A Blast from the Not-So-Distant Past

Remember COVID? Even as life goes on, many people are still suffering from Long COVID -- which can be hell -- or experiencing it all over again. I hope if you are getting it again your vaccines and/or prior bout(s) are making this time less disruptive and awful.

When we were in the thick of it, the whole world changed... and we demonstrated one amazing aspect of being human. Resilience!

Here's my post from February 16, 2021. It seems a lifetime ago...

"Quarantine to protect you and your loved ones from COVID-19 is a fact of life for many of us. For those with underlying medical conditions it could be a factor for a long time even as most of society opens up.

"If you're quarantined with family, ease the isolation by having meals together at least once or twice a week. If you're kept away from family, use social media and on-line chat sites like Zoom to connect, or game sites like pogo.com to enter game rooms with friends.

"Take walks and talk to people you meet from a safe distance of 6 feet or more. Many events and celebrations involve drive-through get-togethers or gatherings in parks – at that safe distance.

"Humans are social animals, and finding a way to stay social can prevent or ease depression."
