Some of us are stay at home parents.
I was just explaining to someone that I have to be: a parent, a teacher, an engineer and a husband. I feel I am doing all of them equally badly sigh
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.
>Just surviving will be a miracle enough. I get the tone you're trying to convey, but a 98% event isn't a miracle.
Most of us will live through this. Yes, the world will be a bit different, but different is not always worse. There may be some good things to come out of this around the world.
Keep calm. Wash your hands. Wear masks if you got 'em. Help out your friends and neighbors where you can.

The current "best case" scenario of your government is 100k-240k dead; less than one order of magnitude is basically nothing in an exponential crisis. 240k to a million is just two doublings.
also: there are countries other than the United States.

At the time you wrote this comment, approximately 45k people have died as a result of the coronavirus worldwide. Glass is half empty for you then, right?

“People die, make the best of it” was what I took from it.
"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." "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.

I find myself working more hours lately because I no longer have a hard break from leaving the office.
Yeah I miss even the 10 minute drive home transition from work to home mode.
If you don't have a separate room, you could also plug your computer in somewhere, and go on a short walk every day.
