Nice read and an interesting topic @revisesociology!

It has worked out okay for me I guess. My life has not changed all that much aside from a decrease in my Patreon users because they could not afford to do it anymore. I also have had a decrease in random donations which is something that I have never counted on anyway. Basically I have been scratching by on Hive earnings and liquidating the majority of my profits and not Powering Up as much of my earnings as I would like to be doing.

I did start ordering my groceries and tobacco products online to minimize my exposure but I do still visit the one small feed store in the area to purchase dog food and chicken feed but usually only the shopkeeper is present when I do so.

I have lived in the past in a one hundred percent off-grid fashion but at this place I have access to electricity and pumped well water which is convenient but I know how much any 'convenience' can lull me into a false sense of security so I prioritized setting up my solar panel rig and a rain water harvesting system just to have them on standby.

Although I generally live a much more isolated lifestyle there are other humans on the homestead where I live now and I have to say that although I have come through it all rather unscathed it has played hell on them in a number of ways and to be honest having random out-of-state (and in-state) visitors and them visiting friends etcetra is by far my worse contagion vector and makes me want to scream "What is wrong with you people!"

At first I avoided the heck out of them (my fellow homesteaders and their guests) as much as I could but once I saw their morale breaking down I broke my usual hermit-like ways and began attempting to boost their morale a bit which is a hit or miss prospect for sure and probably not worth the risk to my life. Now that the cases are beginning to surge here I have been debating on whether to start isolating again from them because yeah all that 'huggy we will be okay' stuff is downright dangerous!
