I too never stopped working. Went in every day like "we ride at dawn bitches"
I work in commercial buildings, electrical maintenance. They all shut down...except hospitals. I worked nothing but hospitals all of 2020. Covid wards and all. I had scar tissue from the nose clip on the n95 masks.
It was really fucking frustrating with the conspiracy theorists claiming there were no viral cases when I just got back from Stanford Children's Hospital where half the building had been converted into a covid ward, new patients were arriving every few minutes flown in from regional ICUs, and nurses and doctors were sleeping on the floor from exhaustion.
I push carts
I have OCD and even over a year prior to the pandemic would wear gloves and use sanitizer constantly
It was hilarious when the only change I needed to make was wearing a mask, meanwhile everybody else had to adjust

If I had to eat out, favoring hot, greasy food over cool, dry food. The logic was that the viral walls of Covid weren't actually that strong and were less likely to survive wet, oily, slightly acidic and hot foods. That's if I ate out. Really tried not to and just made healthy foods at home.
I also preferred conformable work/mechanic gloves over latex gloves. I figured being able to wear them the whole time would be safer then getting annoyed at sweat buildup and trying to take them off constantly. Same goes with wearing a full face shield over a mask sometimes. A lot of infections were from getting spite in the eyes without knowing it.
I work outside and by myself most of the time, so my day to day life didn't really change at all. Got vaxxed and boasted when available and never caught covid once.
edit: oh, just remembered what my friend's plan was. His wife was going to make fabric masks with pockets that accepted swiffer pads. I told him that it was a terrible idea and found him the SDS for those thing which listed skin irritation as a possible. Dumbass was going to be breathing that shit in and selling them.
Masks that had a slot for replaceable cut up HEPA filter vacumn bags.
Ironically because of Joe Rogan I was among the first people in my friend group and family to take the threat seriously
I live in San Francisco, where we shut down IMMEDIATELY. It was actually in Feb, not March. Everyone was like, well, that's probably overkill, but better safe than sorry.
A month later NYC had mobile crematoriums.
My wife got upset with me for getting coffee at the drive thru.
I refused to stop though, told her if that thing was going to spread via someone passing a coffee cup thru a window we're all fucked anyways and I may as well enjoy my coffee on occasion.
I used to make my husband text me pictures of him in a mask at the grocery store just slightly before masks became mandatory. I swiped some from work just before things got rolling and we began wearing them. Probably my best idea.
Plus the whole companies going into overdrive with enforcing hand washing and sanitizer
So the virus would need to also survive constant hand washing and sanitizer use, and if it did that, then nothing was able to be safely handled
