My US state has ordered all non-essential businesses to close as of today. I work in a grocery store, which is considered essential, so I still have a job. Yay?
I'm glad to know I'll be able to pay rent and buy food, but it's also stressful and exhausting and I feel like it's inevitable that I'll contract the virus. I'm wearing gloves at work, but I'm in proximity to hundreds of people every day. I don't want to get sick. Even colds often give me bronchitis, and at 50, with diabetes (well controlled when I follow the meal plan, but frankly the world feels so fucked up that all I want to do is stress-eat carbs), I'm at some risk for a more severe reaction if I get infected.
I'm not asking for advice (particularly not about diabetes and eating, thanks, I have a perfectly good meal plan). I just wanted to vent a bit.
