My answer is this, I live in my villa on the beach as I ordinarily do. I close the large iron gate to protect myself from the world. or possible COVID-19 carriers. Occasionally I'll get some food at a restaurant, but i'll sit out on the sand whilst maintaining social distancing (i.e. i'll have a swim , watch for the arrival of my meal and the departure of the waiter, after-which i'll seat myself at the table). Sitting inside the restaurant will place me at risk. Eating at resturants is better than me wandering through the shop aisles to find food, as the risk of exposure is quite high. It truly is best if I have my maid drop down to the market and buy what I need.
I will have a maid take my washing to the cleaners and maybe do some shopping for me but she is kindly asked to leave my washing and food outside my gate. She takes her pay of 500 pesos for the days work and departs. I simply cant risk her bringing any infection into my residence and life. However, I have supplies delivered twice a week. we coordinate with whatsapp. Obviously, my maid cant enter my house to clean it so I am forced to use only 1 bedroom room, kitchen/bathroom and living room (1000 sq ft) because once I make a mess I know I will never clean it up (i'm hopeless at cleaning). This mess will be all over my house in 2 days. If i utilized the rest of my 4000 sq ft home I'd make a mess everywhere and the house would stink to high heaven. It's best if I live small. It's kind of uncomfortable and not to my liking but im getting used to it. Getting out onto the beach does make it easier as I get to step out from my little box. I have to take on more duties like using the pool scooper'er to get the leaves out of my pool+ chemicalize it. I have no idea whet this process is called as I normally have a cleaner come to fix my pool each week .To be honest these changes are kind of stressful and annoying). I lead a more solitary existence now, but so what, I have a pool at the front of my property, a beach within 30 metres ( i have surf boards, and a jetski), a Harley in the garage and an ATV. I'm kind of set, as all of my toys only require me to operate them. No longer do I take out some hot Dominican on the back of my jetski...what the hell, they cant swim anyways ( I was always nervous should they fall off the the ski). Thats my life and its not particularly easy
