It's Christmas and the weather got colder. A new word ‘Omicron’ is getting into our lives. The news that we all hoped wouldn’t come arrived: tighter COVID-19-related restrictions (Omicron) are here, just in time for Christmas. Christmas and Covid-19 (Stay Healthy)
As of this week, people all over Europe are being instructed to work from home once again.
For some of this, it will likely feel like a giant step back. Until now there aren’t any official rules instructing the cancellation of Christmas get-togethers with friends, family, or co-workers, many people are feeling like that’s the safer option.
That means it’s possible in the next few days we’ll need to change our plans.
Here are some tips on how to survive this new fucking Omicron – Covid 19 Pandemic!
1. Use a Virtual World – Gather Town
You’re thinking that you had enough Zoom meetings and video conferences. But there are other virtual hangout options out there, and some of them can be entertaining.
Gather Town it’s a cross between Zoom and a video game. You and your friends can meet in an office, a coffee shop, or even a whole private island and interact with each other by controlling an avatar.
Just like in Zoom, you can still talk using video and audio, but you can also have smaller conversations by walking up to an individual you want to speak to. Plus you get to choose an outfit!
2. Plan an Adventure for Post-Covid
Things are unpredictable now doesn’t mean they’ll always be. If you can’t spend time with friends in the way you might want to now, then you can plan something truly spectacular for post-covid.
Maybe it’s the bucket list holiday you said you’d get to one day, or maybe it’s an exotic beach.
Whether big or small – now is the time to plan that thing you said you’d always do someday.
3. Protect Yourself
When things go wrong, many of us react by worrying about the people around us. That’s a beautiful response, but it’s important to protect yourself too.
Too often we don’t let ourselves feel the anger, upset, and disappointment that comes with bad news. That’s even more true with this pandemic, where our loss can be anything from canceled plans to the death of a loved one.
It’s easy to tell ourselves that others have it much worse. But that doesn’t change the fact that you need to protect yourself, you need to survive.
4. Relationships and Meetings
Now is a good time to think about your relationships and think about the different ways you can celebrate with those who mean the most to you.
Now might be the time to start rescheduling those virtual meetings with your favorite colleagues, loved people, or your family.
However, you choose to stay close to the ones you care about, remember that our relationships don’t need to happen in person for them to be meaningful.
Last Tip
Stay positive and healthy. Avoid Covid-19 and the new ‘Fucking Omikron’ disease. Become a virtual visitor and communicate with people via phone, Zoom, or video conference.
Celebrate Christmas with your family and friends via Zoom if it’s impossible to be in the same place. I hope that soon this fucking pandemic will become a past nightmare!
Merry Christmas! Protect Yourself, Believe in God, and Stay Healthy.
