If I could go into suspended animation until the pandemic is over, I would. I wouldn’t be missed, and I would save myself from wasting several more months of my life. Since that is not possible, is there some regimen of diet, exercise, sleep, and meditation or whatever else that will minimize wear and tear on my body and mind for the next few months?

I’ve never been a longevity fetishist, but the way I have to live these days is just a waste of the limited time I have left on this planet.

(If you’re thinking of telling me that the next few months don’t have to be a waste, that I can write a novel or learn a language or a musical instrument or make a killing in the stock market or something, don’t bother. Wake me when it’s over.)
