Title: What have you learned during COVID times?
Post by: Tyler on October 17, 2020, 01:25:25 PM
What is one thing that you've learned during these COVID times?

Please keep politics out of it.

Staying home more gives you alot of time to maintain that perfectly smooth head!

I’ve learned that I really like working from home.  I thought I would go nuts being at home so much and never seeing my co-workers but I’m really enjoying the freedom of not having someone constantly looking over my shoulder. Also enjoying not having to commute and having an extra hour in bed every morning.

One thing I learned is how much I need other people in my life.  These days we can't get close to each other, shake hands, hugs are out.  I not allowed to hug my own daughter because she works in a lab and does a lot of testing.  I really miss that. :-[  The whole thing is pretty depressing.

I've realized that I like eating outside more than I ever thought I did.

I learned just how little I actually need to go to a store for things. I tend to let them build up and do them all in one sweep rather than here and there like I used to.

Also, Walmart's grocery pick up is awesome! I save so much time and now only get what I need.

Go to sameday.costco.com to get them to deliver by Instacart. It's also awesome!

I learned that having good neighbors is a blessing.  Back in March, my wife and I had to quarantine because I was exposed to someone who tested positive (ironically, it was in a training course about remote learning!)  I texted several of our neighbors to let them know since at that point we didn't know how easily the virus spread.  They were terrific, offering to pick things up from the store, asking if we needed them to walk our dog, etc.

Yeah, having great neighbors is a blessing!

It's easy to put a mask on without any hair around your ears!

Some people seem to be falling out of love with their cars - and a good thing too for carbon emissions. That is one of a very few good things that have happened in the Covid age.

I learned something about humanity.  If people took this virus seriously and kept their distance, this virus might have just fizzled out long ago.  Here in RI, people are getting their first shot but not getting their second one.  I checked the numbers for infection this morning and they are still climbing.  I think people are becoming complacent and pretty much doing whatever they want.  Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity.

@David....agreed...barely put on 3K miles in the last year. And only did an oil change because it was well over a year since the last one.  Too bad the number of accidents were actually higher than in a normal year! Go figure. People taking advantage of speed on more desolate roads I guess.

Absolutely! The virus doesn't move. We move it. We're our own worst enemies.

@Clint....sadly i thought the same. Wearing a mask is the easiest thing to help a neighbor and a community out, and so many won’t do it.

At Christmas, when the pandemic was raging, I was appalled to see pictures of people milling round the supermarkets. Is is worth putting your life - or others - on the line for the sake of a few extra goodies? We paid for it in Britain, when the hospital rates and deaths soared in January. Why couldn't people show a bit more feeling for others?

I know people that did whatever they wanted and caught the virus.  The odd thing is, when they got it, they cried about it.  This virus thing is very serious!  When are people gonna figure that out?  I'm getting my second shot this afternoon but so many people arn't getting fully vaccinated and some arn't getting any vaccine.  It's all very confusing.  Next comes the booster shots which will probably be a yearly thing but we don't know yet.  I wonder how people that only had the first shot will respond to the booster shot.  This this is a mess.  I think we make stuff up as we go along.  I long for the days when things will return to normal but maybe not in my lifetime.
