Happy 5-Year Anniversary, Covid-19!

5 years ago next month, people around the globe started to hear about a little thing called "Covid-19." It's wasn't anything to worry about, just a couple of cases of flu-like symptoms around the town of Wuhan. Then, 3 months later, the world changed. I'm curious...how has your own personal world changed since then? What do you find you are doing now, or not doing now, that was directly a result of the pandemic, which basically reared its head 5 years ago? And, of course, condolences to those who lost loved ones.

Not that I was doing it much beforehand, but I haven't been to a crowded indoor event since, such as a theater or concert. Even while shopping, I still tend to keep "social distancing".

I still have some of the brain fog, but it is getting better. Still can't stomach much pork or beef. Canned tuna? Forget it too as well as any frozen fish.

Early on I remember hearing about and being fascinated by the Chinese building hospitals in only a few days. They were dealing with some easily spreading very serious illness. My thinking was ‘’Thank God I don’t live in China-that would never happen in the US’’

And the world had a collective nervous breakdown.

I quit smoking, because when I got laid off from the job I despised, I figured I could either smoke or eat. (This was before the announcement of the additional unemployment benefits). So that was nice. I also happened upon a new job, and therefore did not return to that awful job when they eventually called me back. It was literally killing me, mentally and physically.

One comfort is dick head will screw up any pandemics/epidemics with that moron of a HHS director......because I want the next one to just take me out. I've had enough. Life hasn't been enjoyable for 2 years since my husband passed, and it looks like the next (at least 4) are just going to present more suffering. I'm done - I have no power, no control....what's the use?

I wish you could find something positive in your life - because when you identify it, it will grow and life will get better.
