When this virus got serious outside of China and cases started rising in Europe, myself and my partner and also my family, we were all too happy to keep life low key. Me and my partner are cancelling our summer holidays abroad and we are both happy with that decision. My partners birthday was at the end of March and we didn't feel the need to go out and celebrate his birthday or do anything for the birthday. My birthday is in the autumn and the same will happen again. I am happy to let the day pass.
Basically, the highlight of our summers or maybe even the year will be a walk along the local prom with a takeaway bag of fish and chips.
I don't feel hard done by with the virus changing the way I live. I am also happy and comfortable with keeping life low key. My partner and also my family are the same.
Why is it, I see other people who feel hard done by and who wishes to run out into the face of this virus and disease. I know a couple who's continuing on with their holiday plans abroad. Not only that there are some birthdays coming up for them this year. No big significant ages or birthdays. Other years 1 party was never enough for them. They would plan dinner parties, party/holiday abroad, followed by a real party in a hotel function room or party venue too. Basically 1 party was never enough for them. The couple is now itching to go back to the way life was and no doubt they will add on multiple parties this summer too, along with their holiday abroad. I feel kinda upset at this. They have a beautiful child who would be vulnerable to this virus, and I feel they don't have her best interests at heart and protect her and the family from the virus. Keeping things low key for them will be like a foreign language for them.
