[QUOTE="Markshall, post: 466154, member: 1872"] It’d be an understatement to say that coronavirus has affected all of us in some way or another, but I’m genuinely curious to find out who has been affected in what way(s). Whether it be financially, mentally, losing your job/loved ones to the virus or just about anything. Personally, I’ve been very fortunate in that I’ve managed to maintain my job. I work as a web developer for an oil company and we’ve been deemed an essential industry in the UK by our government (after-all, hospitals and schools still need fuels and oils etc) so I’ve been working from home since March. I’m also fortunate that no one I know has died or become seriously ill the virus, I know people close to me who have had it, but they’ve fully recovered with no complications. I’ve also ended up financially better off. I’ve recently paid my car finance off so I’m no longer paying £250 for that every month. I also no longer have to drive roughly 1 hour to work, and then 1 hour back home each day so that’s giving me more sleep, less traffic jams and also saving me upwards of £200 a month in petrol. This also goes hand-in-hand with the fact that a hell of a lot of places had been forced to shut during the first 6 months of our lockdown, so I was no longer spending money at restaurants or pubs so I was saving money there. So, what about you lot? I’d also very much like to keep this thread free of politics, I don’t want to see how one country or government official handled it better/worse than another. This thread is about you, not your government. [/QUOTE]
