Well, if nothing else, I have learned a few things during the last few months that Covid-19 has been “all the rage”.
At the start of this thing, I figured there would be some things to be learned from it all. Here’s my preliminary list:
Having pandemic supplies will not do a thing unless you and your whole family stay home alone and nobody comes to visit. I realized, that’s just not me, even though I’m a bit of a hermit.
It’s also not realistic for the majority of people to do this long term. Sorry, but if something really nasty comes along, I will probably die because even if I stayed home, wife won’t. Besides, I’m not staying at home forever out of fear. That’s a life I’m not willing to live.
Getting truthful information is nearly impossible, even without a comm shutdown! I doubt HAM radio operators got any better information than I did on the idiot box or internet.
Trying to sort thru all of it was a mind trick. Now, I’m just angry because I don’t believe the media, I don’t believe the politicians of either party, I don’t believe the medical experts… I flat-out don’t believe anybody! At this point, I’m just thinking……..BRING IT ON!
I was pretty stocked up on food and still am, but I do get bored cooking and planning every single meal.
I also didn’t realize how important fresh veggies were to my mental health. Canned and frozen veggies get monotonous really quickly. I don’t think I’ll ever underestimate fresh celery, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms again.
Also, even though we have lots of freezer space and when your spouse still gets carry-out fast food, when you cook every meal at home,even for just yourself, that food disappears rather quickly.
Watching YouTube videos and reading books on how to cut hair doesn’t hold a candle to actually cutting hair.
I learned I need to get my dog grooming supplies cleaned up and that cutting hair will have to be a learned skill. Combs! I need to get some combs!
I learned which of my family and friends are or aren’t fearful of these sorts of things. The majority of our friends and family are not fearful.
Are they (and I) stupid, stubborn, fed up, all of the above?? Who knows? Only time will tell. But any fear I may have had has morphed straight into anger because at this point, I think this is all a big farce and and experiment in social engineering.
I was/am amazed at how easily the masses can be controlled. I had no idea it would be that easy.
However, after this thing blows over, I don’t think it will be so easy in the future. At least, that is my hope!
