How has the virus affected you directly?

On a bit more of a personal note, I have a pet that just started cancer treatment. I’ve had to wonder about whether she’ll be able to continue to receive treatments, and about the risks my wife and I are taking if/when we are able to take her in for treatments. This has added a very uncomfortable layer to all the other considerations.

That's rough. That's a hard enough situation to deal with without the virus stuff on top.
 
This has effected my life over the last two months in more ways than I can list. It's completely changed my current plans and changed the direction of my future plans drastically. The bright note is that I've basically been in some sort of quarantine with my girlfriend for 2 months and it's been great. I moved to live with her sooner than anticipated because of this.
 
Full disclosure, and this is not something I've mentioned here yet: My son (31 yrs old) died 2 weeks ago. We had to go to a viewing and the cremation. In Seattle. Last Monday. We just got back on Wednesday. My 84 years old father came with us. I am absolutely terrified that he caught it up there.

Also, the memorial is being delayed, because... well, of course it is.

I'm very sorry to hear that. That's a lot to deal with anytime. My condolences to you and your family. You have my deepest sympathy. Let us know if we can help in any way.
 
Sorry to hear that gandalfe, I dont know why I always thought you were much younger.

Today my gym just closed. My work sent home anyone over 50 years old. I'm still expected to go in until they say otherwise. At work we usually do a march madness bracket but nope, not this year.

My brother was planning on a trip to slc but obviously thats not happening.
 
Came back from Reno three days early. Have been told to work from home until otherwise.

Had to cram 6 months of build (that leadership didn't want to do) in a week.

And I may have contracted one of the strains of the flu, but highlighly lucklikely CoVID19

That's sad. Sorry you've had to have worry on top of sorrow.

We’ve got 5 kids. The oldest two are in school and the third is in pre-school. My wife doesn’t work. My main job I’ve been going in until tomorrow. We’re no longer seeing people unless it’s urgent, so managing things all over the phone from tomorrow on. It’s nice I can do that from home but in the end it’s questionable how that will be reimbursed. I have a job that I do entirely remotely anyway once weekly, so that’s unchanged and, if anything, became easier without having to go in during the week. Another job is in person but can be fairly remote. I just have to cover in the hospital this weekend in person and it will be interesting to see how that works out. We’ve got plenty of stuff for the kids to do here. Unfortunately, they just want to be on electronics. The past couple days with everything shut down and being physically at work, kept thinking how I’d rather just be working at home. It’s about a 30 minute commute for me, so saving an hour a day is huge. Again, may not be getting paid for what I do, though. At least as of now.

4 kids now not in school... they are driving my wife flipping nuts... I’m home too... she hates electronics and I kinda just have to tell her to chill... son games online with his friends so it pulls them in even harder.
