Ntfs is pretty dogshit

Nah not for me. It was nothing but a terrible time making me relive experiences I never should have experienced. If anything it made me weaker because I’m left with trauma now and am even more fearful of loneliness.

I’m Australian, and It’s up for argument about how necessary isolation was, but it definitely had a positive impact on transmission of the disease and covid deaths. I know for me, while I was not at high risk from covid, it helped people that I knew were immunocompromised. But the isolation had me in the worst depressive state I ever was in, combined with losing my job, 2020/2021 were some of the most terrifying and horrific parts of my life. I know a few people who died of covid too, so it wasn’t this casual sickness.

I’m glad you had a good time during it, I just think it’s an unpopular opinion describing it as some of the best years, because that’s dismissive of a huge amount of people who suffered hard.

Probably more fair to say it was the best year for you.

I imagine quite a few people had a great 2020 but it’s important to acknowledge that many many many others did not due to isolation, sickness, fear, losing their job and so on. It was a horrifically serious year for the rest of the world.
