How's everybody doing?, Is the clock finally dead? :p Options

How's everybody holding up in the face a of all the quarantines and social distancing?

Doing well, thank you for asking. How about you? I don’t go out unless it’s for groceries. Our household is honestly getting low on toilet paper, I’m not looking to hoard! Haven’t found it anywhere this entire week. I’m leaving the house at 6:30 or 7 a.m. tomorrow to go get in line at the grocery (it opens at 8) to try and score some.

Began working at home this week. Total weirdness with that, and quite sad. I’m a teacher, and even though my students can give me hell, I really miss them. I am highly doubtful we will go back to school at all this year. Let’s see how this online learning thing goes.

I find myself getting a little lonesome here and there, as this thing all came on so fast. My co-workers, friends, family, and I text each other constantly, and that helps immensely. I guess you can say, my phone is literally “blowing up” because of it. -It acts up, and I have to restart it.

There’s a lot of goodness and kindness to read about online. Oh, and the memes are great! Also, a lot of artists are doing some cool things to help us fill the time and pull through quarantine. Joan Jett just went into the archives and uploaded an exclusive 1983 show to YouTube. I hope Līve does the same. It would really be a rainbow in the dark right now.

Doing alright so far, to be fair. Supplies are good, and my friends and family are all healthy (as far as I know.)

Like Voodoo Lady I'm working from home and dealing with online learning stuffs. It's an interesting time with lots of academics being dropped right in at the deep end. Make all of your teaching online RIGHT NOW. Panic ensues, obviously.

It's all still novel at the moment, but I imagine soon working from home will lead to a serious case of cabin fever.

Stay safe and be sensible, folks!

I'm finishing up my PhD, so I was basically working from home all the time anyway. Now I just go out less.

My partner has been working from home for a week now, too. We're celebrating every day that he doesn't get furloughed, because we'll have to apply for unemployment basically immediately. My graduate stipend is not remotely enough to pay all of our bills.

We have most of the essentials (including TP, lol) that we'll need for about 5 months, give or take. It's hard to stockpile much in an apartment, though.

I don't have to teach this term, but I did get to watch everybody who does rush into online-only classes. I think a lot of people felt like they got thrown in the deep water.

That's a cover Live could do! Lol.

Merica and san sao, I’m so glad to know you’re both doing alright.

It would be awesome, I agree! Finally would be a cover of my taste.

I started working from home this week and although it's a bit unusual I'm finding that I'm about 70% as productive as I would be in the office. The fact that I'm on a computer for most of the day helps but it's the lack of contact with my workmates that is most difficult. We're using online tool in order to communicate and work on projects so that helps a lot.

Here in Australia we are a lot further behind China, Europe and the USA (in terms of the progress of COVID-19) so we are learning the lessons of these countries. Where I live people seem to be acting cautiously (although there are some who disregard the advice provided by the authorities). No lock down here yet, but slowly our movements are being restricted.

I hope everybody in the Fans of Live community gets through this unscathed.

This sounds familiar. I was already working from home a lot, but this has really slammed my productivity.

I'm not ready to give up on them yet. I do hope they engage their fans while the fans and the band are all still alive and can breathe, though. This could be a very different picture in a month.

My mother has covid and only has a little time left. This is a scary and vicious illness(especially to the older population). We all have to stay home as much as we can, until this gets under control.

I’m so very sorry. I wish your mother, you, and your family comfort and peace in this trying time.

I wish you and your family the best. This virus is no joke. We are definately doing our part with social distancing. Hopefully everyone else here is doing the same.

I can't say it any better than this. My hope is that this is as gentle and comfortable for your mother, you, and your family as possible.

I'm so sorry to hear you're going such a difficult situation. I hope you get all the support that you need.
