    Traffic was close to zero here during covid lockdowns. It was bliss - it was quiet and serene like I’ve never experienced before.

    Is it wrong to be wistful about the car-free depths of a pandemic?

      Absolutely not, that shit was sick. What wasn’t sick is that I had to work through the pandemic. 😡

        Tbh I’ve been glad that I had the privilege to get out of my flat for work because of the many stories I’ve been told about ppl almost going insane. Then again I could have organised more than one online-“LAN” party and just gamed the whole time with my friends. But I also like my workplace at the time as I’ve been actively researching in the virology field and every day turned out to be full of suprises regarding SARS-CoV-2.

    it’s like when my vet says I have to wait 2 hours because they had an emergency that they “get all the time”.
