How has Covid changed your life or has it?
« on: August 28, 2020, 08:40:32 PM »
This has been the craziest year of my life.  I never dreamed I'd see something rip Spring away from me and change how I do things.  I have a wife that is very high risk.  I know, she's not just high risk to Covid, but to everything, but Covid is different...  I'm more scared of it on how new it is more than anything.  I have too many friends in the medical field and most of them say, just be cautious and careful. 

I'm worried this fall will be worse, but I also do not trust everything being said about it.  I did just read, that we have our first confirmed patient in the US that has had it twice now.  That was my biggest fear from the beginning  *fall*

I'm not sure I'd take the vaccine when it is released, but I also do not think I want the darn virus either.  I still remember reading the paper when they first talked about it in China.  I sure do not trust them on any of their data.  We wouldn't even know about it if not for the whistle blowers.

But one thing the darn virus did do, it got me spending more time in the outdoors.  Picked up fishing again and I hadn't been obsessed with that for 15+ years.  Bow season is about to start and then fall turkey season... looking forward to chasing some turkeys around for sure!

I lost my job.  Was laid off due to the CHINA virus.  Now, no chance of being recalled.

I retired in April of 2020 but the last 6 weeks before I retired, I worked from home which was different. Now many companies are rethinking how the work place in the future will look like as working from home has been very productive if not more than working in the office.

COVID did impact my spring season as I was suppose to hunt with several different people but that got cancelled due to the virus. However, the virus impacted my woods as I never saw the woods more crowded not only with hunters but hikers and bird watchers. This fall could be a repeat of the same I’m afraid.

Stay safe everyone!

Bob, I hunted some WMA areas in PA.  I thought these signs were hilarious.



Also got to hunt with some "famous" turkey hunters while in PA.

I had it but I’m part of the lucky 99.6% group that survive. I did have a headache and a bit of nasal congestion, so I guess it was nessasary to shut down the entire nation.

I can't say that I actually know anyone that has had it.  I know lots of friends of friends that say they have had it.

I tested positive. But symptoms never showed up.
