Has anyone noticed the world has changed since Covid?

What a terrible time you have had! Having to get the vaccines just to keep seeing your doctors and obtain your medications etc. Then you had those awful side effects! I'm so sorry to hear that. But on top of that, running low on food for 6 weeks is just awful! I didn't know that the supermarkets ran out of supplies. Although I had noticed a lot of empty shelves in them during the whole virus thing. I guess the best thing to do is to buy ahead on things that are healthy and last such as dry beans or canned beans, split peas, canned vegetables and flour and sugar and Crisco so you can make your own biscuits and cookies etc. And, if you feel like cooking and can afford to buy extra! I eat oatmeal with just butter and salt and pepper. I like it! That came about one time when my mom and I ran out of both milk and money. But we had plenty of oatmeal!
There's nothing wrong with avoiding people and society. My husband and I don't really care to go around a lot of people or to events etc. You have to do what feels right for you.
I hope things work out with your physical problems. I'll say a prayer for you.

Thank you kindly 🙂🌺
I would keep lots in my pantry if I could, however I have inflammatory bowel disease (colitis) so there are many foods that aren’t possible to eat - many of these are the ‘dry’ goods that can be stored in the pantry. I’d run out of the frozen meals that I make for myself, and all the foods that are possible to digest were all gone. I couldn’t go into the stores due to immunocompromise risk of infection (nothing on the shelves anyway), so I had to wait weeks for not only restocking, but for supermarkets to initiate click and collect (deliveries were cancelled due to social distancing requirements).
I now keep lots of Fresubin and nestle Resource (nutritional replacements for people who cannot eat a wide variety of foods and are at risk of malnutrition due to malabsorption) in the pantry in case I cannot access the narrow range of foods that I’m able to digest.
The vaccine pressure and coercion/blackmailing was difficult - I didn’t want the vaccines having had brain inflammation in the past from vaccines, but the pressure was relentless and being isolated from essential medical care was causing me to be very unwell. I had no choice, really.
I keep away from people so I don’t get sick - regular germs that people have, have made me very unwell with sepsis, so even if I’d enjoy company, it’s not viable.
But I do understand how nice it can be to have space from people.
Thanks 🙂
