This is fascinating! Very, very different experience from my own. But what we share is a profound alteration in the way we are living our day-to-lives and the fact that we each have elaborate ways of keeping everything as close to normal as possible.

I'd like to imagine November as a reasonable time for this to begin to feel like it is on it's way out. These stupid plans some people are making for imagining an ordinary life by this summer seem totally ridiculous to me. I'd love to believe that but it seems like fantasy to me. It hasn't even hit most of the U.S. yet! Which could greatly affect this entire continent.
