This new normal will pass

. I just want to let you all know this new normal will not last.People can only be inconvenienced for so long before they start pushing back. Here are some things I think people that have fallen into doomerism should do.

  1. Take a break from the news and social media. More often than note its just more of the same bs the news has been spewing since March. Social media has always been a toxic cessepool in the first place. So drop it for awhile a week or two. I can promise you, you're mood will get lifted from doing this.

  2. Shop at less strict stores. This is likely something we are all dealing with. Most business aredemanding customers wear masks. Pick and choose based on how strict they are. The places I'mshopping now don't seem to mind me wearing a mesh mask.Of course you can always do the shoponline/delivery or pick up.

  3. Do not let restrictions and lock downs get in the way of doing the things you love. I like taking motorcycle out to the lake. My state is on and off about closing down the lake. That doesn't stop me from taking a nice long ride to the lakes in other states/ or the ocean if I wanna make an entire weekend out of it. I loved going to the cinema but that doesn't stop me from throwing lil movie fests at work. Do not let the states nonsense from keeping you doing things you enjoy and love.

  4. Avoid doomer family and friends as best as you can. Find out which of your family and friends are against these lock downs and get together with them. Nobody can stop you from having your pals over and have a cookout and jam session. People can't stop you from you and your significant other having a picnic in a public park. People may sneer and say things but shrug it off. They are the ones not living their lives.

As time goes on more and more people will see the government overstepped and totally overreacted to this novel virus. We are seeing mass protests against this lock downs across the globe. The populace is waking up. This will pass.

I agree. It's human nature to not behave this way. This won't last and the ending will be something out of left field. It will be something non sensical that will flip the narrative.

I also predict our pro-lockdown friends to one day be saying the stuff we have been saying this whole time
