Ive been working to much and I live in a small town. Until the last couple of days the corona virus has not affected me.
People are testing positive close to my town. People from my town work in the town that people are testing positive.
Oregon is closing everything but stores and banks. Even in my town.
Everyone here has been pretty much business as usual.
Today I did the research and this pandemic is terrifying. Everything about it. From the deaths, the loss of income for millions and its effect on the economy.
My paycheck took a direct hit from this. It could get worse. My paycheck is minor on the list of things that could get much worse.
Im officially worried now. Im going to try and avoid contact with people as much as possible.
Im healthy. I was heathy when I got pneumonia ten years ago. It was horrible. I thought i was going to die. It put me down for close to a month.
Even if the corona virus is less likely to kill me. I dont want to experience it. Sounds like a bad time to me.
Be safe everyone!
I have almost finished my first sober crab season. I plan on staying sober through my first sober pandemic.
My coworker is in casinos, blowing his paycheck touching slot machines in an environment where most of the population thinks its not going to affect them.
Hes probably doing drugs with people who arent going to be worried about the virus either.
My bosses girlfriend is getting out of jail from a twenty day sentence tomorrow. The jail is in the town that people are testing positive.
Iāve been thinking how grateful I am to be sober during all this. Itās been over a month and a half for me, and I sit back and imagine if I was to drink how I would probably get total anxiety due to all of this. Not only that, I would want to keep drinking and be dependent on having to have alcohol in the house at all timesā¦ just not a healthy way to live life, especially right now when we donāt even know whatās next for us!! But thank God my eyes are open, I once was blind, but now I see! Yes, this is difficult times but everyone of us are going through this together God Bless you
Yay! That must be a relief to have your dad home @VSue. You survived the liquor store and thatās a huge win. Keep up the good work during these trying times.
Yeah, I figured you would have to do some extreme rationing. Do you have the number of your dealerā¦ I mean, local girl scout, to keep you stocked up?
If that were my MIL, Iād do the same thing as you. Even if not COVID risk, last thing you want is a sick child. I think two weeks is reasonable and thereās always FaceTime!
Edit, sorry did you mean your kid is sick, or MIL? Either way, social distancing not a bad idea
Itās not a symptom I donāt think. But there is the fact that quarantine is quarantine. No matter. Plus neither of them may be showing actually Corona symptoms.
I am like that too, thanks for sharing.
Itās been said we stopped growing emotionally when we started drinking which is young for alot of us; I have to learn how to handle stuff like that and argumentative people.
Iām afraid. I did double grocery shopping so that I can avoid going out for as long as possible. I have a massive anxiety disorder though, so I could be overreactingā¦ but Iām okay with that. On the bright side, at least itās scaring me out of a relapseā¦
God Bless you
