Well, I live alone and I don't have any friends. I see that most people do online chats and talk on the phone.


I think the online chats are just the safer bet, without knowing the person's stance on coronavirus. Personally I have no fear of the virus. It's worth it for me to risk the .003% chance of death to be in the company of people - but I won't force them to take the same risk and I don't think less of them for not wanting to. We are social creatures, and once I find out they they too are willing to take the risk, I prefer to do something with them in person.

I think this virus is doing more damage to our mental health than physical health. I'm not dismissing the people that the virus has taken, but I think it's affected more people than it's killed - and I don't know in how that manifests in the people that it's affected.

I hope the online chatting subdues our need as social creatures, until a vaccine comes along

Hey.. I don't like living alone but that's what is going on with me.. My biggest consolation is I might survive until a safe vaccine is developed. Yet my biggest fear is that I might have a more severe health crisis and don't have friends or family locally to help me.. I am concerned..
