4. Not much into going places, except hiking and a few things. Quarantine wouldn't

be a major disruption for a reasonable time. I work primarily from home, and the virus gives me another excuse to avoid meetings.

So, short-term quarantine wouldn’t hurt me. But there are some events I’d miss. My lady friend, however, might not like being stuck with me if isolated from her kids/grandkids and lots of friends.

Worst thing would be knowing others are hurting financially from job loss, from being cooped up, and of course illness.
