Personal experiences due to the Corona period - good ones and bad ones

Since I feel the thread

Coronavirus Pandemic: Apocalypse Now! Or exaggerated scare story?​

Contains meanwhile a mixture of statements I thought it might be a good idea to create one with this topic.

I can start a little bit with some of my own experiences.

In a way my life has become calmer due to the restrictions. At the beginning of course I was very upset and it was very hard not to sit in a coffeehouse or go to a bath or sauna, not go out for shopping or even drive to another city. I learned to accept that and meanwhile I feel very comfortable with that situation. There are so few things you really need! And it helped me also focusing more on my inner side by joining the Public EE-Sessions here. Following the very well known sentence “The only way out is the way in!”

I still can move around with my car and 25 km away I am meanwhile connected to a network of heartwarming people.

Also it brought me nearer to my younger brother. We share the same opinion about what is going on now – his point of view comes from Rudolf Steiners teaching. He told me he said to one of his friends: “Well, I never talked to my sister for ¾ of an hour on the phone before!” He does not speak much (besides when we go out for a walk!) so that is really new! He has a sauna in his house and I can go there which means a 60 km drive, but that’s how things are. And so we get in closer contact than before.

But there are also some not so good things. For instance: My older daughter got vaccinated mainly for the reason of free traveling. And since that her behavior has changed. She has lost her laughing and friendly way, and of course has more troubles with her children. It was really heartbreaking when she told me that her son said: “Mom, I want to have back my former life!” (He is about 15 now).

And the splitting up of society touches me, too. But there are still places where you can speak free and meet people with the same opinion.

There is another story I would like to tell:

About 10 days ago I decided to have a beer (the first one since more than a year). I only drink a beer that is brewed in my region. It is a raw beer and it is the only one when "the day after" my head is working normal. Every other bear is not possible. Of course it is not like not having drunk, but it is okay.

So I went to the Pizzeria where I normally bring a bottle with me and they fill it up. Like in the old days when I was young and we went to a pub to get some beer in a pot.

When I came in I was shocked to realize that I did not know anybody of the crew anymore. Nearly all the young people were gone only one recognized me. We always had a nice time when I had to wait for my beer to be filled in, making jokes and laughing.
This time there were two ladies with grim faces, unfriendly and carefully checking peoples PCR-tests or vaccies. The atmosphere was completely different and after I while I felt the urgent need to go out. Good enough all went quick and I could leave.

When leaving I felt the urgent need to scrub my body to get rid of the things I felt were in the atmosphere. It took 2 days until that feeling was completely gone. My interpretation is: There must have been so many vacci-people that the air was filled up with something. I am a little bit sensitive to these things. I felt the same when I had to bring a friend of a friend to a doctor with my car. She is also vaccinated and I felt something like a wave coming from her. I had to drive with an open window nearly all of the time.

Last time I have been in the Pizzeria - - - but not to worry, I get my beer elsewhere, it is only 12 km to go to the brewery . . .
