Definitely making a valiant effort in this department D: for what it's worth, I'm kind of working from home indefinitely, so that's helpful (for minimizing my risk, but staying mentally stable is a different story).
I'm not even remotely surprised about the job stuff. It's awful, but yeah, hiring freezes are everywhere. My company has a hiring freeze and in the past week or two let go of all temp workers with some bullshit excuse. Because firing minimum wage people so the people with ten times their salary can stay afloat :\
there are two possibilities, both of which are probably true to some extent: Either the current federal administration is especially shit and poorly equipped to set meaningful policy during this crisis, or the crisis itself is much more serious than most people know.
Yeeaaaah that's how I'm feeling too :( it sucks the experience now is different than in the past. And completely resonate with your last bit about staying home. It's so true and so few seem to realize it 💕
