It is difficult. I have not adequately adjusted and transformed my life around it. I am not getting out as much as I like...because of some low-level anxiety that is not even that realistic. I have no intention of going around crowds. I just need to get out in the sunshine. I think, like singularity01, I had my own problems before all this began and so this is just another layer...of anxiety.

However I don't think I will just pretend nothing is going on and try to go back to the "old normal" because that no longer exists.


And I do not want to get this virus. It is not like the normal flu...it is a deeply deadly thing not even yet fully understood.


I agree that social media is not a substitute for real-life interactions...but if you get this virus and end up in the hospital on a ventilator...see what kind of social life you have.
