How do you think David and Patrick would deal with the pandemic actually all of Schitt's creek.

there are lots of great thoughts about that over in my #headcanon tuesdays tag, which was a collaborative effort that started with discussion of what they’d be getting up to in quarantine (we eventually moved away from that, but the early posts def focus more on that).

generally though, i think that david and patrick’s life wouldn’t be terribly different from normal though, other than obviously being more cautious about distance, etc. the store would most likely be considered an essential service, so they really have just been working like usual all along, though probably switching to some kind of curbside pick-up service rather than letting people wander the shop, at least initially. their online orders are also keeping them very busy, and they hire on a few local teens who lost their jobs at unessential businesses to give them some part-time help packing orders. they def have partnered with their vendors to provide masks and a local distillery to provide hand sanitizer. they’re well-settled in at the house, being a year and a half into their marriage before quarantine starts, so they definitely have stevie over, and maybe even the brewers down for a day trip a few times, for some socially-distanced get-togethers in their backyard. they make good use of the grill they bought themselves for their anniversary, and plan over-the-top, at-home date nights, and try their hand at learning to be better cooks, and just generally do their best--now that there’s no baseball, no going out on weekends, no dinners at the cafe, no trips to visit their families--to make the most of all this unexpected alone time they’ve been given.

stevie is in sc a lot more, with way more zoom meetings with ruth and johnny and their investors now. progress is still continuing on the rosebud expansion because the renovations aren’t really something put on hold by the pandemic, though they do put off starting anything new until things are over. on the rare occasions that any of them do still need to physically travel to a location, johnny handles the u.s. locations and stevie the canadian ones, since the border is closed.

season 2 of the sunrise bay reboot managed to wrap up right before quarantine started, so moira is doing lots of online promo for that. alexis also gets her at-home gigs doing audiobook recording and voiceover work as the villain in a popular video game series.

alexis spends a lot of time teaching clients how to use instagram and twitter now that everyone is stuck at home all the time and thinks they need to find new ways to build their brand. it’s frustrating most days, but she loves it anyway.

roland does a great job of making sure that everyone in town stays safe and healthy, advocating to the county for resources when they need it and making sure all the residents are taking distancing and mask requirements seriously. jocelyn organizes grocery delivery for elderly and immunocompromised residents and virtual tutoring for students who need extra help with their online classes.

ray somehow starts 3 more businesses during the pandemic, and all of them are thriving.

ronnie builds more decks and patios and enclosed porch additions than she’s ever built in her life, now that everyone is spending all their time at home. she’s already planning a trip for when everything is over for her and her girlfriend to spend a week somewhere without a single backyard in sight.

jake takes his whiskey nights virtual, and everyone still has a great time.

the cafe is busier than ever, and twyla loves how it’s become even more of a central hub for the town. most people aren’t travelling over to elmdale for takeout, so the cafe is the only option in town for nights when you don’t want to cook. and once they’re allowed to have dining on the premises again, she converts the parking lot into outdoor patio seating, with string lights and potted plants and outdoor speakers playing old standards, and it becomes the hottest date night spot in the county for the simple, homey feel and twyla’s ever-present hospitality.
