The situation seems significantly worse in the U.S. I'm afraid I'd actually be a BURDEN in the U.S because I have no housing and no family to stay with when I get back. So finding housing in the middle of a crisis when states and cities are on lockdown really doesn't seem to make much sense. Whereas, in Singapore, I live with my partner.. there is no housing problem.. I am not a burden on Singapore as I have savings and spend a lot when I stay here. The situation here feels so calm and normal here. Whereas when I am forced to return to the U.S it will be like going into a massive hurricane. It's definitely very scary. I've already had multiple flights for April get cancelled. It's so stressful. I didn't plan to type all of this as a reply, but I don't know I feel so alone as everything keeps evolving everyday and it's getting more confusing and stressful.

I just don't know if I'm the only person in this kind of situation or if there are others out there. I have no "home" in my home country because I've been overseas for much of the last 20 years. I started a new relationship last year with a Singaporean and now I'm here. Had no idea the global crisis would hit like this.. I came back to Singapore before the crisis started. Yet I know I have to try to leave before the end of the 90 days even though 95% of flights are cancelled now and neighboring countries have all closed their doors limiting options dramatically. It would make more sense and be safer if I could stay here longer, but at the same time I realize that I need to do all I can to avoid overstaying.
