As a near-hermit with no family, the effect of Covid-19 on me has been minimal. I'm perfectly happy to be shut away. Now leave me alone.

It’s had little impact on my life, just a few minor inconveniences and irritations.
Life outdoors continues as normal, at least here in Wales.
| | | |
As living in France, it is an economic disaster.
Almost every enterprise has been impacted financially.
And the death toll is pretty bad too.
About myself, no major health issue, but I lost a large part of my business opportunities

Wearing masks has been unpleasant. No more wine tastings until the epidemic passes. Free-time excursions are time-restricted due to limited access to restaurants (many are take-out only), or necessitate packing a meal which has to be consumed either al fresco (good weather only) or eaten in the car. International travel is limited for residents of the United States. Canadians have compared themselves to living above a meth lab, so we're not welcome there.

Fortunately I have strong anti-virus protection on my computer, so that's one less worry – for now. ▲ Collapse

| Significant impact | Oct 16, 2020 |
I live in Melbourne Australia and the city is setting the world record of its longest lockdown...The second lockdown has continued 12 weeks and still ongoing...we have to stay within 5km diameter of your house and the schools just started but I helped my kids home learning for 2 months....That was hectic and did not help me to do my work. I had much less work though.

| At first it hit me, than I adapted to it | Oct 16, 2020 |
Workwise, it's been very well except for the first 2-3 weeks of the lockdown.
My clients have adapted quickly to the new situation and I have adapted as well.
After all, working from a home office for a while is hardly something new for a freelancer.
I have also invested in CPD (2 online conferences, lots of Zoom-meetings), but most importantly I have also invested in How-to-survive-the-crisis and resilience workshops.
I do miss in-person events though.

I do miss in-person events though.
And I miss travelling and spending time with my family and friends who live in my country of origin and in other countries (on other continents).
IMO it's important to find joy in little, everyday things, to do a random act of kindness once in a while and to remain positive, because this too shall pass.
Happy translating and have a great weekend!
Ivana
P.S: Don't forget to laugh, it's healthy!
I saw a great postcard the other day:
Please reset 2020, it has a virus ▲ Collapse

I had to bury my dream as a top chef because the pandemic hit the tourism industry the hardest. But I was about to quit anyway due to burnout. I'm sorry Chef Ramsey, please don't r/RoastMe.
I do wish convenient stores are still open 24 hours, though.

I have been working from home for over two years so that didn't affect me as much in terms of the isolation. My family and I have been very diligent regarding our self-imposed quarantine. Here in Rio the people do not respect the social distance norms and the government couldn't care less. Thankfully the only person in my family that contracted the virus have been treated and it is now at home. Hoping this all goes away as soon as possible.

Thanks for sharing your stories, the impact maybe good to you or not, it is still super important to keep up and stay going. Me, I just make sure to prioritize my health and the health of my family. From Food to workouts, what food do you usually prepare on your table that is rich in vitamins and minerals?

One week ago it entered in my family, so at the moment I am not sure about nothing.
No hospitalizations but... well we shall see.

You will see! It won't be nothing serious!
I also had one close family member infected, and she is doing well now.
We can't see each other or be together, because she is a nurse. It's a bit hard, but we know this "monster" will simply fade away in the same way it came.
Stay strong! Think positive!
Coraggio, right
