Yeah I work for a flooring distributor. My company labeled us essential so I too work through the whole thing. So did my wife as a dog bather. Guess Petsmart figured they were essential too.
Suddenly had a shitload of free time and still getting paid, so I went to the beach for a swim and went on bike rides or walks all the time. I think most people did.
My job at the time just requested that we work from home whenever possible, so I didn’t gain much extra free time (aside from transit time saved, which I won’t complain about 🙂)
All I heard was people bitching about it and going outside with any excuse they had.
I just worked through the entire thing. Woooo! /s
I’m essential! [Chuckles] I’m in danger!

Yeah, we got labeled essential by general Mills even though we hadn’t sold them any equipment in 4 years.
Yeah anything to keep us from getting that sweet time off.
Essentially fucked. Amirite?
Me too. That’s why I am still salty about it. Just stay home and it can be fixed sooner.
I hear people bitching about not being allowed to go outside, even though where I live you were always to go outside

Here people thought they can’t go out to parks or nature even though that was never forbidden. I think American cultural wars played into that

The trick with being a shut-in is that its only really practical when other people still have to go out and do things on your behalf.
As soon as you can’t get DoorDash or you A/C fails or the office fires you for clinging to “Work From Home” too long, shit gets real really quickly.
I went out more during covid than I did before it
Why?

Ah, that sounds really nice.
