“I’m amazed at one thing –– that the US president holds a press conference and talks about social distancing while he has 14 people behind him.”
“Even my six-year-old granddaughter knows about the coronavirus,” Nilufer Santemiz says. “They taught her at kindergarten. She says, ‘no kissing grandma until corona is over.’”
She adds: “I went to the university for the last time on March 12, and haven’t been since. I don’t go out of the house, and do my shopping online.” Santemiz’s husband and daughter work in the private sector, and they still go to work, she says. Santemiz also confesses that her family went out for Sunday breakfast on March 15 with another couple they’ve known for 50 years.
Ruchan Kunt says she has no option but to leave the apartment every once in a while. She says she was at the bank yesterday morning, and stopped by the supermarket, which was empty but for the cashiers and one lone shopper. On her return home, she thoroughly washed her hands. She says she has lost work due to cancellations and has had to turn down what little work that remained because she was wary of sharing a small booth with a colleague which would violate social distancing guidelines. “That means loss of income,” she says.. “I usually walk at least three kilometres a day to stay healthy. I can’t do that now.”
