Last week we celebrated the Seder (Passover Eve), which is Israel’s most family oriented event. You can use this zoom background for your fun personal purposes (please note it is not for commercial use). It’s a green corona virus that sneaks behind the person on the screen. He suggested that I illustrated a COVID-19 themed background, and I sent him this one. He lives in the U.S and uses Zoom to keep up with his work and studies. Making a Zoom background was my brother’s idea. In the meantime I draw some relevant stock images. There is a facebook group dedicated to coronavirus memes and also a super funny trend of re-dubbing Disney songs with lyrics that match the situation. But compared to all the things I worry about on a daily basis, this feels like taking a breather.Īnd let’s not forget the blissful COVID-19 humor that flourishes online. I don’t worry about violent attacks or new terrorism waves because we are all safe inside.ĭon’t get me wrong, I do worry about the coronavirus. I don’t worry that someone will break into my house while I’m out because I’m always in. I don’t need to be scared of car accidents because no one drives anywhere. The truth is, I am calm BECAUSE I am so anxious! You see, all of the fears that I have on normal days are now on hold. But surprisingly, this is the calmest I’ve ever been. I’m generally a very anxious person, with a set of fears for every occasion, including an unexpected pandemic. Most of my income arrives from online assets (such as stock illustrations), which means I get paid even when I do nothing. Work-wise, not much changed for me either. Also, our house belongs to our family, so there is no rent. We have a big garden with sun terraces and trees, so we don’t feel suffocated indoors. Our house is attached to my parents’, so we see them every day. My husband is with me, so I’m not lonely. I don’t have kids, so I couldn’t care less if schools are closed. I somehow dodged all of the affects mentioned above. People feel lonely and depressed.Īnd then there is me. Many employees started working from home and struggle to adapt. Independent businesses receive little to no help from the government.

People lost their incomes but still must pay rent.

Businesses stopped operating and their owners sink into debts.

Kids stay at home and drive their parents nuts. It’s been 3.5 weeks since Israel went into a lockdown due to the COVID-19 situation. “seriously?” they think, “we are crushing under this emergency and you entertain yourself by drawing a funny Zoom background?” I can feel the criticism of people around me.
