One has to remember, there are many upsides to self-isolation if you happen to contract the COVID-19 virus ....
1. You get to talk to yourself a lot. That's probably much better than listening to BS from mates down at the pub.
2. You get all those "important jobs", you've been "meaning to do", done at last. Procrastination is a distant memory.
3. You save thousands on fuel, and wear and tear on your vehicle, by not driving around every day.
4. No Mormons or JW's will ever bother you again - particularly if you put a warning notice on the front door, that you're in quarantine.
5. Because the airlines have reduced flying to 10% of their normal schedules, the reduction in pollution is enormous, and the Greenhouse Effect is being reversed, right as we speak.
6. You have an entirely new level of appreciation for
toilet paper, and its value - and for the work that went into making it, and for the people who have slaved to manufacture it, and deliver it to you.
7. You have learnt how to
cook a hundred new
recipes, to deal with your massive stockpile of food supplies.
8. You have learnt a whole new range of skills in storage, racking, and packing, to enable you to fit in the 3 new freezers and fridges you bought, to store all your new level of food supplies - and to fit those food supplies into all your freezers and fridges.
9. You have reached a new high in medical and health knowledge, thanks to the internet, friends and news media - and you can now speak to doctors at their level, and correctly pronounce drug words such as Idarucizumab.
However, there are downsides to the self-isolation regime ....
1. There are only so many cat videos one can watch, before terminal boredom sets in, and you know exactly what the cat is going to do, before it does it.
2. After watching 6 re-runs of "Three Days of the Condor", you are becoming immune to suspenseful situations.
3. After watching 16 movies similar to "Three Days of the Condor", you are starting to become paranoiac, and finding you can no longer trust anyone. You start to look for conspiracy sites on the internet - and believe everything they say.
4. All your food is starting to taste the same, despite trying all the new
recipes you learnt. You're hanging out for that mouth-watering pasta the local Italian cafe made - but they've shut down for the duration.
5. Your travel and flight plans for the year have just filled your wastebasket.
Cheers, Ron.
