This year has been rough. The antiviral pills are just getting approved, seem to be effective. There's a chance we'll get back to normal in the new year. Merry Christmas! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEaKX9YYHiQ

My guess is we will be able to come to a definitive answer by next year March if we go by the cyclic nature of this.

Virtual hugs all around! Hope everyone has a more favorable time ahead of them next year.

I'm an immigrant living in the UK by myself and it is not even in my homeland tradition to celebrate Christmas. So today will just be a regular Saturday for me!

Right back at you. Not an easy day to be alone. Don't do anything silly people. Call someone you care about if you can.

Thank you. I am alone but more happy than most others. Because I am free from internal and external vices. That is the true message behind Christmas. Let us celebrate each and every moment of our lives. May all always be very happy and healthy.

Thanks, you too. Solitary Christmas here too - being an INTJ, I wouldn't like it any other way. To me, this is a great opportunity to review the past year, plan/predict the next one and work on some cool side projects. All best wishes!

Thank you for this gesture. I lost almost everything. Job, 7-year relationship, my mental health.

Feeling that I'm not only alone but inadequate to have a life like anybody else.

I'm still alive, so there's that.
