Maybe you'restuck working from homeand you're either loving or hating it.
Or even more seriously, maybe you're a small business owner whose livelihood is being affected by the outbreak.

Maybe your travel plans have been interrupted and you've been stranded somewhere, trying to get home.

A lot of schools and colleges have been affected, so maybe you're unable to attend class or stay in your dorm.
Harvard just gave students 5 days to pack all of their things, move out, and go home. many can't go home because of costs and travel restrictions, and they've provided no guidance. and we're expected to go to class for the rest of this week.
