I can't sleep. I can't take this. I can't live with this idea that this will never be over. If this existence is "the new normal," my life will never be anything but misery.

I've enthusiastically supported social distancing for a while, but if the experts keep talking about locking us in for years, I'm pretty sure most of us can't handle it. The cost is not too high now but there is a point where it will be.

I'm so scared for my future. If we lose years of our lives to this, it's like losing whole lives in parts. I can't take this. I can't keep up this brave farce. I understand we can't end these restrictions now but if experts give us no hope they will end, we are fucked

I'm possibly just reading too many alarmist editorials, but at some point the costs of isolation that can't be mitigated even by direct cash payments (that won't happen) have to be taken into account.

The ideal scenario to crush this disease, according to at least some experts, WILL consume the remaining worthwhile part of my life. It will consume entire childhoods. It will consume the last years of elderly people's lives too.
