    A lot of negative opinions on the tweet author here but there’s one thing I’d like to note. My own experience during the pandemic was much worse than my average life, it was depressing to keep staying home at all time, I got infected, didn’t get a proper medical attention for non-covid related stuff, etc. But after time passes the negatives look smoother and the positives get brighter, like that there were no useless meetings, much less pressure for doing stuff, and so on.

    Also, I’m not sure that the author meant it to be ‘pandemic isolation was great’, more like ‘it has shown us that there are things to be done at home’. Although for medical and essential workers it rather was time when they barely got home at all, but if we get to spend more time at home without the pandemic, then they will not be overburdened, I guess.

      A lot of commutes going from an hour+ to the 45 seconds it takes to walk into the next room also opened up more time for your own activities
