what did we learn from covid?

[egal]

what is / are your personal lessons from covid?

 

 

[Jellapho]

If life still goes on as per usual when things are much simpler during covid, why are we still overcomplicating our lives after covid?

 

All these complexities are man-caused, and not because of the environment.

 

It is always easy to make things complicated, the hardest part is to make things simple.

 

I guess this is what thing we have not learnt from the pandemic and never will.

   

[fun72]

if u look at the virus type SARS-CoV-2, it is the 3rd wave of SARS viruses family. and it finally cover whole world.

 

People never learn, esp China Chinese.

I know some people still don’t know how to cover their mouths when they cough, that’s for sure

Even ugly ppl can look good with mask 😷 Jokes aside, be considerate to others by avoiding crowded areas and wearing mask if not feeling well.

So true! Once saw what I thought was a fine specimen of health and fitness. Unless the unmasking showed a severe underbite, which was a shock.

a bad policy like lockdown could lead the society into trouble. the consequences are tremendous. the lesson learnt is as tiny nation shouldn't anyhow follow the big country's protocol

That hygiene is always a top priority

Most companies realised that people can just work from home and save on  their toilet paper…

I fully agree with this. Everytime the person cough on MRT, I will turn and stare at them. If foreigners - then fine, maybe they came to Singapore after COVID-19 (think 2 years contracts), but for those that were 30s / working adults, really no excuse.
I'm not even referring to aunties / uncles / old people, but can we as mature adults act as if we were in Singapore as an adult during COVID-19?

 

Thanks OP for starting this topic.

Absolutely agreed.
 

Many Singaporean have not learned from (SARS to) COVID, once I was in a Q at a food centre, a man of his late 40s was behind me in the Q, he was standing so close that I could feel his breathing, I turned around to signal him to keep a distance, he ignored.

 

Then out a sudden he sneezed and I could feel some droplets landed on the back of my neck, I told him that he should keep a distance and covers his mouth, he raised his voice and said that the Covid is over and authorities have never require people to cover their mouth for coughing and sneezing. 
 

on social manners in public, our fellow citizens are quick to criticise foreigners for their bad behaviours, frankly speaking many of locals are equally uncivil.

something similar that i saw was a customer coughing close to those exposed chilli sauce.  really gross and unhygienic.

 

they think covid is gone for good 

[IcarusCQC]

I learnt that we learnt nothing and the collective amnesia is real.

[egal]

we learnt that some meetings are possible to be done online

I still wear mask when out and about...no time to tell others that they should sneeze or cough into your face

[ziurtis]

While it's good to save for a rainy day, should also stop procrastinating over gatherings, vacations, purchases as there will never be a better time to do it until you may not have the chance to do so. And also to appreciate the mundane stuff in life, like the freedom to go out for meals.

Hygiene standards are actually pretty abysmal here. And I think it’s wild that someone would say the “authorities don’t require covering mouths” instead of using common sense.
 

I often joke with friends that Covid clearly didn’t do a good enough job in eliminating the stupids.

do yall travel more after covid
