That sucks.
These are strange times indeed. The streets today were even emptier than on Sunday. I really hope this does not drag on for more than a month. Most seem to be in some kind of intermediate state between home office and vacation.
It feels unreal.

Hey, @bluerobo.
Yes, it does. Until I was told this morning that I was definitely laid off for the time being, it was far worse. I didn't know if I needed to go to work, where I would go, for how long. It's kind of hard to plan around that kind of thing, and getting started on any kind of project just to get interrupted doesn't motivate me a whole lot.
It would be great if things were over within the next week or so. The surgeon general is warning this will be the worst week for coronavirus thus far, and if that's true, I'm also hoping that means it's the worst period, and we can get back to our lives. However, there's predictions out there that it will take nine months or more to run its course, but I'm not sure if that means we're in a state of lockdown for that period of time. That would be completely insane.
It seems to me, though, that it's a deal where some of it will be prolonged regardless by the decisions that are being made on both ends of the spectrum—those who might actually be ignoring it completely, and those who want to shut down the entire world. Would be nice to have some kind of happy medium, but we can't ever seem to get there. :)
