My Days Thanks to COVID-19

So as we all know, COVID-19 is sweeping the globe right now. It's affected a lot of people, doesn't seem to show any sign of stopping, and it seems unknown as to when it'll be a normal time for humanity again. But what does this have to do with me? Well my life, just like everyone else's, has been affected by this pandemic. But all the information about everything is so mixed up. Areas that are on lockdown, how many people you can and can't be around, and tons of other information. It's enough to drive you crazy. Ya know what I mean? It's not hard to believe that the whole world is thrown out of whack by a disease that's likely been around for a long time now, but is just coming out now. I mean there have been other major diseases that have come out that weren't as bad as COVID-19 but still kinda serious enough to be bad should you contract it. But this is the worst it's been. And humanity's behavior to go with it hasn't gotten any better. Still a ton of hate crime, racial blame, etc. This isn't a time to be monsters to each other. This is a time we should come together...even though we're being told to self-quarantine and maintain social distancing too. But there are problems even in that.

It's not that people don't listen when told to do something that will ultimately be for the safety of themselves and others around them. It's just that there's only so much one can do when "trapped" in their own home. Sure there's Netflix, reading, working out, spending time with family, etc. But really, spending time in the same four walls with the same people is enough to make one wanna rip their hair out. Well, that's how I see it for myself really. I'm easily bored and entirely lazy. I can only watch so much Netflix and youtube before I lose my mind. And having no financial stability (since I've been unemployed since before this whole thing) totally sucks. Then there's potentially being stuck with my own family for days on end. Don't get me wrong, I love them. But there's only so much time I can spend with them. But it doesn't mean I don't worry about them since while they are healthy and not really in the age range to get this virus, I still worry they could catch it while they're out.

But I'm' honestly just rambling. Bored and rambling. COVID-19 has messed up any and all future plans I may have had. Places are either on lockdown or under some kind of quarantine, a lot of my friends are either jobless or working from home, and I worry a lot for friends that are susceptible to the virus as well. This is just a bad time all around. Well, I've said my peace and just home this can be resolved. No telling when that'll be but I do hope it happens. I'd hate for this to be what all of 2020 looks like. There's so much more to happen that could hopefully be for the better.
