I'm not self-isolating or locking down, per say, but I am working a lot more from my own office. As a result I've been able to apply a lot of works to my cyberpunk hacking simulator game. I'm hoping to have an alpha out there in a month or two.

#13I am not in lockdown. But a lot of public services and schools are closed. Also, no friends get together and parties, and significantly reduced hangout. I am making use of my local university library to study and research Text Mining.
