Coronavirus - Several Months On

cstanton

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.

  • 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 go to the Senior Center, where all of the exercise equipment was available.

    I could still do some things at home, but we have broken our routine and that is hard to get re-established.

     

    They have postponed my 50th High School reunion for a year, which if they get an effective vaccine we might be able to hold.

     

    We are still working on the books, volume 16 should make it out in August and volume 17 might be available by the Christmas season.

     

    I try to check in at element 14 every day, but I have been out the last two days with a bad migraine.

     

    Next week I turn 68.

  • 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, a works laptop has given me more flexibility but I've only really had about 5 days home working over the last month.

    Class sizes have shrunk to maintain safe occupancy levels, and training within the simulator is now split over either 2 shifts or between 2 instructors.

     

    Got some leave coming up soon and by the 5th of August I'll be able to be near my wife again for the first time since the middle of April! - I guess that is actually the largest change after all!

     

    Oh yeah, and I'm 52 on Thursday! YAY! image
