Capitalism - that the poor are fucked and fucked over by everything and this is another clear example of it
Socialism - that we need to fund our public services better - and that apparently we magically do have that money to do so when we need it... but too late. We already knew this but now the stark reality is glaring us in the face
Boris Johnson - no change. He was a moron. He's not a recovered COVID patient moron that makes the public apparently warm to him more.
Donald Trump - I am always astonished that with every new crisis he gets even worse than the last. He is mental. This is no change.
The EU - no change. I still want to be part of them and I want to be like Germany with the higher levels of testing
China - I guess I didn't have a strong opinion about them before and now I have slight concerns about their reporting and honesty.
Plane travel and mass tourism - Um... unpopular opinion. This has made me want to get on more planes ASAP.
The environment - the facts that have come out about decreased pollution have been pretty shocking. But I still think even if this pandemic lasted 50 years, it's probably too late for certain parts of the world to reduce emissions enough
Your primary mode of transport - I miss it more than I ever thought I would (the tube). I hope that when this is all over the numbers on it will permanently reduce by 10-20% though as I think it's totally possible and would help everyone out greatly.
Working from home - I despise it. It's made me realise just how terrible I am at self-motivation (I should be working right now!). But I think it's probably a massively positive thing that some people should stay doing after this is over.
Unemployment - I mean my opinion hasn't changed... it's shit. But I'm more aware of it because many members of my family are in potentially job-losing situations now.
Your family - The biggest change. I used to dread family meet-ups but we've now missed a few birthdays and I miss my family terribly. My dad now signs off phone calls with 'I love you' - something he has NEVER done in 37 years and that has been a very weird feeling for me.
Your romantic relationships - I've been single for a while now and I'd actually been in a place where I felt completely comfortable with it, but this has made me feel incredibly lonely - I've not seen anyone except shop assistants and delivery drivers for 5 weeks and counting tomorrow (luckily I'm going into school tomorrow so that breaks that drought, but I can't wait). In terms of romantic relationships, it's oddly opened me up to talking to people MUCH further afield... I've been 'online dating' a guy that is 5000 miles away in Texas for the last few weeks and it's really lovely - I mean likelihood of it going anywhere I guess is close to zero, but at this current stage it doesn't matter if he's 5 miles away or 5000 miles away!
Going out (bars, clubs, resturants) - I wish I'd done it more in the months preceding this! I miss this a lot too!
Sex - I MISS THIS A LOT. I now want to have sex all the fricking time.
The internet - I mean it's proven itself to be super handy and lovely for seeing friends and family still, but I also kinda resent it because I'm so tired of looking at a screen all the time.
Gays - No change at alll..?!
Your body - Oddly I've been a bit more aware of it and trying to do some exercises to improve it which I didn't before.
