My main problem with it isn’t so much productivity (if anything I’m possibly a little more productive). It’s more the isolation (not helped by the fact that my country is now closing everything down). The only person I’ve talked to in person since Wednesday was a supermarket cashier. Assuming this goes on for a few months I have serious doubts about my ability to stay sane.

Yeah same here. I work remotely anyway, but usually do so in a coworking space. Now that I'm actually at home, it gets kind of lonely. Not looking forward to the moment the actual lockdown reaches us.
In my case the first crisis came after three months.

It gets better after that.

I'd definitely hope not to be doing this for three months!
what you need is a hangout with friends on the weekends somewhere. Don't just have work in your life.

Edit: obviously, the recent events would be an exception, but i'm just saying in general.

I mean, I do, normally. The current crisis makes that more difficult, though.
