Miss Philosopher:
This isn't a vent but I wanted to know how everyone is doing during this crisis. Is everyone alright? Did anyone catch the virus? Lose jobs? How are you all holding up?

I lost my job, hopefully just temporarily. I work for an attorney and since the court's sort of shut down outside of emergency hearings, attorneys are not being paid or their pay is delayed by over a month. Didn't get the virus and don't feel like I will. That's my only update.

Hello to everyone! 

I am also sorry to hear of others' job loss, my heart goes out to anyone suffering right now whether it's due to health or economic circumstances.  I feel very fortunate that I am in IT and am able to work remotely right now.

I live near a major metropolitan area in the U.S. and cases are definitely growing here.  I'm in my 40's and have a couple of health conditions, plus I am currently living with my parents who are in their 70's, so I am very concerned to say the least.  Although we are only leaving the house for necessities, it still equates to a couple of errands a week - and although I am trying to be careful, it's still anxiety-provoking.  I just told my parents that from now on, I will be the only one who leaves the house to run errands and will keep my distance from them as much as possible while I'm home.  I have had a cold/sore throat recently with no fever (just one day out of the week with a 99.1 temp, otherwise normal) and my mom has strep throat and is on antibiotics.  The last thing we (or anyone) needs is COVID-19...

Please everyone stay safe, and keep hope and good spirits alive as much as possible during this difficult time!! ❤️

Fortunately, I am also in a business that hasn't seen a slowdown.  On top of that, we were fully set up to work remotely.  We are a national company a every employee has a choice between working from home or going into the office.  I feel blessed.

I am single and still have to run out a couple of times a week for necessities.  Like the rest of you, I try to be careful but I am still a bit concerned. 

I hope all of you remain healthy.

I work for a huge company and my job is essential. I go into 5 or 6 packed grocery stores a day and come into contact with a minimum of 1,000 people a day. I now have a certificate to show cops when they pull me over for being outside my home lol. Don't worry about me I'm healthy and don't fear getting the virus. Plus I just got a big pay raise and I get a daily hazard pay bonus now 😀
