Poorly
Pretty well. My country did it for a month, beat the virus, ended quarantine, and now everything is hunky-dory.
It really ended just as we were starting to get fed up with staying inside.
Have virtual hangouts. Get them all in a discord and play Jackbox. It’s a party game. Number six is pretty good. Only one person has to buy it and set stuff up, then it’s really simple for everyone else.
If that’s too hard, play draw.io together.
It’s not as good as in person, but it’s a hell of a lot better than being disconnected.
You’re in an odd period where everyone has the common feeling of being intensely alone. You can forge community out of that.
I swear to god covid hit here before the news coverage. the flu this winter was taking young, healthy people out for multiple weeks and several are still struggling to recover.
Yeah I really suspect that it was COVID even though I got sick the last week of February. I have never had such a long recovery from illness, even when I got mono. I believe I picked up whatever it was from a college bar and we had confirmed COVID cases on campus three weeks after this. When I went to urgent care at the time though they only tested me for the flu.
yea, it went through my office and someone told me what it was like - symptoms lined up with covid. I think the only reason I didn’t get it was that I was mostly working from home at the time due to major deadlines and no longer having the time to commute. I was sleeping so little that shit would have fucked me up.
so all that to say, I’m super sorry it you’re stuck dealing with this. strength.
I’ve gotten like ten times better at cooking and baking but ten times worse at being sane.
