For me, life has generally been busier. Since I've worked from home for 10 years, and my industry (banking) is considered essential, it's been a matter of continuing to do everything I alwasy did, while adding oversight of some hardware and configuration changes to ensure the newly-WFH members of our 275,000 employee base can actually, you know, DO IT, and having a MUCH bigger presence at my office, a/k/a my house. Wife, son and daughter are ALL off from school, and all demand more of my time than usual, so this has been an impact to me for different reasons.
An old family friend we've known for decades got sick with COVID and was dead in 2 days, before we even knew he was sick. My father was rushed to the hospital in New Jersey for having a 102 fever for five days, along with delirium and other symptoms. He tested negative for COVID, but he has mild pneumonia and a new COPD diagnosis, so he is now just as susceptible as my mother (they are 82 and 78), who has COPD and mild emphysema. So far so good.
Other friends from high school have suffered and recovered, or appear to be recovering, so that's good, but this is some scary shit. Not panic scary, but it is important to follow CDC and WHO guidelines to stay safe and keep your famililes safe.
I want to try and do more metal minutes. I've been slacking.
@Syn Gates had gifted me his pickup set for Christmas, and I finally, like a month ago, went to install them in the blue quilt-top Ibanez. The pickup cavities were not sized for these monsters, so it waited. Well, today, the wait ended. I took a router bit in my cordless drill and made the pickup cavities big enough. I just installed them. Now I have to do the soldering (which I hate) and try to get the wiring right. I will do that today, and a video review will follow once they're tweaked for height and feeling good.

that's pretty much all there is.
