What will you miss about Covid?

[Joey Shabadoo]

1) Trousers being optional.
2) Covid being an excuse for absolutely anything you want it to be.
3) Graphs

 

[Dirk]

Absolutely nothing.
The sooner all this crap is over, the better.

 

[DCLane]

I've enjoyed having more time at home with family.

Nothing else

My work's classed me as 'vulnerable' so I'm working from home, no club rides or racing, I've worked almost non-stop since March re-designing everything online for my teaching, SWMBO's in a Covid ward with live Covid patients and is on only the second short period of leave since March and has been working evenings/weekends doing research to find more effective ways of treating Covid patients so they don't die and co-ordination amongst international professionals, 2nd son missed his GCSE exams and couldn't train or race, 1st son had his second year at university cut short and is stuck in his student house, M-i-L is in a specialist care home and currently can't be visited, can't travel to visit F-i-L or parents, couldn't have a decent holiday. Will that do for the negatives?

And a Daily Mail journalist has the audacity to think she's been sat doing nothing, and then describes her as a 'dinner lady': https://www.bda.uk.com/resource/bda-hits-back-as-daily-mail-brands-dietitians-non-essential.html I hope she gets him as her patient, with tubes in each orifice, and then he'll see what they do

 

[Dave7]

Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Its a real b*stard. Me and MrsD have had the worst 6 months of our lives health wise.
I don't swear much but its brought out the worst in me and the sooner it p*sses off the better.
Have I covered everything

 

[PaulSB]

Nothing. This awful virus has taken away everything bar cycling which I planned to enjoy in retirement.

I've seen the devastating impact on one or two people which saddens me deeply.

 

[PeteXXX]

Appreciating that others have problems, serious or less so, and not belittling that, the roads are much quiter during lockdowns, making my driving job much easier.

 

[Pale Rider]

I will miss the quieter roads.

 

[Ripple]

A28 being free of cars.

 

[winjim]

Being able to wear a mask.
People keeping their distance.
Nobody rushing me in the shops.
Lovely quiet roads.

Admittedly the last three of those only seemed to apply Apr-Jun but it was great while it lasted. Socially distanced community spirit in the sun. But the uniform - mask, shades, hoodie, is great. I get to hide myself away and nobody thinks I'm being weird or a bank robber.

But yeah, generally people leaving me alone and staying out of my farking way.

 

[roubaixtuesday]

About the same number of things I miss from having previously suffered chronic epididymitis.

 

[Pale Rider]

I will also miss the sense of community and togetherness of Lockdown1, although that is less evident in Lockdown2.

 

[keithmac]

Next to no traffic on my ride to work and back..

 

[ianrauk]

Next to no traffic on my ride to work and back..

This....

...and people not wearing masks

 

[cyberknight]

Feck all .

 

[BrumJim]

People in shops and restaurants not being able to see my face. After the COVID vaccine I will have to endure shop assistants snearing at me again as they serve more attractive patrons first.
