I still go in to work pretty much every day Floffe Send a noteboard - 15/04/2020 10:28:47 PM

Sweden has less strict rules but strong recommendations for as many people as possible to work from home, and keep physical distance. Public gatherings over 50 persons are banned, but most businesses, plus childcare and schools up to grade 9 are still open (that's where I work). Above that students are remote learners.

I live on an island with 57000 people, so far not that affected. We've had 17 confirmed infections and 1 death, but then there hasn't been that much testing. For all of Sweden the numbers are 11927 confirmed cases and 1203 deaths, but people are pedi much only tested if they go to the hospital or work in healthcare.

I personally am not that affected, but my sister has had immuno-suppresive treatment for her MS, and my parents are both over 70. They try to avoid other people as much as they can, so I help them with shopping and other errands.

And then we are expecting a child in June (the first for my fiance and third for me), and I might not be allowed at the hospital to help her through that. That is my main worry right now.

Perhaps you could go live with your family until this is all over?
