8 but it will probably drop. My job is paying us until the end of March but I’m sure, once April Fools hits, I—and millions of others—won’t find it funny when our employers switch from “we’re paying you” to “we’re laying you off, have fun joining the hundreds of thousands suddenly trying to claim unemployment “. My wife is a phleb at a small lab so still has a job (for now) and I have enough in the bank for us to live for a while and I’m still nervous. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to have a large family with no money coming in. Grocery stores still don’t have tp but the local Whole Foods had plenty of meat again today. Roads are clear, gas is cheap, and we’re putting this time to good use by cleaning out the house of unneeded shit. Trying to go for a walk every day and not get fatter. [Reply]
GF and I are both essentially retired and really haven't gone out and done stuff for two years or so, so no real hardship in that regard. We're (very happily) homebodies. The scary thing is, I pop into the store every once in a while, she already has COPD, and I don't want to bring the damn bug home to her. I wipe down everything before bringing it in the door.
We dare not visit my 80+ year old parents right now, but all in all, our lives have not been disrupted nearly as much as most.
I voted #5. It could probably be a bit higher. [Reply]

So your life is pretty much the same it was and you only gave it a #5? :-)
What the hell would you give it if things got a little worse a #2? :-) [Reply]
Most of the hardship I have personally is unrelated to the virus. Seems like it has been a tough spring. I’m like 5000 acres behind on spraying and the weather won’t cooperate. Had some help hired this winter one lasted a month the other didn’t get much done so now it’s time to roll and shit isn’t done. Not to mention the fact that every problem that can pop up from shit sitting all winter is popping up.
On the virus front, I need to be solely focused on running that sprayer until like the middle of April. So it seems like every little inconvenience is magnified when I haven’t had time to fuck with it. Wife has to teach from home. They have a virtual meeting tomorrow to see how that will go. And the hysteria has hit my little bitty - should be reasonable town. Despite the closest case being 150 or so miles away.
All told I should be an 8 or 9. But with the spring I seem to be having blah. I chose 5. [Reply]

2020 hasn't been that great so far at all. Dispite this bug. [Reply]
