Considering I work in travel, this is an absolute disaster. On a personal note though, it has given me a chance to catch up on all 'life admin', spend time with the girlfriend and call friends for a catch up. What else has COVID-19 proven (stolen but I still agree): - The jobs we were told couldn't be done remotely can actually be done remotely - Disabled people could have been working from home, however some corporations just did not want them to - Internet is a utiity not a luxury - Universal healthcare is necessary I (we) have also heard barely anything about ISIS or gender fluidity while this has been happening. Now that you all have time, I would recommend watching The Truman Show then The Matrix. That could be a starting point for your research. In the meantime, I hope all of our friends and family stay safe.

Safe here. Working from home since March 16. Love it. I could get used to it. The only problem will be losing the weight I will put on due to all the snacking. Prior to this s%$#! breaking out I booked my airplane tickets for Greece for end of June. Now everything is up in the air. Netflix is getting a workout at my house. Managed to finish the new season of Narcos Mexico. Also saw The English Game which I highly recommend. That way I got to see some form of football on TV.

I've been working from home since the 13th, with my lockdown starting the next day (Saturday). This has been so boring. I have nothing to do apart from eating the many delicious snacks I have. I'm also in grad school, and after they extended spring break by a week (due to their not being prepared for this obvious viral emergency), we are just now returning to school. However, the entire rest of the semester will be strictly online, which I loathe. I was going to take an intensive, one-week-long class in early May but I thought to myself, "do I really want to be stuck in a room for 40 hours with these disgusting freaks?" So I guess that won't be happening.

Hope that guy on the left goes nowhere near the team.

Thanks for asking, Bafra. And it is quiet. Weird times. Everything is still safe for me and my family. But is boring as hell. No football (playing or watching), haven't seen my parents or inlaws in three weeks (live), working at home. And I don't think the situation will be different in the summer. So no vitamin-Greece probably this year. Stay safe, guys!

Yep. I think its peoples coping mechanism, so try and be gentle with her. Something Ive learned about the elderly. Often, although they enjoy their lives, they are marking time. The older they get, the more of their friends they have lost. The more of themselves they lose. They aren't what they used to be, and any attempt to stop them is met with resistance. This resilience you're facing is often the reason they are living longer lives, so rather than fight it, assist them to take some precautions and continue as best they can. ?

Stay safe everyone, ride this thing out and check in on your loved ones. Our grandma has issues with asma and she is taking the whole thing way too lightly going out several times a day. We're trying to tell her that we will run her errands (she has 6 grandkids here with cars and ready to help). Hope the crazy old bat gets the message, but she is showing signs of having not a single f**k to spare. Hopefully the internet doesn't crash, if it does it is zombie apocalypse time.
