[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i suspect it was multiple posters...if not, that person was certainly sharing a sentiment a lot of people have.
OP, i get where you are coming from. I'm happy for you. But, I'm really worried about: 
* people who are very sick, 
* people whose livelihoods are immediately affected (to say nothing for the larger economic toll) 
* the doctors and nurses and other medical pros (including my husband who will be working on the frontlines of this...he was saying today that since they just announced school closures and there are a lot of 2 parent working families how crazy everything in the hospital will be) who will be working like crazy and at risk to themselves, and their families and there are others like delivery drivers and utility workers, and people working in stores etc. who will be doing the same thing with different details.
* how to manage my kids during this time (i work too although can do some remotely)
* a lot of other things.

And, unlike a snow day which has some elements of this but which can be 'fun' once a season for many people, we have no idea how long this will go on

So, while I'm happy that you are excited and "actually really looking forward to this," I suggest you actually really carefully share your thoughts in real life, because you are likely to come across as pretty tone deaf.[/quote]

I’m not OP but - geez, sanctimonious much? This is an ANONYMOUS FORUM where you can share shower thoughts that you would never say out loud IN REAL LIFE. No need to be holier-than-thou.[/quote]
