I typically enjoy my own space anyway, I’m now exploring other things I can enjoy, I’m more great full that all this isolation and stuff is causing our planet too thrive I think we’re also becoming closer in communities x3

No...... *kitten* No.
If you want to stay home when this *kitten*Show is over, then by all means, stay home.
Stay home now, stay home then.... stay alone when ever you like; no worries. Freedom of Choice.
I'm not going to look for the bright side when there is financial devastation, along with a mental health crisis triggered by the pandemic.
Also, and not directed at anyone specifically here or anywhere else .... but if you applaud the pandemic and it's ramifications for any reason, then there is no limits to your narcissism.
As for the planet, it was around for a very, very long time before us, and it will be around for a very long time after we're all gone. The planet is just fine.

You’d love my governor. He’s the best 😍
I don’t think anyone is thankful for the pandemic though.. there’s a big difference between thinking a situation is great and merely finding any silver lining you can in a bad situation. The latter is exactly how I’m managing my own mental health in all this5 -

I'm content and happy as an introvert as well!
(Not happy with Covid19 or anyone negatively affected. I feel I have to add this disclaimer for those who don't get it)2 -

Until further notice, which comes on May 15th.
The natives are restless and word is that there will be a gradual reopening of the state.
The comparison was flipping a light switch vs. turning up a dimmer switch has been made.
A lot of small businesses won't survive another month of lockdown.2 -
Corona wasn’t a choice. How it was handled was.

My state was never shut down but schools and nonessential businesses closed. Those restrictions were lifted on Friday but distance learning will continue and no sports/graduations/etc will happen1 -
As someone in healthcare, I am struggling to find anything positive other than the fact that I get an occasional few days off. My mental health is suffering to the point where getting out of bed is a struggle, but I power through my days because I refuse to let this beat me. I go to work every single day forcing a smile for people that rely on me to support their physical and emotional needs. I'm tired. I'm done. This *kitten* needs to end. I need my sanity and my life back, but certainly not at the expense of anyone elses health or well being.

Doug seems like a decent guy.
There seems to be some other governors whom could learn a thing or two from him.1 -

Thank you. 💜1 -
I'm pretty happy in the fact I've got a job where i can work from home and my hours weren't cut. I've been more productive working from home honestly.
i don't even mind the businesses that ask me to wear a mask to go inside. because they were also nice enough to install cameras at the self checkouts years ago. and those just aren't very effective when you wear a mask.
the real silver lining though is all the spare time I've been devoting to doomsday prepping for when there isn't a country anymore7 -
Was just having a conversation with someone who explained to me what lockdown looks like in some countries.
Apparently there are people who live in little apartments which are just part of massive buildings many, many floors high. Nowhere around or outside to call your own where you can go on the property.
It's either inside your apartment or out of the building, so lockdown means staring at those four walls for a few weeks. Not my reality, and I hope somebody can tell me it isn't actually that bad.4 -
I'm saving tons of money because of it. And it's taking some getting used to but I'm starting to mind less and less. I go riding my bike around downtown and treat the mostly abandoned city like my playground.2

I am an introvert also and I hate this. Being an introvert doesn't mean you don't want to see people ever. I have been isolated since March 14th and I live alone. Thankfully I am still working from home so at least I have something to focus on and I'm still getting paid (for now). I miss the option to go out and do things with friends, or even get out and do things by myself. I used to like going to movies or shopping alone, for example. I'm sure I'm handling it better than extroverted people but this would never be my choice.3

I am not a real introvert, but definatly not a extrovert either.
I seem to be handling this social distancing fine for now, but i miss things like going to the gym, eating out, my bowling
Over here in The Netherlands we are allowed to go outside, but just keep your distance to eachother.
But on the other hand i see the big stores opening again, and people acting like it's black friday to get in.
I live in a small appartment with my wife and we seem to fight over little things a lot more lately, that is because we are forced to live much more time in a day, on a small amount of space, were we would normally both work, me in the office, her in healthcare.
She misses her alone time when i would have been at work and she could do her thing at home.
On the bright side, we do go out more together a lot, yesterday went for a cycle together and were out for almost 4 hours, were we usually would have spended most time sitting at home relaxing after a hard week work.
Also i seem to get much better sleep since this "lockdown"
Ofcourse there are more negative things to this pandemic, but let's also not forget to see the good things in live
For people having a business of their own, i feel very sorry for them in these hard times if they can't be open right now. And i hope those people will survive this economically5 -
ME! I am living my best life possible. Apart from the kids not going to school and us having to homeschool our 10 year old (somewhat unsuccessfully), I am having the best time ever. I love every second of staying at home and not having to be around people constantly. I'm going to be super-depressed when I have to work in an office again. (I do desperately miss the gym and going to the movies, though) I still do everything I would have normally done as far as going to the stores and things like that.3

No, because I'm able to see beyond my own little world.
I might be okay, but many people are not.9 -
I think happiness is a choice we can make each and every day. Whether it's a lockdown or a hoedown, we decide if we want to be happy. It's a powerful thing.6

Im not happy that my freedoms and luxuries (I guess) have been taken away.
I am happy (and gratetful) that my job is 'essential', and I "get" to go to work, leave my home and get my whole paycheque.
Honestly, if I had to stay home...I'd go batshit and prob become a danger to myself
The 'new normal' at work is a lot more work for us, but there are definite perks too. It feels a lot 'closer', like a little family who dosen't have to hold back what we want to say because clients aren't in the clinic.
"Social distancing" in public especially, is great for me - I'm a claustrophobic, ocd germophobe.
I don't understand where all the governments are pulling all this "extra" money out from - and it scares me...what the future repercussions may be - it doesn't make sense to me. Like a lot of the general working class is now dependent, I feel for them - and have been afraid that I'm an inch away from that too, if my place of business was closed, or the income was majorly down
...but what about before? The dependent - why didn't the governments whip out a bunch of money for them?
...fishy to me - and can't possibly have a good outcome is my suspicion. But again - I can't comprehend what the future repercussions may be - except it's all bad.
Is this is the trial run? Intro to the end of days/nations, a dystopian future?
...if so I am ill prepared - but I have a lot of canned food and TP

In a year from now, if I haven't been exposed and died because of some selfish bare-faced jerk in the market, I will be quite happy to be accused of having over-reaacted today.
our company has been on work-at-home since march 17th, and we're told to expect it to stay this way thru june, maybe longer. our owner is in Italy, and giving us all the news of what to expect.
this recent wave of back to work orders around the company is going to bite alot of folks hard; it is n't going to be easy to watch this take place.
my heart bleeds for every one of the THOUSANDS who have died so far, in such a short time.
this whole thing just stinks.
be safe as you can.
