Most of my RPG gaming is done online, so that’s fine. Maybe some Discord Kriegspiel. And lots of painting
With everyone working from home, kids playing online games, watching Netflix and everyone on social media I dont think the internet infrastructure is going to cope with the demand.
I think I will paint soldiers and read books.

I'm finishing up my current contract on Wednesday, and of course, no-one is hiring at the moment. Even without the plague sweeping the land I am likely to be facing time at home.
So I am going to finish painting the Vikings, complete the Japanese and British forces for CoC Malaya, then either start on Empress WW2 Italians, some Sharp Practice Peninsula forces, or the Flags of War Jacobite Kickstarter figs. There's no lead shortage.

I thought being in New Zealand, always counted as self isolation?

Well, that is the downside of going around grabbing strangers by the bollocks.

Just remember what happens when you finish painting the last little man in the lead pile......

At current painting rates, I anticipate I would need to live till 130 to achieve that, on the other hand, I do have reserve lead stocks in Australia, potentially preserving me for all time.

Sounds like good forward planning.

Currently on me hollibobs in Northunbria, God's own other country. Expecting to be grounded on return for the foreseeable due to high risk and pregnant wife. I can fairly easily work from home so that might be the thing for the next few months. Paternity leave starts in July so theres a growing possibility I wont see my office until August.
Soooo, I'm planning on finishing the shinys, nearly done, then carrying on with my 'new to me' Seljuk Turk Army. If I get my Romans done too that will be isolation well spent.
