[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not going to be better in 9 months. Sorry to say but 2020 is a lost year and 2021 will be too. [/quote]

Oh, stop it[/quote]

Sorry but it’s true. Even if we get a vaccine (which, I do think the news has been positive on that front) a lot of people won’t get it. It will also take a long, long time to reach everyone. You know how things are in this area with the random shortages and long lines for everything. Point is, the stuff that makes life worth living like schools, museums, travel, concerts, sports, seeing your elderly family, etc. won’t be happening. Even with a vaccine, schools will likely still be closed for a good long while.

I am a SAHM of 2 little kids. Prior to becoming a SAHM I had the type of job that would have easily been laid off in conditions where no one is traveling and there is an economic downturn. If I didn’t have my kids I would have probably killed my self by now. They are the only things keeping me going. [/quote]

2 things:

1) OP, I feel the same as you. My kids are 2 and 5. And I even have a nanny/ job so I get more alone time than you (but not too much with everyone in the house and the kids wanting my attention)

2) I’m a public health professional and following this incredibly closely and I think in 6-9 months there’s a real chance things could be much better thanks to vaccines AND treatments. PP, people are on the verge of breakdowns. I don’t think the fatalistic approach is helpful and even in the absence of vaccines/ treatments I’m not ready to throw away 2021 (OR all of 2020 for the matter).[/quote]
