My husband's main concern is not to contract the virus, and he has been successful in altering and limiting his daily activities to pursue this goal.
This change is amazing, since he used to spend two hours of every three hours outside of the home every single day, without any exception. When asked to stay home on social occasions, and other life situations, his mood would turn sour after two hours.
But now, he calmly spends his whole day at home. Paces the small living/dining space with his phone in hand to get his 2KM daily walk everyday. Eats his breakfast and lunch at home, something that probably happened less than the count of my fingers over the course of 8 years marriage. Get his work done remotely, and watches T.V. with our daughter.
He rarely helps out with the work around the house, that has not been his thing, and he is not about to change now that he's at home all the time to see the amount of work that goes on daily to keep the house and life in general running.
He can continue with this lifestyle until it's declared safe to go out.

How is this quarantine changing the way my toddler perceives the world?
To her, with limited vocabulary, certain things such as school, supermarket, library, parks, are "broken".
I am trying my best to convince her, it's "broken", but not for good, and not only for her.
She gets excited to meet her friends virtually but half way through the meet up she tears up, and starts shaking her head, that she no longer wants to continue with this. These days she can spent hours with the animated characters, she knows their names, and happily references them in her conversation. Reminding her of the names of her real life friends have the reverse effect on her mood.
I am trying my best to convince her, no matter what the situation, we need to keep in touch with our real friends, even if they aren't physically close to us.
The idea of fresh air, and spending time outdoors appeals to her, but when we are out, with careful planning ahead, and much caution, it only takes 10 minutes for her to ask to go home.
While our governments' effort in taking slow, and calculated steps to reopen our economy is much appreciated, kids and their re-integration in the normal cycle of life should be discussed too.
