I'm glad DU is here as the CV-19 pandemic unfolds

[captain queeg]

I’m trying to stay at home and isolate as much as I can. So far I’m still venturing out on brief excursions every couple days, avoiding crowds. But I’m glad DU is here to wile away some hours and not feeling totally isolated. I’m retired so I’m not forced to interact with many people. I went out to lunch with a like minded friend a couple days ago. That’ll probably be the last time I do that till things settle down and get clearer. Last week I was seeing the writing in the wall and witnessing how many people are whistling in the dark and telling themselves it’s all a hoax. Since those represent a large segment of the population I figure it’s best to isolate. Fortunately, at this point in time, I have always been sort of a loner. Some family members have criticized me for being that way but it’s looking like a very good attribute right now

But here at DU I feel a kinship and get a stream of information I don’t get elsewhere. Hang in there everyone. We’ll make it thru this.

1. DU is a like diary & we're recording the history.

I realize I've become very dependent on my laptop. People like you are great company in this chaos. You hang in there too, captain!

2. I feel the exact same way, I am learning I'm more comfortable

as an introvert, something I have fought against my entire life. If I didn't have the community here, I don't know what I would do.

3. Agreed. I check in here a few times a day. Good place to zero in on some good info as well as just

to feel connected to somewhat like minds.
