Update: Almost poured Windex into my cup instead of iced tea.
Anyways…
I’m pretty concerned for my oldest sister. She’s at risk of getting Corona, so I’m pretty worried… She currently has a cold and her Crohn’s is flaring up because of stress. I hope she doesn’t get Corona, because it’d definitely put her in the hospital.
I’m pretty stressed and filled with anxiety at the moment. I quit my job in December so I could finish school stuff online full time and will be finished in June/July but the job market isn’t looking great thanks to the pandemic and Colorado being in lockdown. It was apparently great timing with my decision to leave my job…I’m also pretty worried about getting sick since I already have respiratory issues and no longer have health insurance.
But, I’m trying to stay positive though and hoping this all blows over soon. My brother was super awesome and bought me the new animal crossing game so I have been playing that the past couple of days and it’s great! It has been a very welcomed distraction.
I’m in Ontario, Canada. I was kind of a recluse before this and fortunately for me I can afford to stay home for a long time.
But I read about other people who have been laid off from their jobs and who are facing eviction because they have no money and their government isn’t getting aid to them so that they can get through this, and it’s heartbreaking.
I also saw a tweet earlier from somebody in the US saying this:
All these tweets about ppl seriously ill or dead due to #COVID19 imploring ppl to #StayHome. You get that if we quit our “essential jobs” we don’t qualify for unemployment, right? And that Congress excluded essential workers from the $600/wk bonus those safely at home will get?!
The United States has the money to prevent people from being put in that position. I can’t believe there’s even a debate over whether or not to do it.
I’ve heard what it’s like in NYC and predictions of what it will get to be like. I wish I could do more to help than just express sympathy and hope that things get better for all of you very soon. 
Well we were informed this morning that one of our fellow officers tested positive for the Virus so we all worked at home today. Furthermore our director basically quarantined us for 7 seven days so we can monitor ourselves. We at least get to work from home. So basically I can’t leave the house until next Friday.
My job is essential, so I’m one of 14 at my facility which normally staffs 100 people. It’s nice driving to work with no traffic, and the company has been buying lunch for my team and I for the last two weeks. Wearing masks/gloves all the time does get annoying, however.
i have a cat on my lap and some hot chocolate
Housing prices are getting more affordable, stocks are cheaper to buy, there is no traffic, my boss lets me work from home, there is no more air pollution, my wife finally let me use the garage to build a home gym…
you know what’s gross is in my area a bunch of stuff is out of stock or very limited but not things like toothpaste or shampoo…the fact these same people are not stocking up on basic hygiene supplies makes me think a lot of people are doing this for fun or something. maybe people are just that gross, idk.
two things that can severely weaken your immune system and put you at risk for a host of other problems would be not showering and not brushing your teeth. heck, not brushing your teeth can even cause serious cardiovascular problems.
Things have calmed down somewhat where I’m at, and the shelves are slowly filling back up. But good lord some people have lost their minds. One thing everybody forgets about food storage is you DO have to end up eating it.
I’m hoping that’ll happen here soon.
An update since I last posted in this thread: Went to a local market because Dad wanted some things (still making the big trip tomorrow), but while I was there … got elbowed in the face over a box of Pop-Tarts. -_- Yes, I’m serious.
She claimed it was an accident once I confronted her about it, but it so wasn’t. People are crazy, and she had a kid with her which meant she thought she could get away with that, because no one’s gonna hit a mom in front of their child. And … well, I guess she wasn’t wrong. But ugh that really got to me.
I’m so tired of this insane behavior from people. I would’ve given her the Pop-tarts if she’d asked, even, especially once I saw she had a kid. Like … alskjdflsjdl. 
Well my city is slowly going under because our hospitals now have to accommodate for the neighboring state that has too many cases to handle…
So not that great but I’m grateful for those who are helping with the effort
Not great but it’s chill. Wish I had bought something better than animal crossing. Already finished my island… no home gym equipment except bands.
Tried a park workout and ran into drug addicts into my first rep…
May pick up painting again even tho I was trash at it, but my last semester I was in school I finished painting, figure drawing 2, and maybe w color theory I’ll be able to do something better than I used to.
Idk. Just thinking out loud.
Not ok. Miss the gym. And the club. Played ow for first time in 9 weeks due to quarantine.
I’m tired.
I’m stressed.
I’m paranoid.
