How has the virus affected you directly?

Hell no. Being president seems like it would suck ***. Even if you were literally the best president of all time and performed your job at the maximum level of perfection you would still have a huge percentage of the population who hated you and think you suck at your job.

People hate the **** out of me for a lot less money. Arseholes on the radio were going on about their concern for professional footballers on half pay and their mental health. I was like wanna swap? Im depressed staying home, doing nothing being paid 200k. Some people are ****ed so many ways i struggle to know where to begin.
 
I'm in my 30s so I'm less worried about myself, but my mother is a nurse and her hospital has already been hit with cases of corona virus that required quarantine and closing of the hospital for disinfection for about 5 days. I'm really worried about my mom. She's been a nurse all her life and she loves her patients and co-workers. She's the head nurse of her ward and is responsible for about two dozens of nurses and sanitary workers. When they put her hospital under quarantine, it caught her outside of the hospital but after the second day she went to the hospital and wanted to break the quarantine and get in to help her coworkers because they were massively overworked and had been working for close to 3 days non-stop caring for the patients still left in the hospital during the quarantine. They didn't let her in. My point is - she's not the type to think about herself first in emergency situations. I've been reading a ton of stories about how many of the medical workers get the virus during work and how they are in much more of a risk than regular people because they usually get a much more potent and higher dose of the virus and have harder time battling the virus. She's getting close to her 60s and she's been a smoker all her life. I'm on pins and needles all the time and the fact that they don't seem to be getting the required protection doesn't help. Last week they told them they didn't have the protective gowns that WHO recommends so they were told to instead just put on 2 sets of their regular work uniforms instead. Yesterday she was disinfecting 5-6 masks she has in the oven. LIKE WTF?

And we haven't even hit anywhere close to the peak yet. This thing will be getting worse and worse for a while. I don't know what to do. I've been trying to make her quit smoking for ages, I've tried again after this thing hit... but she's not going to quit now... if anything the anxiety and overworking probably makes her smoke more now. No idea what else I can do ...
