Attuned with the pandemia.

A facebook friend sent me a message - 'You are the only one I know attuned with the pandemia.'
Oh well, that friend is a wanderlust who loves the crowd, and she's getting claustrophobic with the pandemic shelter-in-place.
Yup, I told her, and I hope that when the pandemia is over, the social distancing remains.
Who would you agree with, my friend of me?

The CoViD-19 is a mysterious disease. It has lethal effect on many and yet, for others, it has no consequence. That is why we must remain on our guard.
I agree with you.

I am sort of a mixture. I enjoy being surrounded by people such as malls, squares etc, however every bow and then I love a moment of solitude as well!

The malls are better now. To my delight. The noisy teens and screaming, squeaking children are nowhere. Nope, I don't miss them yet. Am enjoying my quiet trips to the grocery and the bakery without avoiding a youth to bump me. Ha ha
But of course I don't take it against the juvenile to be young and full of energy. That's how they are supposed to be. That is why I once detest entering malls.
Good you enjoy being with people. You are a people person. And that moment of solitude, that is your ace, because you know when to keep quiet and meditate.

@jvicentevalera That is correct, graces come in solitude.
Walk into the quiet untrodden places, you might even hear the angels...

@eileenleyva I guess in a few years ahead I'd think like you who knows? I would be more like being in quiet places that aren't overcrowded.

My situation is a bit strange. My daughter is a doctor and she comes home on a weekly basis. I guess that I could have been exposed, too, already. But I am all right.

I agree with you. The distance is so important.
You are from Vietnam? How is your country's situation now? Mine, the Philippines, we must be on the side of caution, strictly. The numbers are soaring.

@lminhchi Good the government implemented the necessary measures. That should have been the case for us. The leadership of my country is a fail. And the corrupt are taking advantage of the situation. Grrrr. Even the little monetary help that was due me never came. Hu Hu
Sorry for the rant. Vietnam is admirable.

We can sail through this bleak condition together only by maintaining social distancing norms. So, I firmly disagree with your friend.

My facebook friend felt squashed by the pandemic repression measure. She was an extrovert that not a day went by without an adventure. She was always up to something. The pandemia almost caused her sanity, I think. Just glad she was able to overcome.

Your friend is 'a wanderlust'? I'm sorry, but this is not possible. 'Wanderlust' is a German word that has entered the English language. It means "a strong, innate desire to rove or travel about".

I think even after this pandemic we still need to follow social distancing and the mask culture

I like that. The masks keeps the lipsticks away. I don't like seeing people with gaudy lip colors appearing much like Joker. And the distance would be nice because I am prone to getting bumped every time.
