Did Covid Change Your Lifestyle?

[naomi24]

We don't go out nearly as much as before and we don't have as many people here for dinner now.  I know people who no longer go to the hairdressers or have given up going to hobby clubs they used to attend - and so many people don't go to the supermarket any more preferring to have groceries etc delivered instead.  I've never had food shopping delivered - I figured it was best to leave slots to those who needed them in the pandemic -but I must admit I tend to go to Amazon now rather than the High Street for most other things.  I think covid had a significant impact on a lot of people and changed a lot of lives - but not due to them succumbing to infection.

My life hasn't changed much at all.  I did use internet shopping during lockdown after going to the supermarket and being forced to put a full trolley of shopping through a self service till.  I still order online for store cupboard items  but shop for fresh food.  As soon as I was allowed, I went back to doing what I did before.

I now WFH for 2-3 days a week, and that's good for me. I did online shopping before and now do still

Not changed us much.  I didn't like on-line shopping - so did normal shopping anyway during lockdown. 

We did age a lot, I think, faster than we should have done.  Our little choir folded, things like that. Lots of happy, local associations have stopped.  We keep going as much as possible.

*The BIG problem seems to be that the younger generation, which should be taking over the running of such things as the Community Centre, Church and Pub events, don't go out as much and are failing to fill our shoes.  It's that generation which has the problem, not us.

Nope, except for losing my senses of taste and smell for a while.

I worked more or less seven days a week over the piece and for a lot of it things were good. Only me and the blue lighters on the road it seemed.

Yes it has I'm no longer active and spend my time sleeping all day and I'm awake all night

I think my life is pretty much the same now as it was in 2019 apart from working from home now part of the week.

Dont go to pubs/restaurants in the evening very much but that is more to do with being anti social and not being able to afford it.

Lost all fear of Covid years ago after my jabs.

No, not at all. I suppose I was lucky that I could carry on much of my normal activities due to my community job, so I was not restricted.

Ratter! So nice to see you again.

I miss social distancing... I have friends and acquaintances who are huggers... I don't do hugs.... More than about 3 seconds I get in a complete panic and will push people away...

Hi Ratter! You've been missed

 

Same as you, Rowan. Hugging is for family only and friends small children (if they initiate it)

Yes, mum in law caught and died in hospital.
