Turning Point in History

Just like everyone else around the world, my everyday life has become obsessed with the Coronavirus. And it has become even more obsessive because I'm in Seattle, one of the largest hotspots in the United States. Things are weird now, that's how it feels. I work/worked in the service industry, not because I can't get a "real job" but because working at this game store and being their social media manger brings me a lot of joy.  I've had the "real job" and I hated it, and right now said "real job" would fall under the same non-essential category. About a week ago Seattle finally decided to put us under Stay-at-Home orders, and my job fell under non-essential.  And all of a sudden I found myself basically jobless.  For over 2 weeks, I've been trying to file for temporary unemployment, and I can't get through to the offices.  I realize that they are overwhelmed by everyone filing.  But this adds such a sense of fear to my life.  Wil
