Where are you usually based? And any guidance based on location?

Bay Area. I’m in the acceptance phase, like stages of grief. I don’t have guidance other then stay home- wfh, no social outings, no dinner parties, just stay home. I’ve accepted that my life is cancelled until June at least and I’ll need to deal with wfh and entertain myself until then. I will occasionally venture out to buy groceries and go for runs on the weekends. I am worried about my family but they don’t live in the area and I’m doing what I can to help them stay home (getting their groceries delivered etc.). The macro situation is beyond my control.

To add: I remind myself daily that I am lucky to have a job in this environment and I need to be extra patient in putting up with the BS I get from bosses. Everyone is on edge now and I don’t need to get canned for telling them what I actually think. This will be a challenge but I’m working through it. This is def one solid piece of guidance- do whatever you is in your power to keep your job right now (understanding that industry layoffs are out of our control and may happen anyhow).
