Seeing my wife and kids every single day, all day is too much human connection for me

Yeah, same with me. But I meant more specifically to other beings. I mean we really feel it every Sunday when we would have ordinarily gone to church. But yeah, my job contains and leans on the human connections and interactions, so Iām feeling it.

That is my biggest issue, I am used to getting a break from my parents during weekends, I am slowly going insane even tho I have my own space and for the most part can do what I want, the moment I try to relax one of them will have a fracking issue and I cant deal right now. I need to hide.

Just found out today that someone I know has the virus, he has been admitted to hospital.
Itās really worrying as his immune is compromised due to a recent massive illness battle.
I will post here if I here anything, purely informative reasons.
People think that the Corona Virus is just a joke and they donāt take the staying indoors! We are now living proof that even if you are careful you can still pick it upā¦ D and I have been in CT for him to do a specialized radiation he stayed indoors except to go see the dr and do radiation, I went to the pharmacy and to the shop once or twice, we wore masks most of the times was super clean, changed our clothes when we got home, showered, wiped down counters, shoes, keys, groceries etc ā¦ before we left in El he had a pain in his left lung but scans showed nothing serious, when we got to CT the left lung gave him a lot of pain, we had a CT scan here showed lesions and water but still pain killers were given which I think masked what was really going on. A few days ago he started coughing, battled to breathe, I kept telling the dr there is something wrong, but he just increased pain meds, Friday he was bad and I called the Dr and they said we must take him to hospital. I had to say goodbye to him at the hospital door and praying I will get to see him again, Friday the Drs called; suspected pneumonia he also said his oxygen levels are very low and that he needs to test him for corona as pneumonia is a sign. Saturday the Dr called to say he has been tested positive for Corona and it wasnāt pneumonia but clots on the lung my heart sunk, so friends and family I am living the true life of a nightmare thatās come a reality! You have to drop your partner off at the door and say goodbye, I cannot be there through all of this my heart is shattered
Above is the FB post announcing their situation.

nope, glad I am an introvert, the less people the better, so far the lockdown has been good, been sleeping in every day till about 12 midday, playing games for as long as possible and then going to sleep when i feel like it, or I hear the birds start chirping. 
I am supposed to be on āstandbyā but literally have had no clients contact me nor have there been any tickets assigned to me. So I am basically on vacation.

Same here, Iām watching these āgoing crazy at homeā and Iām likeā¦wot?
Perhaps it helps that work from home, but its very quiet. Excellent for studying and sneaking in the odd game here and there.

Thats very bad, also knowing how a weakened body reacts to the virus makes it worse. I wish him the best.

I also saw this. And this was one of the only capable hospitals in KZN that had the facilities to manage COVID-19 patients. I remember them making a fuss about that early on. Might be wrong.

At least I try to maintain a good distance from other people in public, but itās not a common theme.
I actually have this thing where I exhale when someone walks by me.
Very interesting read about why Sweden with very minimal social distancing is banking (pun intened) on the younger generation and their ability to build up anti-bodies to fight SARS-CoV-2 in the long run. Make me wonder if we are doing the right thing to save lives now, but how many will it cost later on, but this time with a still broken economy?
All of this, of course, assumes a bleak impersonal view to actual human lives, loved ones and other decent human-like traits.
