[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll admit it - I was a jerk for thinking this was going to be some bonding stay-cation.  And I was absolutely tone deaf about the suffering it has caused so many people I know who lost family from this virus.

I apologize for being stupid and glib.  [/quote]

A member of people have had positive experiences with quarantine.  It’s ok to talk about it.  [/quote]

+1. The economic and public health toll has been horrific and I wouldn't wish this on any society.

I'm hoping it has shed light on a major issues that need to change - climate, the environment, our lack of public health infrastructure, how our outcomes are all connected, and appreciation for the workers that make our country function and get paid S**T wages.

I'm also stressed about possibly getting laid off.

However, in terms of day-to-day, the introvert in me has enjoyed the additional WFH days, more time with the kids, more sleep for my husband and the kids, a more relaxed schedule. More time in the yard, less running around overall. [/quote]

Same.  
Loving not driving.  
I enjoy not forcing my kids to go to school.  
I like seeing my kids more.  
And falling into a better schedule for all of us.

Hate:
Making my kids do school from home.

This pandemic has thrown into stark relief:
How much our social safety net has eroded
How percarious many of our financial situations are.
How much racism is baked into our society (disproportionate death rates).

I also hope that our slowing down helps us to see how drastically we need to change.
Change the damage we are doing to our environment.
Grow our safety net.
Improve our health care system.
Vote different leadership into our White House because this leadership has been tragically lacking.[/quote]

The impact on working women has also been disproportionately and devastatingly high for many.[/quote]
