That was a time of extreme chaos. I think we were on our 4th set of 15 days to stop the spread and it was starting to set in that all my business wasn't coming back in two weeks or even two months.
It's oddly poetic that in a time of extreme uncertainty there was absolute certainty that once block 630000 dropped block reward would drop to 6.25.
I think you and I were experiencing similar uncertainty. Relying on commercial real estate with mom and pop tenants wasn't very secure for me.

Yes, very odd time. Plus, my daughter was only 1.5 at the time.
The only business we really had left was with our client that owned a bunch of medical buildings, so I spent a lot of time in those buildings. My wife was so paranoid I was going to get my daughter sick she used to make me strip down to my boxers in the front hall and go take a shower when I got home. Then she used to spray the crap out of my clothes with lysol aerosol. She actually made herself sick (she thought she caught covid) spraying that crap everywhere in a small space. Her doctor told her, no you don't have covid you are inhaling half a can of lysol spray a day. Hahahaha. This was of course before we knew it really wasn't that serious unless you were old or obese.

New York was ground zero for batshit crazy. My mom's kidneys were failing and she didn't want to be alone for dialysis. Fortunately her dialysis center had the best bunch of techs I could imagine. They let me in to stay with her, violating restrictions. I had to do the whole mask and gown thing, though.

My dad was dying from prostate cancer
No one can die from covid!
Deaths unrelated to covid are ok!

Terrible time
15 days to flatten the curve was a lie from the beginning
No large gatherings unless you were rioting for BLM
