Others locked down without food

 

Sharing some screen shots of morning and aftenoon headlines today. I don't think I really ever read the Khmer Times before but now I check it everyday. They post the covid stats up the top.
A workmate of someone known to us tested positive and their whole company has been shut up and they all have to stay there for 2 weeks. 

Hopefully they will be given food, but it sounds like she will have no access to her clothes, bed, money etc, only what she had with her at work today (or whatever day it happened).

Its happening in a town about 3 hours from here and Im only hearing it 2nd hand so Im not sure of details.

Her parents are stuck in another town, unable to go to work and with no money to buy food. 

In a 3rd town her other family members are together, also with no work, school or income.
My last ride- 2 weeks ago.


Maybe day 12ish of village lockdown, although its 14 days since they found the case here and closed the market. 

Our hopes we would be let out after a fortnight don't seem realistic. Some say we have 5 more days, other say 2 more weeks. Our bans and curfews keep being extended so Im not surprised. 
And even we we so get let out, I dont want to risk getting stuck away from family, like Ive seen happen to so many people.
Also I might not be able to access the supermarket anyway, if its in a lockdown commune.

Day 4 of our new year in homeschool. I started printing maths worksheets on the back of old used worksheets, thus getting around the lack of printer paper. Lucky we bought a printer recently, I had been going into town to get school work printed.

We haven't started maths yet, all they want to do is write and draw in their journals, since we watched Anne Frank. Miss likes copying songs, her own idea. Master seems to write about WW2 and my nose.

A few online maths programs were the backbone of maths before, but atm they aren't interested. Perhaps thats good as the internet isn't fast and stable enough anyway.
