IDK why paper plates and napkins are equivalent to toilet paper to some people. Because if one person in the family gets sick, some may want to try to isolate that person in one area of the house so it doesn't spread to the rest...disposable paper products are easy to use and throw away versus trying to deal with keeping contaminated dishes separate and having to clean them separately, etc. But, I think by the time a person shows symptoms, they likely have already contaminated too much of the house to avoid spreading it. But, it is still an additional precaution. Before the stay at home order came down, I went to a pizza place that normally serves slices on reusable woven baskets. They would lay a sheet of paper over it. However, before the orders to more or less close down they switched to paper plates. I suppose they could stay open since they are technically a restaurant, but they've opted to close down completely.

I've been eating more, but I've also kept up my exercise regimen. More chocolate, ice cream, dried fruits, and strangely, more okra and pickled foods. I must be pregnant.

I have been eating less, some days much less than usual. I am a touch OCD. Not in the "must keep everything clean sense" (ha ha ha! not at all!) but more in the "able to get locked in to something and lose all sense of time, space, and higher dimensions of the universe" sense. So, for instance, I can sit down at a jigsaw puzzle and, once I start, just *have* to keep finding more pieces that fit. Or, when I start playing a video game, just keep playing it for hours and hours until I realize it's been about 20 hours since I last ate anything. It is this reason why I have been actually eating less. (Both less often and just overall less much.)

That was a month ago, but thanks for asking.

I'm also eating a fair amount less. Probably because I'm not in the gym for 4-6 hours a day (morning and night) like I had been. I have some at-home exercise equipment now, but I don't want to put weight back on (I was in the middle of a cut and had lost 13 pounds in six weeks with zero muscle loss). At this point, some muscle loss seems inevitable, even with my new resistance bands, but I'm trying to minimize that while also losing the last few pounds of fat.

So for those who are under quarantine/lockdown, how are you holding up so far? Apart from food and sitting on the couch watching TV, have you develop any stay-at-home routine to stop you going crazy?

I do not sit on the couch and watch TV. I sit at my computer and either a) work, b) follow forums like this one, or c) play video games. Since this is basically what I would do otherwise anyway, except for work usually requiring me to commute to the office, it's not super stressful.
