I feel for the many folks who have lost their jobs and have mortgage and car payments due. I consider myself lucky. So far I don't have any virus and really haven't been hurt by the pandemic. My family has not been hit by the virus yet. However, two of my kids are near the hot spot of Oakland County near Detroit. They still have their jobs and are working from home.
I really haven't been out and about as my wife does all the shopping, but she says everyone is staying 6 feet apart. The floor at the grocery store is marked off in 6 foot marks at the check out. We haven't really had any shortages and toilet paper is pretty easy to find. In fact, we have so much toilet paper and paper towels that it is piled halfway to the ceiling on the bed in the spare bedroom.
My investments did lose over $100,000 in value but I don't really notice that as my day to day income hasn't changed so really no hardship there. My house and cars are paid off and no debts. Damn, only thing I can think of is the wife says "no sex" until this is over, but at my age it isn't really a concern.