I’m in danger.
It’s all around me, and I am one of those ‘vulnerable members of society’ that you all hear so much about. I have a compromised immune system, asthma, and diabetes.
If I catch this, the odds are not in my favor.
And all I’ve wanted to do since this began is enjoy myself. Spend time with my dog. Talk to my boyfriend (from a distance). Facetime with my sister and my 9 month old nephew. Play the video games I love.
Then I log into Overwatch and every game is infested with smurfs or throwers or leavers or super toxic people. My win rate this season is like 42 percent and the previous two seasons it was 56 percent.
I can’t have any fun, I can’t win any games, and that’s all I want, you know? To maybe break out of gold on this account and get it to plat and just… have a good time and feel like I accomplished something, because I very well might die soon.
Gaming has been one of the biggest parts of my life for 38 years, since I was four and able to hold an Atari joystick. If I’m gonna die, I want my last couple weeks to be enjoyable. I keep logging in and hoping, and I keep logging off disappointed.
It probably seems silly and frivolous to everyone but me.
Everyone in my family has “essential” jobs, so we’re probably getting exposed to it sooner rather than later. Not happy about it, but it’s better than being in poverty, unless someone gets really sick. And my university was online already, so the professors haven’t let up for a moment. No “mental health” days for us. Sigh. I could use a mental health day or two, this anxiety is killer.
Hey I play yugioh too but I do it in Pro Percy duel simulator ( no official from Konami ), I buy those new flame noble knight when it’s out IRL april first. Duel Link I don’t really like this format. I wish Konami make an official programme like Magic Arena …
I work at a very large hospital, been making face masks for a couple hours a night; I finally have a day off and my internet is down -mega sad face-
My health is good, I work a lot and my immune system is strong but, work stress and work load is pushing unrealistic boundaries.
Please stop hoarding, some of us don’t have the time to go shopping and when we do, it really sucks to not have access to the things we need; I’m tired of having to use public restrooms. I just want to play Overwatch and forget about reality for a minute.
I’m actually doing really good. I Wouldn’t mind living like this permanently. I never realized just how much I hate outside life. I hate my “friends”, school made me super stressed, I was constantly tired. But now, I get tons of sleep, I don’t have to worry about “friends”, online school is way more manageable and I have lots of free time for my hobbies.
Well it’s like day 3 lockdown as of writing this.
I’m so so bored (if your on ps4 console wanna play archives hit ya girl up✌️). Apparently we have a national curfew now. I’m happy my prime minister keeps us updated every single day and even does Facebook live videos and answering the communities questions instead of just the press.
Overall, super super boring. I wanna get my diamond border and I’m super close, but because I am in the OCE region. I get like 30min queues in Archives and when it’s down time I get 10mins + in queuing for healer on quickplay.
4 weeks of this. Exciting…
Unless you’re in Australia, where our PM is utterly incompetent and has enforced merely “staying 1.5 metres away from one another at all times”, and has permitted two infected cruise ships to dock in Sydney…Guess where I live? 
Oh, and he’s also offering an extra $250 to people on welfare…Sucks for everyone else! The real estate companies have also just sent out emails to renters (of which I am one) informing them that they WILL be evicted from their rented homes if they fail to continue paying their rent, circumstances be damned. That made the news.
I was already stuck at home anyway, so me staying at home some more isn’t affecting me. Annoyed because my mother, a teacher, still has to go to work despite the kids not even being there, so I’m concerned for her. My father is stuck on the island where he has been working for the last few years because the borders are closed, so he’ll very likely miss his return date. God forbid there is an outbreak over there…I quite literally cannot bear the thought right now. My best friend also has asthma, so I’m worried about her in case she goes out, but this whole thing has her stressed, so I’m doubly stressed for her.
I’ve had a lot happen during the course of my life so far, so most things really don’t get to me anymore. So…it’s a strange feeling to suddenly spend days on end feeling anxious again. That’s not fun. I get stress headaches and chest pains, so I do experience the occasional “my time has come” moment…
I had to go out for something today, and the amount of people on the street shocked me. Frankly, I got really irritated. I mean…on the one hand, panicking is unnecessary and a lot of people really need to calm down. But on the other, taking some level of precaution would be great, lest things get worse…
And yes, I realise nobody cares what I have to say, but I really just felt like documenting this because, well, you asked
