I've been in a self imposed isolation and work from home along with my gf, but I work for a major insurance company so I've been lucky that we can do that. I doubt my state goes along with a state mandated quarantine cause it's Texas and we think we're special.
I have two friends who have been laid off from their jobs because of all this, one a waiter and the other a paralegal. The waiter had to take the risk of travelling from Georgia back to Rhode Island to stay with his family.
My girlfriend was supposed to start a new bakery job in Connecticut next week and that has been indefinitely postponed. She's now looking at all the places hiring cashiers/stockers in the rush but I think she should just stay home since she's with her parents anyways and ride it out.
I'm anxious enough about going down to Dallas and then going on the road, but at least one of us needs to be making money and trucking is one of the only industries safe from a shutdown right now.
My mom is FREAKED. Doesnt want my girlfriend to visit because of infection risk. My girlfriend is emotional and depressed and cant cope. Shes crying in my driveway right now as my parents decide what to do. I dont know how to comfort my girlfriend or make her feel better
My band doesnt want to get together anymore either for a while until it blows over
I cant do a goodamn thing. I'm not gonna lose my job but no work = no money for me. I'm a subcontractor so technically I dont have a boss that can fire me but he's not giving anyone work for now. I haven't worked since last Wednesday.
Wow. Some of us might be fortunate we can hunker down and keep working and ride it out. I'm an insurance broker and can work from home to some degree if needed. Do people want/ need/ can afford to continue with insurance at this time.... who knows??? Thankfully I have no mortgage and some cash but it could all go tits up quite quickly
Yup. That’s where I am. Very worried about the long term health of the economy
Lock down as in....stay home completely ? Are you allowed out for anything? Can you work from home MC?
I’m in ny which apparently has a complete lockdown and you aren’t supposed to leave your house except for essential item reasons. Of course it’s also “not enforced” which I take it to mean that it’s all bullshit and I can do whatever. Almost all businesses are shut down though besides carry out restaurants, gas stations, and super markets.
By billshit I mean if it’s not enforced it ain’t real. It’s like saying shoplifting is illegal but we won’t do anything if you get caught.

We're supposed to not leave home unless to shop for necessities.
