(14,644 posts)5. Not stupid at all.
Yes, I am pissed. Thoroughly.
My husband works from home and has for several years. Not much adjustment there. I'm no longer working ... well, not for pay, anyway. There's plenty to do around here.
Except for being tired all the time (stress?), we're well so far. We have enough food and the stores are keeping up. He goes shopping once a week during the "senior hour" and wears gloves and mask.
I miss our daughter, who lives an hour away from us and is also staying home.
So we're doing fine except for the emotional stuff. The heartache that is happening around the world is gut-wrenching. The sacrifices people are having to make, the sickness, the poverty, the hungry kids ... it all makes me want to scream.

OP
As hardly anyone can get tested, hardly anyone knows if they are 'safe' right now or not.

We're fine so far, although the forced finishing of home improvement projects isn't fun.
