    It will depend on the conditions in your area. There will not be a blanket declaration for the whole country.

    When new cases aren't reported in your place for a continuous period of time.
    It's better to keep buffer of 15 days to 1 month after the govt /agency give an official date to start going out. We never know how and when this pandemic will stop completely. So even after the lock down is relaxed we should be in safe zones protecting ourselves and our family.

    Oh.. firstly, I am not in the US so, sorry cant answer your question :(.

    But I read your post I think to another covid thread 1-2 weeks ago and you sounded relieved that its actually giving you a break from your dreaded friends/ relatives. I felt glad that you got a break! that you badly needed...Also you mentioned that you were enjoying good family time and cooking, so thought that at least some of us were doing ok and good midst of all this heart wrenching times.


    So ...was just curious on this post.

    Am still fine but feeling guilty kid is missing her school and activities .Plus she gets bored and watches more tv than normal.


    I feel very secure with family at home but also work load increased. Plus my mild OCD isn’t helping.

    I was just curious as to when life will be back to normal.

    Hope things are okay at your end

    It is going to take at least a month to get to the peak of the curve where I leave. So I guess it is probably going to take another month to flatten the curve and to be safe to go out. Since I am currently pregnant and considered high risk category, I am not planning to step out for next couple months. It is hard, but we will have to pull it through.

    Don't your kid have online school? if you can come up with a routine , and this is a good time to teach her something you have planned and never got time.
    How is the local Indian association handling this situation? Ours have started to provide free regional language classes and such for the kids online. See if there is anything like that.
    If you have a yard space, let her play outside even if it is a little cold, this will help in making her fall asleep easier at night. We go out for regular walks in the neighborhood, while maintaining social distancing.
    Talking to grand parents and close relatives helps kill time, but add more worries if you are not in good terms.
