Covid +3: Three Years of Covid, and Remembering The "Before Times"

Published: March 22, 2023, 7 p.m.

b"It's been three years since the United States first locked down as a result of the Covid pandemic, and GamerDude talks about how Covid is one of those generational events, like December 7, 1941 and September 11, 2001, where things changed forever after the event. He remembers what he was reading, and thinking, and doing leading up to the lockdown, and he talks about the simple things he and Mrs. GamerDude used to do before Covid, like going out to eat, or going out to see a movie. He also talks about how travel has changed, and how he's not sure if - or when - he'll be ready to fly again. He talks about how society, in the past three years, has been a bit of a mish-mash of people treating Covid differently, from those who take it seriously, to those who ignore it. He also talks about how it changed how he worked, how it took away the best part of his job, and how it eventually led to his decision to take early retirement."
