How are you dealing with the COVID-19 related lockdowns?

Hi everyone!
Just thought to post here, so we can talk about how we are dealing with COVID-19.
How is everyone doing? In my city, we are on enhanced community quarantine--on the second week now. The entire Luzon island in the Philippines is on such lockdown. We are required to stay at home, although one person from each household can go out to buy food, medicines, and essentials.
My city has 9 confirmed cases, so far, with 3 deceased. Our governor is confirmed positive, and the mayor (the governor's daughter in law actually) is also a person under monitoring.
If this escalates, our community might go into higher level of quarantine, which means we can't go out even to buy food. In recent days I've been stocking up on non-persihables and water for any such emergency.
I'm also concerned, since my sister is a front-liner, being a resident at one of the local hospitals in my city. My parents are also senior citizens, so they are at risk. My 5 kids are healthy, but they've been restless due to the sudden cancellation of school activities. I've been working remote for 15 years now, so nothing really new in terms of routine, except the dire feeling that the world has suddenly changed.
Been monitoring my station on 2 meter, 70cm and digital. On DMR, I'm mostly on TG51518, although we've been using TG515 for nationwide discussion of such issues. I saw that BM has set 98009 as the World Events - Coronavirus TG.
Here's hoping everyone is OK.
