This timing is really unfortunate. I work as a freelance software engineer and my assignment ended a month ago. I've been looking for a new assignment, but it looks like nobody is hiring right now. I'm preparing for burning through all my saving because I don't see it change easily in the next months :(

Same here. I was about to start a new job abroad two weeks from now, but now my country's borders are locked and I can't fly out (not that I'd want to if I could, in this situation). I'm hoping I can renegotiate for remote, but if that fails, I'll be burning through savings too.

I'm kinda feeling this too. I've been accepted into a masters in quantitative finance abroad, and was looking forward to starting in September. Now, not so sure what's going to happen, especially if we're heading into recession and other issues...

Same but due to bad sales. Mine is postponed until people go back to work.

Hopefully 9 months of mortgage is enough to survive this.
