How Has Life Changed For You After The Virus?

ECBG — Fri, 15 Apr 2022 02:44:00 GMT

I don't wear a mask any longer, but I will go to the grocery store with only eye makeup that never happened before.

I will always wear eye makeup.

Nothing has changed. My lips have "color" and I have never worn lipstick...

I don't believe we are actually " after the virus " yet. Vaccines, wearing masks and social distancing have played a huge role in getting things back to normal but unless we continue to be cautious until the CDC says we are in the clear and yearly vaccines like we take for the flu and Pneumonia for instance is the norm to keep it under control I will continue to be cautious. I will at this time continue to wear my mask where appropriate (as far as I am concerned) and practice social distancing. There is a middle school here in my area who has just resumed masks wearing for all students due to a sharp increase in covid cases among the students. I am very tired of this covid thing but I remain careful out there ! My church has gone to wear a mask as your personal choice during service but I continue wearing my mask at this time. I also wear it to the grocery store. I also just got my 2nd booster about 3 weeks ago. Stay safe out there people !

I lost a dear family member to Covid so every get together now is different and we all miss him more than words can say. I had to miss my DIL's shower because I was going to have surgery and couldn't risk getting the illness and compromise my lungs before going under general anesthesia, so that s*ucked. Day to day life really didn't change much though. We go where we want when we want.

I got the virus early in 2020 at the doctor's office. I retired earlier than I had planned. I missed my family & friends tremendously. I sold my house. I'm moving to PA tomorrow. I have more "blue" days than I used to. I don't think we're completely out of the woods yet either.

@Desert Lily "I'm moving to PA tomorrow."

Been working from home for more than 2 yrs. Only have to venture in as required. Not without stress as we have to learn new systems and workarounds.

I utilize curbside pickup for groceries. I hated grocery shopping!

Miss going to the hair or nail salon but will venture back in one day.

I've pretty much shut off the news but for a few minutes of early am business news. No idea of stats, mandates or the latest Boogeyman Report.

@Goodie2shoes

I totaly get what you are saying. Unless something profound comes down the tubes, I see every little cold and normal flu becoming Virus 1A, Virus 2B, John 5, Carol 6.....

@Mz iMac I have family in PA, and I had my 2nd booster 2 weeks ago in anticipation of moving. I began having a new house built there last July.

@Desert Lily

Did your part of the country just get the second booster? Mine was around 8 mos ago.

@Desert Lily on your new house.

@ECBG I got the 4th shot the same week the CDC recommended the 2nd booster for age 50+. But, did I mention that I had a serious allergic reaction to the 4th shot? Moderna has an NSAID that I'm allergic to that Pfizer does not have, so I can't help but wonder if the woman who administered the shot gave me Moderna instead of Pfizer. I had anaphylaxis from a med after shoulder surgery a few years ago, so now I'm very apprehensive to ever have shot #5 or more.

Nothing has changed. I still wear a mask inside any public building. I still spend my days alone. I'd love to visit my sister but not ready to fly yet and by the time I am, it'll probably be so expensive I won't be able to afford it. I'm wondering if I'll ever see her again.

Other than wearing a mask when I go to the doctor or dentist, nothing else has changed for me. 4th booster, no way.

My mindset from the beginning has been the virus is here to stay, and I have adapted my outing habits to doing what I used to do in flu season, to a full time routine now, with a mask.

This small area of WV had 4 HUGE surges that taxed our small hospital, and resulted in many local deaths. I was very careful with my outings; only shopped when I had to, but had the confidence to keep up with all medical appts. Hair is done here in my home monthly, and we wore masks. We do basic pedicures for health reasons, not beauty reasons, and continued those by wearing masks.

We are not travelers, mall shoppers, concert goers, or restaurant eaters, nor did anything else that involved crowds, so we don't have feelings of missing out on anything.

Nothing has changed for me or my family as a result of covid. However, lots of changes have occurred in our country that will and are impacting our daily lives and future.

Nothing has changed, since Covid is still here. I still wear a mask wherever I go, received my 2nd booster on April 2nd and I just carry on....

Be safe everyone!
