Good you asked. I am staying at home, sort of home arrest. My area (Thane, Mumbai) is containment area since lock down began. Surrounding areas get barricaded shut, open and shut again. 2 big hospitals within 500m radius were sealed because doctors and staff got infected. Some other buildings, too. A govt. dispensary and a police station are less than 100m away but this curfew like situation is likely to continue for at least a couple of months more. Not that I am tired of it and would venture out.
One vegetable and fruit tempo is arranged by local corporator for our building once a week. Women in masks from each flat go one by one to buy them. Milk and groceries
...

(and medicines to those who depend on them) are home delivered. That's all about outside contact we get.
I wish you and everybody don't suffer any such period in life. For that, people who understand dangers of this virus should contribute by staying home and appealing others to do the same. Irresponsible politicians are making things worst by spreading misinformation among the vulnerable. FYI, presently the worst affected cluster in Mumbai (or India) is Dharavi, Asia's largest slum home to over a million poor and vulnerable.
Sure, offer them free travel to home and spread the virus to hitherto uninfected areas is what you seem to be advocating. You are in good company. Apart from politicians, even Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh is also advocating the same.
