I always had a short haircut and the stylist came home to give me that hair cut. During the pandemic I did not want anyof them to come over. I let my hair grow. My hair now is shoulder length and I intend keeping it that way. Standkng in a queue to get fish and meet is what I avoided for the maid as while she wore a mask those around did not. Meat and fish was not bought in those days and you know how long the pandemic lasted. I am now used to a diet that has no fish and meat What is your story

Same as you, my hairstyle has also been changed due to the Pandemic. I used to have a short haircut. My hair is now longer.

I think it is always better to keep alert. As to me, I will keep enough food and other supplies at home after the pandemic. Although I didn't experience the shortage during the pandemic, but I wanted to be careful rather than sorry.

I am aware of how and what the current pandemic has altered in our daily lives. Seeing the outside world after being cooped up in my unit for months was a novel experience for everyone. The fear of being in front of big crowds has been very strong after the initial days when the lockdowns were lifted, and for some reason, I had to adjust before I was accustomed to seeing crowds again.

@allknowing True, during the lockdowns, we avoided seeing family and friends for quite some time. My wife and son were the only people I engaged with.

That is true. I too feel the same. We had a group of 13 extended family visiting and I said no hugging

I think we've pretty much gone back to the way we were before. The main difference I think is that we are now more understanding if we see a person wearing a mask in public. Previously we would have thought they were some sort of paranoid weirdo.

Why would anyone wear a mask unless they had a good reason?

Though Covid months were a time of horrible experience but they also made us aware of facts of life we were not before. That your diet has turned vegetarian because of Covid is something positive.
