COVID Lockdown Stories

[Dave Darling]

It has been such a wild ride with the virus, I have been doing some reminiscing now that it is almost over! If you have any interesting stories about the COVID-19 lockdown post them here!

Maybe in 10 years they will have a special on the History channel about the great COVID pandemic of 2020! I can remember all of the crazy stuff on the news at first, saying things will never be normal again, America would be destroyed, and our economy would be destroyed as well. I was hoarding emergency food rations in case something happened to the food supply! The shelves were bare at the grocery stores. We were on severe lockdown for about 4 months, I can remember being at church with only 5 other people, there was a gathering ban so we could not meet as usual. I can remember that many people were afraid, you could feel it in the air. Now a year later they are saying we can soon get back to normal, we made it!

The losses were tragic but I enjoyed social distancing. One day last march I discovered tint flowers growing in the grass. What an awakening to nature that turned out to be. I have a botanist within me.

It has been kind of biblical for me. The world imitating my life, which was weird. I have been in lockdown of sorts for 10 years, and suddenly the entire world does the same. Kind of played a part in me waking up, and ending my personal lockdown. Weird enough if 2 or 3 people started copying me, but when 9 billion people do it, then I had better change, that is too weird. Could write a pretty good screenplay about it.I though you people would get back to normal, but never did, so I had to. And my faith was fortified on solid foundation during it too. I moved, got peace. Clean up stuff in my life now. Lot's of bad stuff, but it does not get me down. Content for the first time in my life, without antidepressants. So it has been good for me. Made me free. Made me read the bible. Made me able to watch a movie from start to finish again, not been able to do that since 2013 or thereabouts. And I had a toothache in many teeth 6 months ago, now it is gone.
