How big of a hit did the quarantine hit you? - Net - Mar 30, 2020
For me personally, I am good so far. Getting worried about my father tho, since he is a workaholic and isn't used to staying at home. Financial wise we are also at a solid place, all of my family members have some kind of savings, so we are good for some time.
What about you? Also what is your advice to go through this easier?

I'm good. Done with college the week before lockdown, should have started internship the following week. Now I'm chilling at home getting work done and making some money online

We are doing super good here, no complaints.
My father has his own workshop/garage so he is basically bored sitting at home, I used to do the accounting, So I am also free either gaming or watching Netflix.
My Wife is a teacher so work from home is going hard for her, teaching the students online using Zoom and making ppt's all day on her laptop. She is the only one busy :D
Our financial game is also quite strong.
Hoping all this end's fast and everyone can get back to their respective schedules.
Stay Home, Stay Safe!
Cheers!

It's nice to see you guys in good condition both physically and in financial condition :)
So far as for me, I am on a community lock down wherein I have with me my wife and my 2 kiddos...a 5 year old girl and 1 yr old boy.
As of this moment in time we still got some food left maybe for 3 days but I need to go out maybe in the next days because we need to buy milk for both of my children and food stocks.
Financially we've got problem and food stocks wouldn't last for a week because of tight budget. Government haven't send us help yet.

Yep, same with me. Only that I start online classes today. Wonder how that will turn out.

Yea, same. Like I said my dad is a workaholic, I just want for things to go back to normal for his sake.

Looking out my window right now. It's a ghost town.

I just sneezed at work and now in quarantine. My boss "proved" me having a low grade fever using a laser temperature checker on my hand which read 84°F. When I argued that's surface temperature, not body temperature, he then checked his hand which read 95°F and he's wearing gloves that have steamed up so they've reached close to his body temperature. This is where this paranoia has gotten me, quarantined over allergies

Yep same here. I want to go out to be honest and record it, but if the police catch me I have to pay a 400€ fine.

Isolation sucks, but I already worked a lot from home, so I'm doing alright.

I think the thing that sucks the most is not being able to see my friends IRL.

I didn't have that much social life to begin with, it is just the freedom that I am missing.

Well, my hours have been reduced a lot and I’m working from home now.
It is becoming a little boring being indoors every day if you ask me.
My birthday is also coming up which sucks. I’ve also had to postpone my wedding which was due in August.
Fortunately I have some other side jobs I can do from my home to keep my income flowing. I feel sorry for those that don’t.

There has been about 15 cases in my area, but I do not think we have got the blast of it yet.

Aww shit, postponing the wedding must've sucked deep. Do you know to which date you postponed it or are you still debating?
