I was one of a small segment that used Covid not to fall down the ladder of alcohol abuse but to get sober and clean totally, and the ensuing mortgage pause saved my house, and I didn't lose anyone - so my memories and impression of Covid is a lot rosier than some folks.
Actually during the weird week of 9/11, everyone was in a daze, and I used that to slip back into society which I had dropped out of for a year, staying in my apartment. Everyone's in shell shock the next day, and my PTSD brain is just humming along like normal, it was like I had a superpower. I kind of have a history of using national emergencies to climb back out of holes.
