[Woman] How often are you leaving the house,

and for what?

Just a little to go on the walk with the puppy dog.

Two times a day to get groceries and to go on a bike ride.

In the last week, I haven't left the house at all.

Once a day, to walk my dog Bella.

I haven't really left my house

since the first two or three days.

I am not leaving my house very often.

And I'm mostly just leaving to get groceries.

We're not leaving our house at all.

We only leave the house when necessary

for things like groceries and toiletries.

My family and I decided

that we are not going to leave the house.

I've been leaving my house quite frequently, actually.

I only leave my house

if I'm going on a run in the morning.

I'm not really leaving my house at all.

Once every three days.

I've left two to three times this week.

Twice a day to get some fresh air.

Maybe once a day if at all.

About 5:30 every single day just to take a walk.

Once a week to the grocery store,

liquor store, I need wine.

Last week I did not leave the house at all.

I'm leaving the house about two times a week,

not including my daily walks.

Every day, once a day.

I'm leaving the house about once a day for a jog,

to get some fresh air and then go by the liquor store.

Every other day.

Once a day in the morning to go on a walk.

I've left my house one time,

and that was to go to the doctor.

I'm not really leaving the house.

Two to three times a week for essentials

and taking meals that I prepare for my 84-year-old mother.

I'm leaving once or twice a week for the essentials.

I've been leaving now like every other day.

I have to leave at least once a day,

maybe twice if it's a beautiful day.

I've been going to the supermarket about once a week.

I've gone to my local supermarket

at 7 AM for seniors hour.

I'm not leaving at all.

It's once a day, only to go for a walk.

I haven't left my house in over two weeks.
