In my country, pre pandemic, sometimes we would see people out and about wearing masks. Usually Asian tourists. I’m sure I’m not alone in my (then) view. That they were a bit odd or paranoid, or so sick maybe they shouldn’t be out. Now I reflect on those people and realize they were heroes. Without a mandate, without a law or a referendum or an argument, they willingly inconvenienced themselves in order to protect others. I am ashamed of my former critical, I’ll considered views.

Sleeping only 4-hours on workdays (14-hour shifts; sometimes 24-hours), only to sleep the day and nights away when off. Being hit, bitten, groped and cursed out.

I've missed birthdays and graduations. Missed out on a lot of living.

These last two years really did me in.

Tired of being sick and tired.

At least now I do. More than ever before.

I still don’t like zoom meetings but I can tolerate it now. Now that I’m farther removed I realized a lot of that was just something I was “used to” instead of something I enjoyed. My rent is almost 50% lower now and I’m only 10 miles from where I used to live downtown. I still have access to the city and if they need us in quarterly I can do a longer commute here and there. I’m not paying $200 a month for a parking spot.

I really REALLY love the accessibility of doing Doctor visits over the phone or Zoom.

Me : I have to talk to a psychiatrist on the reg. SUPER hard for me to go out to do that - I have debilitating anxiety and going OUT to wait in waiting rooms, be seen crying as I leave a therapy session, hell even just getting myself to shower, put on makeup, and clean clothes... it's f**king impossible sometimes. Not to mention that I used to have to have my husband drive me in to the city - a 45 minute drive - and take care of our young kids during my appointments. Then make the drive back in traffic - all of which exacerbated my anxiety and guilt and fatigue.

We've both been able to access our health care providers by ZOOM and by phone. That was never an option before this. It has been amazing and honestly? The quality of our care is IMPROVED because we aren't going through panic/dissociating/fatiguing/overstimulating just to GET to the appointments and so we are able to advocate for ourselves so much better.

A) I won't go grocery shopping any longer. It's easier to use Instacart and get it delivered than to face the hordes of crabby shoppers and those god-cursed self checkout things. I get what I need, and I'm helping support someone who (hopefully!) enjoys shopping. B) I will now always wear a mask on public transport - especially during flu season. C) I will now always carry hand sanitizer and use it after I get off the bus or train.

I've had bad experiences with Instacart (serious overcharging, not getting the one thing I really need, etc) and really prefer Shipt.

I have always found pitch-ins to be gross. I am so glad they are going out of style with this pandemic.

Homeschool is a blessing! No more school schedules, no more parents gaterings, no more morning fights over 5 more minute or the bathroom... no more dayli loads or laundry, no more frustating and frustrated teachers... Hope schools never open again

I won't bow down to anyone who has more qualifications than me again. I care for people with learning disabilities and when all the nurses left at the beginning of covid to go back to the NHS or furlough us carers had to do everything the nurses did before as our clients still needed caring for. We did everything the nurses do plus caring for people who had covid (which was brought in by a manager not us) we did medication, personal care, dealt with clients having serious mental issues due to not understanding what was going on on top of dealing with our own families and risking taking covid home to them and working crazy hours to cover the missing staff. When the nurses started coming back we were expected to treat them like returning hero's. No mate, I've been doing your job for half the money for nearly 2 years while all the hospitals were empty. You're not a hero you are a jumped up clown with an education and a messiah complex

I will never again wear an underwire bra. I will never again go into a store without a mask on. I'm not sure if I'll ever again go to the theater, or concert.

I think some of these people are going to be surprised and disappointed when their bosses replace them with people who *will* do the commute to the office and put in the overtime.

I will not live in the US again. This pandemic has shown me exactly how ugly and broken this country is, and I'm done. We are emigrating in 2022 and I can't wait.

I also think it should become a common practice.

I think people will forget about this pandemic, just like all the others before it, and go back to normal life. People forget quickly, and that's a good thing.

Blowing out candles on a birthday cake seems really gross now.

Last year was the first year I never had a cold. I'm sure as heck wearing a mask when in public so I never even get a cold. I hate being sick!

Probably won't be going to the store for groceries anymore. Too much time and frustration when I could just have them delivered while I'm snuggling on the couch with my dog.
