The COVID-19 pandemic

If someone told me that I would never again eat in a restaurant, I’d be fine with it.  I haven’t even ordered takeout since I locked down in mid-March.  In terms of the economy, I’m part of the problem, I guess, but I’ve developed a whole new (and improved) relationship with food, including veggies I’ve grown myself.  Unfortunately, I’ve also discovered baking, which has been good for three or four extra kilos ...

I’ve been out quite a few times since things re-opened. I’m really just trying to do my part I helping the economy survive. Also partly because I want to. Been to the theatre 3 times (Jaws, Tenet and Unhinged) with my kid. Basically the theatres have been empty though. Restaurants aren’t real busy — I mean, all the available seating is being used, but it is very limited (1/3 to 1/2).

Really, we do need all these places to survive though, otherwise, it’ll drag down the rest of the economy.
