I'm hoping by your FT handle, you're at least somewhere warm. I would be so much more tolerant of all this if I could sit on my patio and enjoy a nice beer or cocktail. But here in Chicago, we've rarely had days above 50 degrees. We're hoping spring comes soon, or at least comes some time after 6 months of winter (it snowed yesterday), so we can start grilling and enjoying some outdoor drinking.

To your point, one of our favorite winter activities when out of towners visit is to take them to a couple of the local taprooms. Not trying to be controversial, but I really hope we're in a position (via more testing, etc.) soon to return to the normal, accepted practice of quarantining the sick instead of the healthy.
