[quote=Anonymous]In my family's world, it was one set day.  And it was March 13, 2020.  School ceased, work moved home indefinitely, and we hunkered down as told, on that day.

Ways we were lucky: we COULD work from home, didn't lose income, none of us got sick.  Not so lucky: we live in 1000 sq ft condo and all four of us home all the time was rough - parents working and teens with nothing to do.  My work exploded too - have my own business helping other businesses & non profits and navigating the budget adjustments and PPP loans meant I was working 16 hour days to barely keep up.  Online school for a year took my former happy, well-adjusted, school loving kids to a state of pure misery and we are still recovering from that.

It's getting tiresome that people think there was one covid experience and it was similar to their own, and that anyone who didn't sail through it is just weak.  Good for you if you moved to a place where school resumed and life returned to normal and your kids didn't suffer.  Good for you if you saved so much money, had so much free time so got into interesting hobbies, learned languages.  It wasn't good at all for a huge number of people.  Your experience is not universal.[/quote]
