We will all have unlearning and learning to do. Will the handshake ever be a thing again? Will we ever go outside without at least bringing a facemask? Will we ever touch door handles again? Oldies like me will be constantly telling the young ones, "I remember back when..." Nice write, Line.

Distancing is THE most important rule of the Covid Era - the beaches worldwide over the last week don't seem to have never heard this rule - one youngster said - Covid, whats that, please you think I'm afraid, to a reporter. Blessings Line - Your view is the only view. Blessings, Jennifer.

Scary times ~ too many delusional people who don't see the risk of being carriers.

I think most of us will not violate your rights here, Line and how many could ever be the same? You have hit Covid19 on the nose with truth.

It is surprising to come across the few delusional people who seem to believe things will soon be back to the old normal ~ not till the vaccine and even then ~
