media do not even report, there are lots of flaws here by the govt yet the citizens never abuse or castigated there govt nor go online spreading lots.

Should the virus enter Nigeria everyone will feel the effect both the rich and poor.

A word is enough for the wise.

Your thought are wrong, thank God for nairaland ooo keeping me abreast of Nigeria.
I reside in Toronto and the social distance is quite effective
Schools locked down. The food items at the grocery disappear at the speed of light.

I was in New York about a week ago. Went through la guardia . People didn’t seem to care that much. I guess it’s gotten more serious in the past few days?

I'm not a teacher, but my kid goes to private which is closed until April 20 which includes spring break. I believe CPS is until mid April as well though this may change. My employer has also confirmed we are to wfh until at least April 20th so I wouldn't necessarily say quarantine ends on the 7th. The situation is still very fluid and changing daily.

Yes I agree a lot of people can't work from home hence why I said we are thankful we do not work in sectors where people cannot work from home and are facing job loss.
