Cultural Care informed me that they are working with APs whose visas may be expiring soon to get emergency extensions.

Our Bp's expires on May 22. This is going to be an issue for him, I suspect. Whom did you call at CCAP?

I have not heard of any home countries not allowing citizens or permanent residents back in.

That is not the problem. Problem is lost flights are being cancelled for lack of passenger and some cities are under curfew so you can’t really leave.

I was told to reach out to my LCC who would put me in touch with her Program Director (i think)

What a thread, gyms are no more "breeding grounds for germs" than any other public place and have the added benefit of keeping you healthy. It is going to be bad in America because of so many obese diabetic and so forth but the gym is not where they are

Gyms are great for spreading germs like covid. Moist, warm, plenty of touch points that also happen to be hard surfaces. The virus can survive up to 3 days. Unless the gym is disinfecting every machine after each person uses it, and doing the same in the changing room, as well as observing the 6 foot rule. Additionally, most people would breathe more rapidly and/or more deeply while working out, leading to more intake of germs.

She is adult woman. You cannot restrict her movements. If the gym is still open, let her go.

. Wrong! If she is in the program then she complied with normal safety practices. I know if no one going to the gym. In fact, ours closed three weeks ago. If she disobeys then just family and goes to the gym she doesn’t return. Call and demand a rematch

Your grammar is so poor no one can divine your meaning...

I kind of wish ours would go home at this point. Enough of us all together all day. She looks miserable and is doing half the job at this point.

Ours just went home and it was a HUGE relief! On Monday we have a neighborhood girl home from college starting. It will be SPECTACULAR to have someone who goes home at 5 each day. Bonus points is she is an education major!

Yeah, this would be ideal. Ours is getting extra mopey and it’s just wearing on me.

Same. Mine is actually still doing a good job, but there's just less for her to do since everything is closed.

I think we're all miserable and need a break from each other.

It is just really hard to be trapped in a home with anyone other than blood related immediate family.

Is it ok to be trapped in one's home with your adopted sister and adopted child? Neither of those is blood-related.

Ours left. Most of her friends had already gone. When they canceled school for the rest of the year, it was clear it wasn’t getting better any time soon.
