This quarantine sucks balls. At least I have time to play old video games now.

[Meddle]

I'm working through my backlog of games. At least I have time to do it now.

34K games backlog ... join the club ... and it keeps getting bigger and bigger every year ...

[Supernova]

I'm working at home and it's torturing me mentally and physically. Doesn't help that I no longer have time to play video games anymore since early this year to begin with.

Try and do some exercises, take a walk while keeping social distance to keep your spirits up. Also, I find vitamin D is helpful for my mood when not getting out, as usually your body gets that from sun.

Doing fine here! Mom & dad are also home (and dad can now work from home, which he is enjoying quite alot!). My internship was already a home office deal and my classes are cancelled for the foreseeable future (no virtual classes, my campus decided to not do it).

Brazil itself is going down the gutter tho, seems our governament wants to be the runner up to win the game at most infected and dead by corona numbers. US is still number one, but from what i understand Brazil has the highest rasing numbers of infected/deaths by the virus rates in the world.

My father has passed away a couple of weeks ago (not due to COVID at very least) and I'm stuck doing crunch from home for two months non-stop, so things are not very good at all for me.

Sorry to hear that, Supernova. My dad also died in March but was not from covid either...He was almost 87 and had deteriorating health and dementia, so saved him from more suffering. Just have to remember the good times, and know that he'd want you to enjoy the rest of your life. Sending you strength.

@BR4ZIL They say that within the next year or two, 60-70% of all population will have the virus... so I think continuing life as normal as possible yet being careful not to spread it is the best we can do...until a vaccine is made.

I've been in quarantine for at least 2 months now. It's not the best situation especially that I'm unemployed at the moment and I've still haven't received any unemployment benefits from the NYS department of labor (the entire system is a mess). Besides that, I'm thankful that my family are doing well and are also taking precautions in looking over themselves especially when they suffer from pre-existing conditions. My grandmother, who was stationed at a housing facility in Long Island was not so fortunate as she passed away from COVID-19, but as scaryfun has said, she too was suffering from dimentia and deteriorating health and was going to go soon at some point.

I'm sure its been a very difficult time for everyone during this pandemic but I know that we will all pull through this. Please protect yourselves!

My sympathies to you, Squidy28.
