Me too. I just think that I am done with the gym.
Honestly this is a huge loss. My yoga class was my, my, LIFE.
Off to cry.

I suspect the world will never learn the whole truth about Russia and covid. Or China and covid. Or North Korea and covid. Or the US and covid, for that matter.Russia is having a huge number of cases but low number of deaths. Russians must be very resilient. Kind of like Floridians.
Holy cow, That sounds more like a line from a sitcom. And not a good one lol.
My parents are in their 80s and their attitude is nowhere near that statement. They have iPads, smartphones, Alexa, and can deposit checks on their cell phone. They are mentally sharp but have physical issues.
Their lament is not seeing all of their family but understand shielding protects them.

Respectively, another view.
"Covid isn't the only thing in the world" - I totally agree! Since Covid isn't the only thing in the world is the very reason so many rational, logical folks choose to isolate and take every precaution they can in their own situation so they can enjoy the world once this threat has passed. There is so much life out there! I for one, choose to alter my lifestyle temporarily to protect my life, my friends and my precious family's. I want to enjoy all the big things; graduations, celebrations, marriages, births, holidays. I want to enjoy the little things that bring me joy - going to the theatre for live performances, live music venues, casual dining out with family and friends, all the spring through summer fairs and festivals, the beach, the mountains, a leisure day shopping and dining out with friends. I miss that!
"the kids that are losing a summer - times that are supposed to be the best of their lives" - depends totally on the parents. I know one of my daughters lives in one of the worst hit counties in VA has made the most amazing memories with her family during this time. They have found beautiful parks that have few people and have discovered our nation's beauty so close to home that they had not explored until this year although having lived in the area for past 10 years. They were too busy traveling internationally and discovering the world and had no idea what was within driving distance of their home. The pictures they share and the stories the grandkids have to tell me every single weekend of their discoveries is so uplifting and pride just takes over my heart to see how they have thrived during this time.
"exhibiting signs of harm to their mental health" - anxiety over the unknown is not necessarily an unhealthy symptom. Anxiety can make us face reality and take necessary precautions. Anxiety is a normal and often healthy emotion.
Life is full of changes, depends on how we handle those changes as to the quality of life we live.

I learned something very interesting recently in a psychology training course that I had to take for work, that, from a psychological standpoint, during a crisis, what is typically seen rather than panic is denial. Jmo.
I have missed some threads and am trying to catch up so forgive me if this has been asked and answered:
Are there any seniors here who have had the virus and recovered? Will you share your experiences on this thread? Or does anyone personally know someone over 65 who suffered through the virus and recovered? I would like to know duration of sickness, how sick compared to cold and flu, symptoms, lingering symptoms, etc.
Thanks so much if you are willing to share.
If he'd not gone hog wild opening everything up basically overnight 6 weeks ago it'd probably have helped avoid this...
