Do you feel like your life is on hold since the pandemic? I do. I know we all had plans and goals but now it's even more difficult. Last summer I was going to apply at another company. The industry I work in was hit extremely hard by the pandemic and no one is hiring just layoffs. If I didn't get that job my plan was to go back to school in another year or so for another career. I feel like I have to wait until things get back to semi normal (probably another year) to do anything.

I was texting about this with a friend, just today. I'm having a hard time foreseeing that things will ever be able to go back to the ways they once were. I see videos with crowds of people, maskless, shoulder to shoulder, enjoying themselves and wonder if it will ever be like that again. In the last couple of weeks I've had three separate dreams where I'm at some event and no one is wearing a mask, not even I, and I'm horrified at realizing that no one is practicing safety.

I think "normal" will forever be different, but with the vaccine, there's progress and hope, so I'm optimistic that things will be looking better very soon!

My life is not on hold. My area was never locked down. I was never locked in my home. For the most part people in my area did not stop going. A few places closed but those people drew astronomical amounts of unemployment so they had plenty of money to blow so they were running the roads every day.
Where I live everybody is hiring. They just can't get anybody to work. They would rather sit on their butt and collect a check that work for it.
I am curious as to why you think things will be back to "normal" in another year? When this started it was 2 weeks. Just 2 weeks. It has been over a year and the control is just getting worse. The "normal" you knew 18 months ago is gone. You will never see that again. It must be nice to be able to hide in your home for 2 years and not have to work.

People need to educate themselves. The mask will not keep you from getting a virus. The virus is 1000 times smaller than the pores in the mask. It can and will go right through. Every single person I know who has contracted this "virus" wore a mask. The mask did not make any difference.
The mask also gives a false sense of security. A few days ago I was at the grocery store. I saw a woman working in the bakery/deli at the grocery store. She is fixing hot chicken to put on their buffet bar. She proceeds to sneeze right over and on the chicken. She did not cover her mouth or even turn her head. But hey she had y'alls precious mask on. So are you okay with eating food that has been sneezed on IF the person had a mask over their mouth? Or would you want her to have turned her head because that mask is not going to stop her spit from going all over the chicken?

No there isn't. Again, people need to educate themselves. Do some research. The CDC has said that even with a vax you still have to wear a mask, you still need to SD, and all the other ridiculousness going on. Nothing will change. They have even said that a vax will not keep you from getting the virus anyway. Oh and have you seen where several people have died right after taking the vax? There was a man just a couple days ago that took the vax and he died 30 minutes later - right there in the floor where they gave him the vax. Several people have died from it and YES it was 100% from the vax. SO I am surprised that people are chomping at the bit to take a vax against a virus that has a 99% survival rate - meaning less than 1% will die when the same amount of people will die FROM the vax. Think about it.

My life is currently not on hold. Whatever I have planned for the future will be affected but not significantly.

The bible says when the last days of this Satanic system begins critical times hard to deal with would begin.
They began in 1914 and we saw immediately WW I began.The last 100 + years has only proven how TRUE the times have been.Satan and his angels were cast out of heaven then and confined to the earth and much WOE would begin as book of Revelation explains.
JW.org gives solid instruction how to listen to God in these tuff times.
Jesus said man didnt live by bread alone but by every word coming from Jehovah and resulting in everlasting life in a peaceful righteous government in Gods kingdom in heaven and earth.

I KNOW STAY HOME ALL DAY :( :( :(

2020 was suppose to be an awesome year for me and it got put on hold but I decided to do certain things this year anyway and just move as carefully as possible.

Unfortunately, I think this will be our way of life for some time. I also think that as the numbers fail to decline they will eventually make it a crime to not practice preventative measures.

The way things are looking, it will be a while before things are normal again.

Better to be alive on hold than dead? I know of several people who would trade their coffin for the mere thought of being locked up at home and wearing a mask. I have been so happy working at home that I kind of dread having to go back into the office next year. Our latest corporate town hall has indicated that we are, most likely, not going into the office till next year, if at all. Production numbers and quality have jumped dramatically and the cost of two corporate buildings does not seem to make much sense. I am perfectly happy working from home, taking a few breaks here and there to entertain my dogs, not having to get dressed up, not showering, not commuting three days a week (I worked from home two days a week before CoVid).

