Very true! I certainly hope governments will not rush to reopen countries as I'm sure new cases will crop up once people start moving around again. I've also heard that social distancing may continue for 1-3 years from now and I wouldn't be surprised if it did. Guess we'd better start getting used to the social distancing way of life until things blow over. The world will be a different place by the time this pandemic ends. The thing I'm struggling with the most right now is maintaining a daily routine and setting a schedule for doing work when I'm at home all the time. With all the flexibility it's easy to slide into unhealthy habits!Originally Posted by Bogertophis
It's not just you, & I share your hope for getting back to normal, though I think it's still going to take some time for this pandemic-crisis to get sorted out. Just dropping our guard now will lead to more virus spread & more victims...some health experts are now saying we may need to continue social distancing until 2022 (!) because right now we do not have everyone tested, nor do we have people trained to do contact-tracing to prevent spread...and while some companies are racing to develop a vaccine, few think it will be fully tested & ready for market any time this year -at least. We aren't used to feeling bossed around by "nature" but right now we're getting a very loud reminder. We all know that weather disasters happen- floods, tornadoes & even wildfires, but as bad as they are, they're not as widespread as this global pandemic. It's humbling to be side-lined by a tiny virus we can't even see with the naked eye, isn't it? I try to focus not on what I cannot do, but on what I can...pursing my interests, or even new ones. And I try to remind myself that "it could be worse". For example, I know someone who loves to travel & just bought a new camper...great timing, eh?
