Coronavirus - Several Months On

cstanton
cstanton over 5 years ago

I can easily understate that this has been crazy. Four to six months ago for a lot of people, the scenario we're in now was unbelievable.

 

Over those months, members of the Community stepped up with fantastic suggestions, projects, activities and intentions. Especially in the areas of personally protective equipment.

 

Now that we're still in the the process of dealing with it, as some countries ease down the restrictions, and yet others are still finding ways to cope with it - how are you handling it and coping with it?

 

Are you still working on projects to help with the pandemic, or have things moved on for you?

 

Did you end up identifying more activities that you can help out with, or is the new state of affairs now a business as usual for you?

 

For myself I'm still hiding at home, however more and more is opening up and getting closer to how matters were before and less requests of support, but I know that isn't the case everywhere in the world.

    To be honest, the only thing that has changed for me is occasional working from home days! I've still been going to work throughout when I'm in teaching or doing courseware/exam design and review work…

    Since I am in the high risk group, we have stopped going out as much as we did before, but since all of our favorite restaurants deliver, we can still enjoy good meals. Biggest down side is that we cannot…

    I started the isolation period here, printing facemask frames (for replaceable cloth inserts) and various strap options (as my ears do not need help in sticking out). But after that, I took advantage of…

    Here are some things that have changed for me since the start of pandemic:

    • I haven't had a haircut since March and am beginning to look a bit wild even for me
    • I moved from Seattle to Portland - not a wise thing to do if it can be avoided.  The obstacles to be overcome with government and business closures and house sales and...
    • I am much closer to family and grandkids now :-)
    • I go to the grocery store when it is open only for seniors and people at risk
    • I drive around with a box of masks and gloves in the car
    • I haven't been able to do anything with electronics because my things were in storage until I moved into the new house last weekend.  And now they are in boxes waiting to be unpacked. 

     

    But most importantly I have maintained my health and have much to be thankful for.
