If you are an introvert like me, you will get this! lol
" According to Google Trends, “Searches for #SocialDistancing are at an all-time high in the US.” Social distancing refers to measures that health officials recommend in a time of outbreak: avoiding physical contact, staying home, and canceling big gatherings — or as an introvert would put it, a perfect week."

In our area, Home Depot is thriving. It is so busy that they are monitoring how many come in the store at one time. A sales associate said today, he has NEVER seen it this busy. Ever. People are stuck at home and looking for something to do.

Warning!
by FedUpJW inno...not a warning from me, rather that is the subject of the "local needs" that i heard was presented via zoom tonight.. beware of apps!
they harped on the idea that only apps approved by the governing body should ever be downloaded or used by jdubs.
they said if they had not been featured in the litterature or specifically recommended by the governing body then jdubs should heed the warning and avoid them.. i guess they are, as we all suspected, very afraid of what the dubs will find out now that they have to use only electronic devices for their "food"..

My spouse lost his job during the middle of the last recession. It was tough. Thank goodness we did not have a lot of debt and kept our expenses down. Besides our service conductor, not one of the Elders , during that time, gave a crap. Not one! When we started our fade, one of the Elders came by our house, his only concern was what congregation we were going to. He never asked my spouse if he ever got another job. Then we bumped into another Elder from our KH. All he spoke about was himself. We waited and waited for him to ask if my spouse ever received another job or how our children were doing. Nope. I don't think they will give two hoots about anyone else but themselves. This comes from the top down. As long as they are taken care of, they could care less about others.

Have you Witnessed a Change in People's Life-Style / Behaviour where you Live?
by smiddy3 ini certainly have , over the normal week i go to one of two clubs where i have two beers over a couple of hours ( i pace myself ) and catch up with a few friends .
one of the clubs every hour goes around to disinfect everywhere people make contact with pokies /machines or whatever we might touch.and they also now have limits as to how many can be in a certain area at any one time.and that applies to both clubs ,except one does not disinfect every hour.. today, their were far fewer people in this particular club that i attended that is usually bustling with patrons on a saturday either drinking gambling and socializing .not today.
and a strict rule of how many could be in a certain area at any one time .. and i agree with all of this , its necessary .and i will be monitoring my own activities as need be.. what have you noticed in your neck of the woods.?

In the Southern part of the us. About an hour outside of a large Metropolitan area. Everyone is home during the day, everyday seems like a Saturday . People are walking their dogs, mowing their yards and working from home. Weird!
Stores are closing early and dine in places are doing take out orders only. Sam's club, in our area is limiting how many packs of meat and packs of TP you buy. Kids and college students are doing online school, so we see many of them out and about during the day.
People seem to be making the best of it.
One thing interesting. I deal with a good volume of clients (all "worldly"). I have received several texts over the past couple of weeks, checking on me and my family. Any JW's? Nope. We have had to reach out to JW family and check on them. NO ONE has reached out to us. "You will know them by their fruits."
