We'll all make it through this ok if we just use good sense:

1. Stay home, or face mandatory requirement to do so. Get your groceries and supplies delivered and don't stand in lines waiting to get food unless you want to catch something from another person in line. This is the hardest thing since a lot of folks don't like to be told what to do, think there are special rules for them, or just "have to" talk to people in person.

2. Pass the time at home. Lots of ways to do that, and if it is restricting, so what? You're being responsible and caring for yourself and others. After all, we're not whining teenagers, are we? There are a hundred things you can do; it's only limited by your imagination:
phone calls: call old friends, one or two a day, each week. They are probably lonely
too.

TV: lots of movies and series to catch up on

games (Racko, Skipbo, Sorry, checkers....etc etc) and puzzles (jigsaw, crossword....can get on Amazon)

start writing that personal history you want to leave your children

indulge your passion: cooking, painting, reading, woodworking (like to sing, compose a song!)

make lists (things you want to do after quarantine: destination restaurants, trips, visiting homebound friends, find a good church, give away clothes to needy families, teach a young person something you know)

3. If we all just do what we need to, respecting the health and welfare of others, we will get through this and have a story that we can tell our grandchildren (p.s., in the meantime, stay away from those little ones).

Be safe; be wise; be happy.
