the best you can

I was only supposed to be subletting a room for the month of march, from a dear friend while she was supposed to tour around usa with our friends band. While the tour got cancelled due to a family emergency, I still took the sublet because I had already paid and was really looking forward to it because i havent lived anywhere besides my parents! And all my friends live there. Then around mid march quarantining started to take place. My roommates continued to have their partners and other people theyre involved with come in and out of the space we all share. Mean while i was definitely not okay with it. Theres 5 people who live there right now including me, 2/5 of the roommates do not want anyone coming into the house that doesnt live there. 3/5 of the roommates wouldn't mind if everyone elses significant other was coming back and fourth... do they not know this is a global pandemic featuring life and death situations? So far ive been told that some people at the house are WILLING and ABLE to pay my rent if i want to dip out for April? Excuse me? Why dont you just learn to gain the ounce of respect for your friends health and well being? The only thing i could compromise was a solid two week window where no one comes in and out that doesnt live there. I cant control others actions but i can try to set a boundary. Currently trying to sort out another quarantining space that feels like a safe space for me. Thank you for creating this platform. You are not alone.
