I am a Canadian and dam proud of it as well.
If I have to be stranded somewhere just because my February plans to return to Canada are on the back burner ; then The RD is the best place to be.
MY Wife's Uncle died this morning of COVID19 buried this afternoon... really efficient ; 69 years young.... great guy.
That's live... the big cycle
My sincere condolences... My dad will be 70yo next Summer, I have very strongly advised him to stay home (in Scandinavia), and he seems to be doing just fine, thankfully... He does take medication for blood pressure and a couple of other conditions, so taking things easy is a good idea...
Yes, I agree with you regarding where it's good to be stranded... Until things clear up a bit, we're just fine where we are, what kids need the least is a big change and our 8 yo is doing excellent studying online... The climate is very favorable to our 4 yo with tonsillitis...
