My quarantine ended this morning....so I will offer these observations:
1. Quarantine enthusiasm hypes at the 4th day, and from that point, it's a pretty negative experience.....particularly if you reside with someone in a 70-odd square meter place, with a small balcony.
The general feeling of wanting to escape? That comes around by the 8th day, and you'd like to just sneak out at 4 AM and disappear for sixteen hours.
2. I was kind of lucky in that the wife had a stock of food in the house, and we had enough to survive out the quarantine period.
3. If you start out at 7 AM....watching ARD (public TV) news, and just leave the channel on for the remainder of the day (the next 16 hours).....there's over 300 minutes of Covid-19 news spread throughout the day. It's not a wise thing to watch ARD that much.
4. Thank God that I had Netflix and Disney-Plus. I probably watched 120 man-hours of movies and TV shows.
5. The local county health authority did call every single morning (even weekends).....to ensure we were OK, and we weren't 'sneaking-off'.
6. Finally, at the end of a quarantine, you really feel like going to a hardware or landscaping store for ten hours....and spending a fair amount of money.
