I find the "my life hasn't changed much" comments interesting.

Some of us are not out late at night. We don't drink and don't do bars or pubs. Just living a normal life. About the only thing I don't do anymore is go to restaurants and I have lost 4kg in a month from eating better home cooked food. I get it, many want to get back out in life and play again but I think for the time being, the world has changed somewhat and things will not be back to normal for some time. Plenty of people are suffering at the moment but to the point, we so far have missed a 'bullet' and I think many would prefer to keep it that way. Things will ease over the coming months but we are nothing going to see much of a getting back to normal life for sometime.

Exactly. Heart attack and suicide rate under this quarantine is much higher that deaths rate from corona virus. It is just absurd to torture people like that.

Some of us don't go to bars/niteclubs, go out late or are heavy drinkers. I don't notice much difference - perhaps excepts for going to restaurants. Cooking at home is cheaper anyway.

Try living with two kids in lockdown.....full time job keeping them entertained and stimulated. One just lost a video game punched his tablet and then bit it and it is now officially kaputski. So stop whining.

We all dodged WWII, Korean War, hopefully Vietnam War, Falkland Islands War, and the Iraq War....except me as I was in the SAS...Salvation Army Sods....Yuck yuck yuck. So life isn’t that hard. We have hopefully all our limbs, eyesight, and hearing but no hair. Get a grip people.

Thanks for that cup of tea on the balcony.

Something else I achieved during the last week is to get a load of classical music and go through it making up playlists... right now 'Concerto de Aranjuez' is playing. Some things you just never get around to in normal times... My son is 8, and not going to school gives me time to read with him, and he spends an hour practising various skills - like arithmetic and writing - which is something I treasure having extra time for.

 

So I'll be counting the costs of returning to normal life probably as much as many here are complaining about loss of boozing time.

Damn, what the hell were you eating before, piles of lard wrapped in bacon?

Haven't really noticed. Been at home since mid February. Before that used to travel abroad every couple of months for variety. Nothing much out here in Thailand that I've got interest in anymore. Only thing that grates is kids' home school. Bloody full time job.
