      I am very sorry to hear that. I genuinely hope that you use the word “collapse” in a more liberal way than I do. I am saying I hope and not implying that you do, and I definitely don’t say this in any way trying to minimize or disregard your pain and suffering. I wish the best to you and your family, and hopefully the projections that Yσɠƚԋσʂ has mentioned about what is to come by Spring turns out to not materialize.

          I definitely consider a change to not being able to afford showers a collapse of the standard of living. That sucks, and your experience is definitely a powerful counter-example to my experience.

          I try to keep a realistic perspective about my own privileged conditions, and I am well-aware that relative to the whole world I am incredibly privileged. But I might be underestimating my level of privilege within Europe.
