Default Corona Virus Outbreak

I know this is the sad day for us but this covid 19 is getting out of control.

Stay safe to all of you!

The virus's impact on my life has been fairly minimal, at least so far. I won't bore you with the details, but since I don't work and the businesses I frequent are still open (although some are closing earlier than usual), neither my income nor my nightly trip out has been affected. Groceries may be a problem at some point but if I have to stay in I'm fine for a few weeks. There are currently 1,291 confirmed cases of the virus here in Connecticut (9 in my town), with 27 deaths statewide (none in my town). It's going to get worse before it gets better.

Bro was already working from home Fridays so he's just doing that full time now. I sell through Etsy however hardly anyone is buying right now so I'm broke. On top of still struggling with probate since last year I do have worries about money. I'm considering working maybe part time at a grocery store or something as many businesses like that are hiring.

Our state government in Australia has just raised the threat level to stage 3.

I've become more of a hermit though the years so my routine hasn't changed much. And I work in an essential field so I'm still working full time. So all is good there. What I'm mostly worried about now is the economy once this is over.

Grocery shopping has been super frustrating the last few weeks, but there's signs it's calming down there. My state is under a "Stay at home" order by the governor, which I understand is the second most extreme order that can be given. Groups of people who refuse to comply are being broken up by the police and cited where needed, but we aren't being pulled over for just driving. Neither are we cited if we take a walk around our neighborhood. I know some places where people can't even do that.

To note, the very first confirmed case outside China was in the Seattle metro where I am. So was the first death. Last I heard Washington State is just about to hit 4,900 confirmed cases and 200 deaths. Most of those were/are in the Seattle metro.
