    East Anglia, UK, 7/4/2020

    9. When you hear about COVID-19 on the news, do you think they’re exaggerating (making the virus sound worse than it is), playing it down (making it sound like things are better than they actually are right now), or reporting accurately?
    Depending on the source, any of the three.

    10. A witch has granted you a protective spell that you may cast on one and only one celebrity to make them immune to the virus. Who do you cast the spell on and why?
    UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson - he developed symptoms and tested positive 10 days ago. Tonight he was placed in intensive care. Regardless of what you think of UK politics, or his politics, our country needs the stability of our elected leader, and he has a new baby on the way. Please keep him in your thoughts. I've talked to three of my Gods (something I rarely do) and asked them to help him to recover.

    I'm tagging @rosemow , @DeKay , and @applefeather2

    Thanks for the tag, @Ellupelluellu!

    1. How many rolls of toilet paper do you have in your house right now?
    Less than we'd usually have ;_; We usually buy a packet a week, which lasts us for two, so we generally have a decent amount stocked up. We haven't been able to buy any more in weeks.

    2. Which items have you bought online so far that you would normally not get online?
    Fresh produce. Normally we do most of the grocery shop online but get fresh produce in person, but. Yeah, not leaving.

    3. Name 3 food items that you're obsessed with and hope you never run out of.
    Kelp furikake seasoning, dried ramen, dark chocolate.

    4. Name a food item you would never eat, no matter how bad things get.
    I mean, animal products. ...Also, avocado. That stuff is nasty.

    5. What's your favorite brand of bottled water?
    Don't use bottled water, the tap water here is high quality.

    6. What's your favorite social isolation activity to do by yourself (other than video games and The Sims forums)?
    Most of them. Instagram, I guess?

    7. What was your favorite social activity before the pandemic?
    tbh I'm usually an antisocial blob at the best of times and only really interact with immediate family anyway! I do miss going out to a cafe or something for breakfast, though.

    8. Which country and state/province/territory/etc. (choose whatever's applicable) are you in, and what month/year are you filling this out?
    Nearish Sydney, Australia; early April 2020.

    9. When you hear about COVID-19 on the news, do you think they're exaggerating (making the virus sound worse than it is), playing it down (making it sound like things are better than they actually are right now), or reporting accurately?
    Accurately, or at least in the media I follow. I do think the media isn't completely accurate on numbers, but that's due to a lack of knowledge, not a lack of integrity. There are likely a ton of cases that aren't being diagnosed.

    10. A witch has granted you a protective spell that you may cast on one and only one celebrity to make them immune to the virus. Who do you cast the spell on and why?
    If it has to be a celebrity and not health care workers or vulnerable people in general? Sir David Attenborough. He's nearly 94!
    6. What’s your favorite social isolation activity to do by yourself (other than video games and The Sims forums)?
    Talk about Queen. Listen to Queen. All things Queen.

    Heck yeah. I follow Brian on Insta and he is an absolute gift <3

    1. How many rolls of toilet paper do you have in your house right now?

    7 in a package and 2 being used 😄

    2. Which items have you bought online so far that you would normally not get online?

    Paper plates... I think, lol 🤔

    3. Name 3 food items that you’re obsessed with and hope you never run out of.

    Tough to decide. There’s almost nothing I like to eat that I’m supposed to eat 🤔 ..... Peanut butter works for both, if I could eat anything I wanted I’d probably add chimichangas (with guacamole 😉) and Almond Joy candy bars 😂

    4. Name a food item you would never eat, no matter how bad things get.

    To keep it pandemic related I will say Spam. Yuck - so yuck

    5. What’s your favorite brand of bottled water?

    Ice Mountain 🧊⛰ 😂

    6. What’s your favorite social isolation activity to do by yourself (other than video games and being on the forum).

    Editing screenshots and writing Sim lit. Lol I don’t do anything but Sim, in one form or another.

    7. What was your favorite social activity before the pandemic?

    I am extremely antisocial in person, so I do no social activities in real life. I socialize here 😂 So, nothing has changed at all.

    8. Which country and state/province/territory/etc. (choose whatever’s applicable) are you in, and what month/year are you filling this out?

    I’m in the Great Lakes region, USA, it’s April, 2020

    9. When you hear about COVID-19 on the news, do you think they’re exaggerating (making the virus sound worse than it is), playing it down (making it sound like things are better than they actually are right now), or reporting accurately?

    I don’t think they are making it sound worse than it is, because it’s bad. However, they are neglecting to mention much of the good news, the recoveries, the fact that it’s mainly only affecting specific types of people, the zillions of people who are following the guidelines, only concentrating on those who aren’t. Etc.

    10. A witch has granted you a protective spell that you may cast on one and only one celebrity to make them immune to the virus. Who do you cast the spell on and why?

    I’m very distracted right now and can’t think of a celebrity I’d save, as a celebrity is usually defined. There is a politician that I would give it too, but.... I’m not going to name the person, lol. Someone would be upset no matter who I mention. 😂 If you look at my signature you can probably figure it out 😉

    Thanks for the fun activity!

    9. When you hear about COVID-19 on the news, do you think they’re exaggerating (making the virus sound worse than it is), playing it down (making it sound like things are better than they actually are right now), or reporting accurately?
    That depends on which one's giving the news. That country I can't name but is known anyway as "Ground Zero" is playing it waaay down (a.k.a. lying) without accountability, Mainland Western Europe has been factual about it so far, not hearing news from the eastern end, Korea and Japan are accurate about it, Taiwan is lacking information, Hong Kong is in too much of a mess to determine accurate numbers, USA has been...also up in the air because reasons. Any land under the domain of Her Majesty has been accurate so far.

    10. A witch has granted you a protective spell that you may cast on one and only one celebrity to make them immune to the virus. Who do you cast the spell on and why?
    Betty White! I wanna see who will live longest, her or Her Majesty.

    I can't tag anyone because the people who talk to me in this forum are already here.
