Words cannot express how grateful I am that most of this did not impact me personally. My husband and I run our own business, and work from home. At the time we lived in Texas and were in the construction industry-deemed essential there. The worst part for us was not being able to go to church (virtual did okay for a while, but we had a hard time with it) inconvenience, and weight gain. We’re both introverts, so the lack of society bothered us only after about three months of lock down, so we visited South Dakota, which never locked down, and eventually moved here. The worst part was family members in the medical industry telling us why we should buy all of the government bs, family and friends losing jobs, or under threat to do so, and family and friends buying in to the whole bs and getting sick anyway - some dying because of it. Words cannot express my gratitude that we don’t live in Canada or Australia or New Zealand, which handled this even worse than the US.

The Catholic Bishops were the worst! Closing churches for months. President Harrison did a pretty good job, and that is saying a lot since these were uncharted waters. I am grateful for our Governor DeWine who named churches as "essential" in Ohio.
