Toward a bright future? ( Archived) (22)

Sweden is removing Covid restriction as of the 29th of September. For me it means I’m going back to my office on the 4th of October.

On one side, I’m looking toward it. I’ve been working from home since the end of March 2020. It felt convenient at first: you could get up at 7:55 and be at your desk at 8:00 while still in pajamas. A lot of time and money saved on traveling to and fro. Making yourself presentable became a remnant of a distant past surprisingly fast, as no one sees on Zoom whether you wear make-up, jewelry or – oh please! – perfume. Or ever pants. As long as you keep a serious mien.

On the other side, the novelty of working from home wore out rather quickly and turned into feeling of living at work and eventually being imprisoned and chained to your desk. Hence, I do look forward returning my physical self to the work place.

On the third hand, the pandemic isn’t over. While ca 70 % of Swedish residents, born in the North, is vaccinated, only 44 % of Swedish residents, born outside the North, bothered so far to. Meaning: it is still here. And while the data shows that the vaccine is a good protection against sever consequences or Covid, it doesn’t make you immune from getting it.

Nonetheless, in a week I’m on.

How are things in your place?

Well... I'm double vaccinated and if it'd be advised to get the third jab, I'll do it. Can't do more, than that, besides keeping a distance and washing hands.

Nonetheless, I feel like taking my chances. Don't want to sit at home for ever, while my life flies by.

We managed without lock-downs and I do want to return to pre-pandemic life style. Missed so much Opera and swimming pool and not being scared by presence of a few people in the same room.

Cautiously and on tip-toes, but forward to the normal :)

Scott Morrison who is my Prime Minister is only in charge of the vaccine roll out which he stuffed up from the start...Premiers from each state fight with him to get what they need for their states..What we have is Premiers of most states pissing on my state crying because we received more help with vaccines because my state is bloody infected with over a 1,000 infections per days and deaths every day

I forgot to mention that soap is to be used not bloody sanitiser

Though vaccination running in it's full capacity possible , still we are living under alarming situation here in India ...

As , festival season is coming from October and from experience we know how impossible it could be to maintain Covid rules and restrictions among public during this time ...
Only hope is that , if our judiciary will take strict actions like last year...

If we manage to pass through this almost two month long festival season safely , may be then only we Would be able to say that we were able to avoid Third Wave ...
