Who's quarantining? What's the situation like in your country at the moment?
The UK has gone on semi-lockdown with all shops but supermarkets and pharmacies closed. Everyone is encouraged to work from home and all schools and large gatherings cancelled.
We're not allowed to leave the house, only for grocery shopping and exercise once a day. You must stand at least 2 meters away from others and no groups larger than 2.
Philippines has been in the same situation since March 15! Our quarantine period is supposed to end by April 14, but with the increasing number of confirmed cases, it might be extended but we don't know that yet. :<
What are things like for you now?
here in the ph we now have over 50K cases and 30K of those are active cases :-( the travel ban has been lifted but there has been no mass testing yet
I've never posted in a forum like this before, but I saw the album giveaway so I thought I should give it a try hehe.
I'm also in the UK as well, honestly what's the most stressful is how I'm falling soooo behind on my school work. I have like no motivation tbh. I haven't done school work in like 3 weeks :). BUT my plan is that when we go into the summer holidays, I'm going to try and catch up with my work.
Yes, having to work / attend school online is so hard since the urge to procrastinate is really high yet we have to accomplish our assignments
@miawilliams061 haha me too!
I'm in the US, and we're in the same quarantine situation. I'm doing pretty well though, I've been able to find time to watch NCT Content between doing my summer homework and some of my summer classes. The time to myself is pretty nice, though I miss seeing my friends.
I've actually become an nctzen over this quarantine with all this spare time, the boys have kept me sane to be honest. My freind got me into them after I was having an emotional episode over Suho joining the military (I've been stanning exo since about 2015 so it was VERY HARD for me haha), I was intrigued by their concept that they had unlimited members that maybe I wouldn't be as emotionally broken when some of them have to go. It's been great tho becuase I've just been talking to people in the fandom all the time, so I haven't felt lonely. Honestly it's kind of cool how we're all in a similar situation, even if we live in England, the US, Korea or any other country. Wow I rambled. You didn't ask for my life story but hey, random stranger on the internet, now you have it!
Yep me too, became a NCTzen over quarantine! Awwh yea Suho😭!! We all miss him don’t we? On the other hand, we’re sooo close to getting Xiumin back, and don’t know if any of you are SHINee fans, but Jinki is back! Despite all the sad things happening, Kpop and these boys are keeping me positive and happy :)
Also, wasn’t Lay’s Boom, Jade, Lit, Baekhyun’s Candy and EXO-SC’s songs greatt?!
I know! It's kind of weird, but it feels like Minseok's service kind of went rally fast? Which I'm soooo glad about. I've never been a shinee stan but my auntie (who introduced me into kpop) showed me shinee back in like 2012, so they've always had a special spart in my heart :). And YES! Boom was incredible! I can't help but think that he looks like, in the concept photos, that's what he could have looked like in the kokobop mv... And the interactions on instagram made my ot9 heart weep. And cand of course slapped, and i literally was just listening to on me. Stan talent, stan vivi.
I'm in the US and the situation has not been great... hopefully Americans get their act together soon and start taking public health seriously! I'm getting very tired of quarantine...
Yeah I've been seeing on the news... your country is.. really special huh. Welp, I wish you the best!
Yea.. things definitely are crazy around here.. So much going on, but I hope that things die down soon and hopefully we’ll be out of quarantine safely!
yeah I heard some of the news with the US, I hope its gonna be better soon:(
The situation in my country is pretty bad. I'm from the Philippines and if I'm not mistaken, we have the longest on-going lockdown on the planet. Even though people here are following protocols, cases are still steadily rising :(
Oh no! I hope things get better for you guys over there. All the best to you!
I hope its gonna be better!!!
Here in Indonesia is pretty bad, its so bad to the point that I didn't even wanna read the news anymore and I feel like people doesn't even care about covid anymore. in the period of "semi-lockdown" people still went out, there's this one period of time where our airport was FULL of people, it seems like the effort of people that really stayed at home got wasted 😣. now we are in the period of 'new normal' where businesses can open and people can start to carry out normal activity while following the protocol given. our cases haven't decreased and the first wave haven't finished yet but the government decided to make such rules😶
Oh no.. That’s worrying. I’m half Indonesian actually, and my relatives live there so I really hope things get better!!! Good luck to you!
ahhh! I hope they’re okayy, remind them to always be cautious
Yep, thanks, you too!
