It's ok and reasonable and human to be upset. That there are people who have it worse does not invalidate your personal damage from this, you know? You're allowed to grieve your losses. (The problem comes in when people equate "I can't go on my vacation" with "I am literally starving and homeless," which you are not in any danger of doing here.) I am so sorry that this thing you worked so hard on, and planned for, and had so much blood, sweat, and tears invested in, has slid away in the greater cataclysm that is our society right now. it sucks. It's shitty and it's not anything you did, it's just a garbage roll of the dice - and that's so much worse, because you have no control. *electronic distant non-infectious hugs*
