My job was totally fine, byt my partner had been laid off right before me. I was happy to be able to spend a bunch of time with them—I didn’t even know about COVID yet. Then a couple months later, everything shut down. I didn’t work for years. It was incredible.

I was confused before this, and it didn't make it easier

I'm guessing they were well off if they were able to not work for years.

I’m guessing they live in a country that doesn’t hate it’s citizens

I'm not sure of many countries where the average person can take years off of work in a row and be fine financially. Do you know of any countries like this?

COVID was a special situation
