The whole thing is ridiculous and it is not just your country, but many of us have been dealt a rough deal. My household has had covid with 2 members of the family and it was rough. In South Africa we have the Thai strain which attacks the nervous system and the brain and it is not fun and is genuinely dangerous. My wife need an operation on her eye now as these are the side effects that do more damage.
I haven't taken a salary since February and wont until everything is back on track. they have unemployment here but that is $20 per month. I won't be queueing for that and we will make it through ok. My customers who are open are still ordering from me but the numbers are way down and I even wonder why they are open and how are they coping. I have some new clients which i have been courting over the phone for the last 6 month and they are decent but looks like everything is on hold until February now. One company will only consider after Easter letting their staff return to their offices. The social distancing is too expensive on head offices with over 500 employees so I cannot blame them for this type of thinking.
Lets hope and cross fingers and toes that the New Year things change, but I cannot see it if I am honest with myself.

I'm so sorry to hear about your wife. I hope the surgery happens soon and that all goes well with it. We found out a few days ago that the mother of my younger son's wife has COVID-19. And for a while, we thought we could have it because the other daughter-in-law was in a meeting with someone who tested positive. Her test came back negative, and she, along with the rest of us that came in contact with her have any symptoms. So, it's definitely making the rounds.
