As the coronavirus continues to spread, more and more of us are practicing social distancing, working remotely from home or under quarantine Check in here to share your experience. Here in New Jersey, I am off from work since all schools are shut down. We are working remotely from home. I have isolated myself in my home and only going out for essentials.

Msig Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hi I've been working from home for a week now and I also go out only for essentials. It's driving me mad but at least I have more time to get things done in my home, as all of my after-work activities have been cancelled for the time being. I had tickets for the 10 March show, but that was cancelled, and in the end I didn't go to Paris at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapertje Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I live in the Netherlands. Since yesterday we are in lockdown. Last week I was in Paris for the last Madame X concert. Got back on Thursday. I work for television and I have to work in the studio, so I have to go to work every day! I run outside and for the rest enjoy myself with music and film.

jjmor95 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Well, today's my first day of self-quarantine. Not easy, but necessary. A little story as to how I got to this moment, I was in Barcelona on Thursday morning for a project that was abruptly cancelled late that night. The companies involved in this trip and the Spanish government assured us that they had taken all necessary precautions to ensure our safety, but as we all now know everything went into a frenzy. Couldn't leave until Sunday, so I stayed inside the hotel because the city was already shutting down. As a preventive measure, the company's asking all of us who traveled to self-quarantine and send in results of daily temperature checks. As for home, it's more or less the same situation as other countries. An island-wide lockdown for residents until March 31st and a 9 PM to 5 AM curfew. Everything canceled. We're at 5 confirmed cases but there's still a long way to go. Stay safe and clean, everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelmadfan Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I’ve been holed up at home for over a week now. Did my grocery shopping over a three day period the week before, because I’m petite and have a bad back. (No hoarding!) So far no cases here, but a neighbor told me of a nearby parochial school and a Christian University who went to Italy against everyone’s warnings. So I’m sure it’s here, but how can we know since there’s no testing!? I live alone with my kitty. But it’s scary as hell dealing with this by myself. I’ve had a low grade fever for 6 days and some other issues which don’t match coronavirus—but still unsettling. It’s like it’s been one long panic attack since. I’ve been doing chores and watching some DVDs and of course, listening to Madonna on shuffle. I happened to hear Lovesong the other day and it really took me back. Lovely relief for a few moments. I wish everyone good luck, patience and let’s all send out positive, healing vibes to the world. Heaven knows, we could all use some! Positive Energy Everyone!

Guest eroticerotic Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 working from home. feels good though. the energy around seems really calm despite the online panic. I still go out to the gym, get packages and buy stuff; the only different thing I do in my lifestyle is just fumigate packages with lysol. and maybe get alot more people to think rationally. lol stay clean and healthy!

Nick Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Right now I’m between jobs, and actively seeking employment. In some ways, I’m glad not to be working because I work in health care. The risk of exposure is higher.. I mostly stay at home except for the gym and purchasing necessities. I’m bored AF I tbh even though I keep busy reading books and watching films. I also found out today that my good friend tested positive for coronavirus. I feel bad and worried about him making it thru the illness.

Guest jamesshot Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Off from work until at least April 10. Most of Houston (and Harris County) is shut down. This is unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humberto77rj Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Me too. Here in Rio de Janeiro I am with my mom, 77 y/o and my brother. I work in theater and TV and everything has been canceled for 2 weeks starting yesterday. I have agoraphobia and anxiety disorder and must confess...I'm trying not to cry ALL THE TIME. Really hard for me. Got out just for the essentials as well. I'm panicking all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andra Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Why are people STILL going to the gym? Are you going to combust if you take a couple of NECESSARY weeks off? Been holed up at home for like 2 weeks and a half ,both my bf and I work from home and once a week we go out to buy food. I'm really mentally exhausted.

If the virus continues to spread, don't think I'll be having sex for a long time........ Do have a feeling that many guys will continue to hook up regularly for anonymous sex and one night stands.

FreeMySoul Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 I’m starting to feel the anxiety and restlessness creeping in alone in my house my school district isn’t helping they’ve thrown more work at us and expect us to conduct parent meetings from home, and meetings with special services. What do I say to the parents? Your child isn’t doing well with remote learning, you suck as a teacher? They also want lesson plans now. they expect all this shit not one person is asking if we are doing ok? They must think we are enjoying time off which is so not the case. Providing no support or even showing any concern for their teachers. ugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VogueMusic Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The shelter-at-home/social-distancing thing isn't the hard part for me...it's the anxiety that just doesn't go away. The fear of not just what's going on, but how it's being handled (and NOT handled, frankly), what's true vs what's not true, what's to come, etc... Just trying to keep calm and sensible, while staying properly informed, is far harder than it seems. I'm forcing myself to take several days break from media consumption because it's just too much. Even making a grocery/supplies run feels scary. It shouldn't, but it does. Going only 1 day a week (if that), first thing in the morning. Worked pretty well the other day.
