Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus

I just called the daycare to let them know I wasn't bringing in the boys and just to see what was going on there, the provider informed me that since all the NY schools are closed the daycares no longer have to limit the number of children they can accommodate and can hire additional staff without the need of background checks!!!!

WTF!?!?!?

Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in quarantine

I am here to echo that question not answer it. Seriously, I'm trying to work (not working from home) and basically have been texting friends, family and reading Twitter other sources for updates. I'm consumed. I am getting a little bit done, but really only as I have to.

My work is now talking about working from home being on the scale of 4 months, not 4 weeks.

TBH I don't know how we're all supposed to continue to have meetings and eat lunch and answer emails while our society completely transforms around us. If we enter a true economic crisis my job is probably more secure than my wife's but this just seems catastrophic to all levels of industry simultaneously.

Yea there is a lot of uncertainty right now. But the biggest priority is staying safe and fed. Work stuff will become less important because there will be less to do. If you need help reach out to friends and family. Most of the problems we face are temporary. They suck and will require us to do some extra digging

On a bigger scale, yes parts of normal society will stop functioning, but it is everyone’s best interest to get everything back to get her as soon as we can.

Crisis thoughts already completely impacted my day-to-day last week, this week will be even tougher. I already work from home when I'm not traveling, so I had to do things like yard work to try and distract myself. Because distracting myself with work just doesn't feel like an option right now.

Saturday wait
Sunday may just be too late
But Friday never hesitate

Sanitized up to the eyes
It’s not quite a surprise
To see your cough or temperature rise
Throw on your frown
Or cry at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Wash and turn your sneeze aside
It’s such a ‘gorgeous’ sight
To see you hack in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It’s Friday
I’m in quarantine!

This is the real struggle. I normally lean on work to distract me from things but it's the prime stressor right now in keeping me locked in on the crisis. I took a walk last night to clear my head and it worked for a bit, but it's only temporary.

I work for a health insurance company, so although my kids are home, I can't stop working. I get through it because I have a ton of things due and a tight deadline around my work. I have data requests coming in like crazy, and I am overwhelmed with work. I can begin to imagine what it's like for people actually doing the health care work and woof! It's crazy.
