What will you miss about Covid?

[johnblack]

I will miss the knowledge that has been shared by the forums world class epidemiologist and virologist. Who knew that CC was populated by so many and that the information they shared would always be balanced, non-partisan and apolitical. Yeah I'm going to miss that.

I'll miss not having the commute. Although on the up side, I'll be able to work from home more. Even if it's just a Friday - that will be a positive as management were dead against home working - now the whole Department of around 100 are working from home.

Fingers crossed people might be a bit cleaner ! I'm in such a routine now when shopping with hand sanitiser. Always carry some with me, even on the bike now (I had to fix someone's bike in Lockdown 1 whilst I was on the road).

Maybe my son and wife will find a job once this goes.

Look at those bars..

And biceps!!

I'd want him on my arm wrestling team.

OK Scunny is going to be at the start of my next 'Northern Tour' just to defy the haters..

There's bound to be a train there.

And a route out..

Those bars were straight about 12 seconds before the picture. The photographer asked him to move back so he could fit the handlebars into the frame - he didn't want to move back, so fixed it a different way

Some (including adults) use the term Silver Lining. You should try using it, it can be quite cheery.

If you don't do cheery, more fool you. It's Friday, I've no time for Eeyores.

I'm doing cheery. Off out for a bike ride in the sun.

Keep smiling

You live in Bolton?

A fair point, although North and west of the town there's some nice areas.

Whilst Bolton's the closest town centre to me I pay my council tax to Salford.

Oooooh; get you Mr Oozing Positivity .
I've got no time for people sticking their heads in the sand and pretending it's not raining in the middle of a downpour. Please see my avatar!

Absolutely f*** all. Have spent the last 9 months and many more to come, working with the stress of it all in the NHS, unable to see friends and family as much as I want, unable to travel where I wanted to, basically the whole lot.

Cycling has basically got me through it, so far

Keep your rain to yourself!

Absolutely, I could not agree more. I don't know where I would be without my bike and my cycling buddies.

In the depths of depression probably. I ran out of things to do 3-4 weeks ago, without cycling it would have been months earlier.

1. People giving me space

2. Having clean hands and nails 😁

3. Donald Trumps advisors squirming when he talks about Covid.

 

[matticus]

Trump nearly bleaching himself to clean out his Covid. Sooo close ...

Is it possible that some of the 40 people out of the 70 who didn't attend A&E should have?
Are you saying that on average more than 50% of people attending A&E are wasting your precious time?

'Wasting' may be the wrong wording, but they could be treated elsewhere? (Chemist/walk-in centre/GP)

Granted, this is an extreme example, but others like @MarkF could also supply anecdotes

Equally, I'm not sure where you are, but some of our local Ambos (Yorkshire Ambulance Service) carry posters that carry a wrap stating (maybe better wording)
'You Don't Call The CoastGuard, When You Slip In A Puddle
Think Before You Call An Ambulance'

I've been in A&E when that has been done. She'd cut one nail too short, it hurt, so she went to A&E, because she was going out that night.

I may also miss quite a bit of my savings - the whole house needs decorating and new carpets, but I can't get anyone in at the moment to sort this out. Once things open up, I'm going to have to spend a load of money...
