Ontario has ordered the closure of all non-essential businesses as of 11:59pm on 24MAR2020. The list of all “essential” businesses is quite long, though:

My workplace is essential, apparently. I suppose that makes sense – people need anything that can help them stay calm these days. Honestly, it’s quite a relief to find out one way or another. My anxiety has been through the roof these past few days, hearing rumours of closures. My brain is happy to have a firm decision, even if it means no quarantine for me. I don’t like ambiguity, and I hate it even more when everything is moving so fast lately, and everything is ambiguous. With a firm direction I can just accept things and make it work. The unknown bothers me much more than the known, even if the known is crappy. I can adapt.

I am grateful to still be employed, when I know so many who have lost their jobs.
