52 Lessons Learned From Covid That We Couldn’t Figure Out Before The Restrictions

ADVERTISEMENT

With the pandemic over, the lessons learned from Covid-created circumstances will stay with us for a very long time. These lessons came with a harsh price tag — time, money, and life-wise. The hard lessons learned during the pandemic helped change lives and structures. But how much different are these lessons from the everyday stuff we learn? Are the life lessons from pandemic times more important and visible?

Since pandemics are more of a global problem, the lessons learned during them come from every corner of Earth. So, the life lessons we learn during these times will be harder to forget due to their popularity. For example, the pandemic showed how fragile free time is and how to use it correctly, but it's just the lessons learned in life. Luckily, we did come to value our free time more.

Since the pandemic restrictions are starting to loosen up, it’s time to look at the lessons we learned. User Affectionate-Ad1060 asked an interesting question on AskReddit, which we could all answer — “What is the most important lesson learned from Covid-19?” Upvote the lessons you learned yourself too. On the other hand, if you have a teaching of your own to share, do so in the comments below.

Fantastic Mr Fox 1 year ago

Not just about Covid. It's becoming worse in general. It's not just actual people influencing any more. There are companies selling "influence". They have software which can create fake accounts with profiles, then tweet and post to forums to give the impression a lot of people oppose a certain politics and are in favor of other policies. Apparently it costs about 1 million to tip an election in Africa (which was the example I saw). Software can create photos of a person that never existed. On the internet nobody knows if you exist in real life. It's similarly a natural progression from tracking people habits, opinions, and behavior for the purpose of advertising and selling products, to use the very same info to manipulate people politically. I don't know where this will lead us.

Heyo. I’m Džiugas, a writer for Bored Panda’s Home & Design section. You can guess from my name that I’m a happy person. At least, I try to be happy and full of joy. I’m always down to analyze old and new movies and suggest decor ideas to add some pizazz to your home.
