For me I have been working steadily in an at risk environment conditions due to so many lay off's and businesses losing money. I had a promotion lined up with a raise but that was cancelled/questionable and maybe on hold due to COVID smh....My Wife is working overtime at hospital offices it's been a drag on both of us, but it could be worse and I count my blessings. We have each other and we have enough supplies if things get real.

Please share your story..How has COVID screwed you over, and what can the community do to help? Any links to help/donations orgs is beneficial too.

My mom passed away last Saturday. We are unable to have a funeral for her. We’re just having a small family gathering, none of her friends can go, at the cemetery to bury today. Horrible.

Send my pregnant wife to her 93 year old grandmother's. She has given up her shifts at the hospital unit and is working remotely doing telehealth consults.

I've been doing extra ER and ICU shifts. We were short handed before this. Now we are activating RTs that no longer work at the bedside and bringing them up to speed.

The bigger concern is our lack of protective gear. We as caregivers can't get our regular patients infected and we can't infect ourselves. Unfortunately there aren't many people that can run ventilators. Hopefully we can get more masks soon. Reusing them is dangerous.

Please hunker down y'all

We can get through this together

My condolences on your loss. Losing your mom is hard enough and the fact you can't have a proper funeral is absolutely unthinkable.

my work is super slow (we sell and deliver food to restaurants), probably get my hours cut next week, and send some drivers home but its better than no work.

Also, my dad had spinal surgery on wednesday, staying at hospital for 3 ish days and going to an intensive rehab unit for 2 weeks right after and we are not allowed to visit during the time because they shut down visitations for patients. They gave me an exception as a translator to see him in the recovery room but thats about it. My mom who was with me is not allowed to see him until the rehab is basically over. It's understandable but it does suck.

so sorry for your loss Steve.

As far as how how its affected my life. Work has slowed to a crawl. I basically have a month vacation where I'm bored out of my mind. I've gone fishing everyday, washed my car 3 times in the past week, completely detailed my girlfriends car (clay bar, paint correction, interior clean, wax etc) Played modern warfare Warzone for about 15 hours in the past 4 days. Went to go buy a Skyline R32 because i need a project but the place was closed due to this crap so that's out of the picture. I built a computer which only took a couple hours. (Fail)
Went to buy reloading stuff so I could sit on the couch and make some ammo but Bass pro is completely out of everything so no shooting. Tried to fly up North to go skiing for a week but all the mountains are closed now. I am so bored!!! I Honestly dont know what to do with myself. Silver lining to the cloud is that my house and cars have never been so clean!

I am so sorry for your loss.

My mother works for a well known local hotel and the hotel is closed til May. She is applying for unemployment. I am an accountant for a logistic equipment manufacturer, been dealing with order cancellation for past 2 days. Most of them come from food delivery companies. My gf works in a dental office and it will also be closed til April due to the stay home order.
