Quarantine - How is life different for you?

verucassault
Is the CDC/gov imposed quarantine from COVID-19 changing anything with your life? Are you not able to go to work, or school? Are you doing things remotely? Has it hampered any plans or events you had set, concerts, weddings, proms, etc. I know some of this was touched upon in the other thread, but I want to make this one specifically about what quarantine has done to change your day-to-day life. Have you picked up a new hobby or gone back to an old one? Is it effecting your mental health? My job is allowing us to work from home but because it's regarding Emergency Medicine, too many things change day to day for us to keep up. We are waiting for direction from our admin, but really it's like waiting for our own areas to be ran down by the virus. I live with my boyfriend whom I met here, Arc. He is working from home now too so now we are around each other constantly and we are both introverts. Sometimes I need quiet and alone time. We don't have kids, but we have pets. Pets are a great comfort right now. He and I are both artistic and come from artistic backgrounds. Before all this happened I was looking for all my art supplies so I could start drawing and painting again but, honestly, I've been too stressed to start. We are doing our best to stay out of public places and try to limit grocery shopping to 1-2 x per week. When we go out, we are wearing gloves. When we do go out, I'm amazed to see how many people are wandering the sidewalks. I seriously drive by in my head going, "dead, dead.. dead... there's one. dead." Just because infections are there before symptoms show. I also get pissed that people aren't taking it seriously. Two days before they announced all public places were closed, like parks, people were all over the junglegym. This was about when New York was also starting to explode and testing started. When we went out yesterday, there were still people in the park. Not on the junglegym, but stalking it like they wanted to. It was taped off with caution tape. I get people are going stir-crazy, and getting cabin fever. And kids don't understand nothing like this has ever happened before in our lifetime. We were not prepared. They have protocols for scenarios like this which is the whole purpose of the Center for Disease Control, but still we've never lived through this. And there aren't many 100 year olds around that did so for the Spanish Flu.

Luckily I live out in the country so I can safely go outside with any worry but I’ve been playing so much PlayStation it’s getting boring 0.o I think I’ve obtain the platinum for 5 games already sense this all started

Maybe I should dig up my old laptop and make music again to occupy my time

Being the introverted shit i am along with the fact that i haven't been allowed to go outside frequently in the past 3 years on the pretext of studies, quarantine has made little to no difference for me

Same but I feel like I want to actually use my freedom when I get it again because now I know how it feels to have it taken away.