Countrygirl, THANK YOU for saying exactly what most of us are thinking! This is a political thing that had been blown WAY out of proportion. Yes, there is a virus. No we dont need to keep freaking out. Just stop already.
-
Yes I have had to delay a lot of plans I had particularly advancing in my career. My chosen work puts me at risk of getting the virus. I am making the sacrifice to wait to return to it because I'm trying to reduce the chance that I bring the virus home. I have an older parent to think about. I hope we are on the way to getting a better handle on Covid. Everyone would like to move forward with their plans.

You are a bit delusional. I find it a bit disgusting that you think since you "work from home" that hygiene is something that can be skipped but guess since you are not around people it's not a big deal. People like you don't seem to grasp that everyone is not able to work from home. We can't all stay locked in our homes. And most people don't want to. Maybe all those people in coffins that you know should have worn a mask and stayed at home. After all, that is going to save you from this big bad scary virus that has a 99% recover rate. ::)
I think most people would like to work from home. To be able to just stay home every day and have money deposited in their checking account every month. But that is not reality. And most real work from home jobs such as customer service, you have set working hours. You don't just work when you want like on these paid to click sites.

:) You are welcome. It is amazing at how brainwashed so many people are. I saw a few days ago where there have only been 155 cases of the flu in the US this past flu season. Uh, yeah, because they are calling everything covid. ::)
This was never about a virus. It is 100% political and 100% about control.

We had to miss 2 graduations that were important to us. I'm not allowed to leave the house because I'm high risk. My son's wedding is on hold. It just sucks.
-
Since the virus has been with us for months. I just get out the house long enough to get my hair fixed. My hair dresser and I both have our mask on since I go early that morning and she and I are the only one there. I order online at Walmart and get what I need and then go pick it up and they put it in the trunk of my car. I am staying safe.

OK FC members,U have to love this one from this fool.
She says the virus has a 99% recovery rating.Meanwhile 100s of thousands have died and many jobs have gone under.....yet a couple of people have died RE getting the vaccine and NOW she is leading a parade against it.LOL...she must have the virus in her brain.
Im on the fence getting it cos i have said i get a reaction even to novacaine.In no way am i against it.If it carries NO blood products and JW.org hasnt spoke out against it we are told to support the authorities.
Im still treating myself to natural products to help a strong immune system but again NOT against the vaccine.
I just wanna alert you to this fool who buries herself and with the crap that comes out of her mouth and dont wanna see her mislead any of you.
Again she brags about virus have 99% recovery rate...but a few die from vaccine and the fool is leading the parade and of course i am referring to Blountrygirl!!!
While 100,000s have died with a 99% recovery rate......and a few have died getting vaccine that U wonder if even vax caused it.

Since I am retired I don't have the problems many people have. I feel for you and the many who lose jobs and find themselves lost in the daily working world. Life is so much more stressful for those who are in your position than mine. So sorry! :(
-
My life is not on hold just had to make some adjustments because of the virus but I'm happy, grateful and content because it could always be worse.
-
I've kinda abandoned it and started to live my life.
-
I don't go around people much since the virus is around. I get my hair fixed in the early morning once a week and the hair dresser and I both have our mask on. I order from Walmart online and go pick my items up and they put my order in my trunk of my car.

BUT..... the items were touched by the person who stocked the shelves, random shoppers who pick up and set back down items, the person who picked your order, the person who brings it to your car...
If you want to use the online shopping that is fine but people don't think about all this other stuff. I guess having less shoppers in the store are good for the rest of us who continue to live. I would not know what that is like though because in store shopping never slowed down in my area. Through out this whole thing our local Walmart, Lowes, the grocery stores - all have been super crowded all the time. Our Walmart had a record breaking year last year. But when you get unemployment at $1000 a week I guess that is to be expected. Hilarious is all these people now are owing huge tax bills when they file their taxes because they seem to think this was just free money. ::)

I definitely feel like life is on hold due to COVID. The most visible example is that we have suspended all travel, both domestic and international, as COVID continues. I so look forward to the day where I could travel with my family again.
-
This pandemic has taken away all my freedom. Didn't think I would miss it because of a virus that could have been prevented. You can't visit, or someone to visit me. Stress level is getting up there.

Yes, absolutely correct. My husband has said this since the very beginning. And the more people that "fall in line", the worse it is going to be.
-
I try to stay busy. Working on my arts and craft and DIY's. I do this to not stress as much.
-
No, I don't feel like my life is on hold. I see many opportunities in learning new trades. I've also been blessed with steady employment and was recently offered a job! :)

I'd take it as an opportunity to plan a more lengthy trip once things reopen. 8)
