How does this Pandemic make you feel?

This "isolation" may well last for many weeks, and if the experiences in Europe are any indicator, there will probably be even stricter measures taken, especially in some of the larger cities.

I expect this situation to last well into June....maybe even longer. If a person ever thought about starting a new hobby, this would be a good time to do so.
 
Never thought I'd experience the whole world staying home 90% of the time like I've been doing for the last six years....its as if I'm living in a movie of the apocalypse, reading, hearing and seeing it everywhere.....my heart is saddened for everyone not being active and living out their lives as they were.....all the mental stress is not good.....don't see this going away anytime soon, jmo......
 
I sort of feel trapped. Being a bit of a life long rebel, don't like others making decisions for me regarding what I can/can not do. However, I understand that it's best for everyone & yes, "we're all in this together". Being a book worm, I miss my library & I'm starting to run out of books. All the libraries in the nearby city have been closed. Went to my favourite music store for guitar strings but they wouldn't let me in. Some Sales guy brought the strings outside for me. Couldn't go inside to look at all those lovely Gibsons & Martins. Geeeeeee!
 
I try to take each day as it is. I am fortunate to have everything I need (except hugs from my daughter). I feel that we (I mean everyone generally) are not doing enough. We should be covering our face if we have to go outside in public with any kind of covering, a mask or if that is not available, a scarf, towel, etc. The virus is spread by droplets from a person that is infected. Of course we need to avoid surfaces too.

I am sure we are going to hear more about this.

I am a book worm as well @Packerjohn Have you thought about investing in a Kindle Fire? I purchase and download books on my Kindle. They also have some where you can borrow and return.
 
I'm thinking more in terms of global attitudes. People are concerned about running out of food which is imported. Will we decide to produce more of our own food? Will we cut down on the amount of goods made in China?
 
I experience many emotions when I think about what is happening:
A great sadness for the pain this virus is inflicting upon humanity.
Anxiety about the unknown future.
Grateful for the personal and financial security that my wife and I have
Grateful that none of my extended family members have been affected.
Trapped, with Cabin fever, big time cabin fever.
This all feels like a bad hallucination that should any moment now. But it won't!
