Honestly? Fuck this. Millions of people are going to die. It's very likely some of your friends and family will be in that number. It's okay to mourn. It's expected that we will all mourn. The world we get out of this is going to be different and it's going to be a worse one for almost everyone. You don't need to write King Lear or invent gravity. Just surviving will be a miracle enough.

#33> Let's not forget the time when Isaac Newton changed the world during a quarantine from the plague, he did not wait idle for the plague to end, he continued working in isolation in this serene place where the mind was set free and lead to many discoveries. Annus mirabilis, the year of wonders, that is the name of this period in which calculus, law of gravitation, the color spectrum, these discoveries changed the world forever.

Give me a break.

#34I know I'm lucky to still have a job at a company that seems to be doing just fine despite the pandemic but I kind of wish I could have a month of time completely to myself

I get the tone you're trying to convey, but a 98% event isn't a miracle.

“People die, make the best of it” was what I took from it.
"Let's all become Isaac Newton this month."
Those comments come across pretty tone deaf to me. I imagine the person who wrote it doesn't have any young children and enjoys a relatively high degree of privilege.
