I made another thread about Covid-19 that's mostly for people to vent their general frustrations and feelings about the virus.
But now that most people are going into some kind of quarantine/isolation/distancing/lockdown, I decided to make one where we could all share what we're up to at home during these strange times.
So how 'bout it? What projects have y'all given yourselves? Can be anything, from writing the next great novel to sleeping 18 hours straight, and everything else.
Personally, I decided to download Minecraft again (haven't played it in a year or two, so it wasn't on this computer), and that's been a huge time suck. Which is usually a bad thing, but it's pretty great when you can't go outside.

Absolutely not gonna lie, my life hasn't changed much. As it turns out my lifestyle is very isolation friendly. The main difference is I can't go to the gym haha But I'm spending most of my time watching TV, playing video games, and drawing :3

so far, mostly just did chores and obsessively read news about this lol. i haven't taken time to myself yet, hopefully i'll allow myself to do some fun or creative things i normally feel i don't have time for, but we'll see. i've also been cooking more/doing more food prep than i normally have time for as well. oh and actually getting enough sleep for more than 2 days in a row for once.
i'm not in total isolation yet though, my job keeps changing its plans left and right so i've been in and out of my workplace for short periods, although without contact with other humans so far so kinda still isolated i guess
hopefully i'll start doing something for myself soon lol. i like cooking a lot but i also HAVE to do it so it's not the same as like, playing video games.

All things considered my basic life isn't affected because I lowkey isolate myself from society anyway, but the people panic-buying everything is starting to somewhat affect me.

I'm not isolating myself because people are panicking for no reason and it's really annoying. I don’t believe people are panicking for no reason. In the USA, overnight — 4,500 cases were reported under 24 hours. The death toll worldwide is at 10,000. ( stats: cnn.it/33xaFIS ) I understand that the panic buying and hoarding is excessive and disgusting, especially when people can’t get the necessities that they need. But a pandemic is something to not be taken lightly when it effects the entire world, including where you live.

My life literally hasn't changed a bit, aside from my mom's workplace being shut down, so shes home now.
Video games and reading fanfiction is how I spend most of my days so there we have it.

Nothing much has changed. I don't go out often, but when I do it's because of work and church.
When I'm at home I just read books, go on Duolingo, things like that.

Mostly the same, apart from a bit more hand washing after touching doors. I stay inside most of the time anyway, but I haven't changed my going outside habits yet, and probably won't. Moving out of University tomorrow after advice given though. When I get to parents I will definitely not change going out habits, as you can be out on the hills for a very long time before even spotting a person.

My life hasn't changed much, honestly. When I'm at home and not at college, I stay in the house a lot because I don't have friends in my hometown. So I'm pretty good about entertaining myself.
My classes will start up again in a week online, so I'll have homework to keep me busy. My boyfriend is gonna make a private server for the squad so we can all play minecraft together. It's not the same, of course, but it'll be at least some way we can all spend time together.
I'll probably read a bunch, maybe even get back to my 9 year old writing project lol

Finally decided to give in and buy myself a month of Disney+... I've had the free trial just under a week and I've already watched Frozen 2 twice, oops... (That is not counting the 2 times I saw it in the theatre). Also have another month of BroadwayHD so I'll be watching some of that. I have a couple books I'm hoping to read, and I'm planning on making some crafts to sell so I can have money for when I go to NYC, once this has improved to the point that Broadway has opened back up...

Well, seeing as I work at a grocery store, the only thing that has changed for me is /more work/ and more stress
I never left the house outside of work anyways
So absolutely nothing on that front has changed
I’d love to isolate myself because going to work is honestly scary, but I can’t.

I wish I could go into isolation ahh. I have a chronic illness and my body part that is affected by my illness can also be acutely damaged by the virus. I've been warned by my clinic that it could be fatal for me if I contract the virus and yet my supervisor is still forcing me to commute into work everyday. Scary times.

Well seeing that I am a bartender, life has changed drastically. All restaurants and bars have closed in my location and no one is hiring. Soooooo I have no income, and with all government offices closed to the public working by phone or online only, filing for unemployment has been an absolute beeeeattch because apparently the SS# I've had since freaking birth is invalid! 🤬🤬🤬
Isolation is depressing as f*** when your broke Amazon prime isn't as fast as it used to be 😭
But it's okay y'all, I'm just gonna bartend for myself and drink my issues away.. y.a.y. 😑

Still going to work 4 days a week. I work in a hardware store and we have actually become BUSIER because everyone is bored. Australia has been dealing with this terribly, but just got news that 'non essential' businesses have to close. Don't know how that effects me yet.
So basically my life hasn't change. Still going to work, then spending all my free time at home lol.

I'm not actually in isolation, because the government has decided my job is necessary, which, its food packaging and medical supplies, so fair enough.
That being said, I've been trying a lot more new recipes, playing Animal Crossing, making new rps, listening to audiobooks and reading, and I'm working on starting a new garden this year.
I also have a deer shoulder roasting rn and its glorious.

I’ve been catching up on sleep (well, at least when I don’t have insomnia), reading, and playing games on my phone. Basically the same things I tried to do back before Corona. I’ve still been going to work as well.

I’ve been learning to animate!! I’ve been wanting to do it since last summer/fall but school really sapped my energy and I’ve been too tired to. Now that my classes are all online and I have less homework and stress placed on me I’ve finally been able to do stuff I wanted to do for months. It’s pretty nice not gonna lie, but I know the extrovert inside of me is going to be really suffering soon.
