Will life ever return to the “safe times” we enjoyed before Covid?

Those I’ve asked feel that the changes are here to stay. I am sure that returning to pre-Covid won’t happen “in my lifetime.”

I would love to go back to the pre-mask days. The time when “social distancing” wasn’t a polite request.

I loved Kings Point when we mingled freely but things are more restrictive now. I still like it here but now Portico Pick-Up is an option. Masks are required in hospitals and doctors’ offices.

Being opposed to vaccinations is a reason for me to “avoid” close-up contact. Yes, I’ve stayed away from males who were opposed to vacs.

I got Sophie in December 2018 and Covid really kicked in March 2020. (Kings Point shut down completely on March 18, 2020.) If I hadn’t had her when everything closed down, I’d have gone crazy. I appreciated her more that I’d ever imagined. Losing John was tough but made easier by her. Admittedly Covid made her even more valuable to me.

It doesn’t seem strange to see folks shopping with a mask on. I watched a New Years Eve party on line and some folks were dancing “masked” and it wasn’t noteworthy.

To feel secure, I will forever need an ample supply toilet paper and tooth paste.

Before Covid, I had manicures but non since. I had to go through the painful “grow-out” of my nails. Never again so I won’t risk having them. I realize caring for my own is good enough for me.

Yes, I feel the impact of Covid will forever be with us me.

I didn’t bring up the change in the nation’s financial situation. Homes, groceries, and gas prices have all escalated as a direct result of Covid. Restaurants closed, people lost jobs, the economy really went downhill.
