All-in long term remote work for both of us. I'd already been doing it for 5 years when the pandemic hit, but she had never done it before. Homeschooling, which I've also supported for a long time but had never done before.

Did you burn your bridges by moving somewhere else?

The moving truck was at my place yesterday. Going back to my home town.

Which is where, and how is it different from where you are now?

Decided to build a UV device with @getchroma after seeing how large of a role nitric oxide and vitamin D may play in COVID-19. I previously felt hesitant to even think about UV, but once I looked into it I saw safety was rather trivial. Found ideal wavelength LEDs within few nm!

Do you have it on a blog or thread somewhere?

Moved to the country. Not impossible to reverse, but ~medium sized commitment in future moving-back-to-the-city fees. It's the best so far.

More details: 1. Was mid-move from Australia to US when COVID broke out, cancelled move and returned home to large city. 2. After short-term accom in large city, moved to rural area ~120 miles away. wfh, with (<2hr) public transit link if necessary. 3. amazed at QoL.
