what do you miss the most while you are staying home (quarantine-social distancing) and saving lives?

Very little. I am carrying on working, but I get all the time that I would have wasted commuting to and from an office back. I can contact people if I need, but don't feel that is necessary. I only have to look out of my window to see ambulances arriving every other day to take people away to know how lucky I am.

From a purely selfish point of view, dreading going to the supermarket for our weekly shop and risking picking up whatever could be lurking in there (virus), hairdressers not available, and vets on a minimal consult. schedule when I need to see mine for a face to face chat about what's best for one of my hounds, who is in trouble - with him right there.   Yes I could talk to him over the phone, but I need more than that.

I also miss a decent news programme instead of continual stories about people who have lost loved-ones, people who have survived and people talking on vid.links with cameras up their noses.

Driving down to the bar for a coffee and a bun a chat to the regulars, my dog misses this too as her adoring fans would come in to worship her and bring small offerings, acknowledging her superiority...

I don't know. I live by myself and am kind of a shut-in anyway, so not much has changed. The business that I work at is an essential business, so I still go to the office pretty much every day. I go to the grocery store every few weeks (no different than before) and I occasionally get drive thru or order a pizza (again, no different). I still visit my family and drive around a bit. But, there are very few cases of coronavirus in my area at this point. I suppose if there were more cases, I would probably just stay at home and work from home all the time.

Nothing.
My lifestyle neglects enough, if any home time so being ordered to stay home is like paradise to me.
I feel bad for the people that are enduring financial, health or employment adversity brought on by the pandemic, but I wouldn't complain If I have to stay home for the rest of the year
