We are living in a time which is very uncertain. Covid-19 has come as a bold reminder to us that nothing is permanent. We are all pilgrims on this planet and sooner or later, we will have to go.
Covid-19 has taught me three important lessons:
1. Health is everything.
2. Spend time with your loved ones. We never know who is next.
3. Don't run after wealth, big cars and big houses. It will be of no use to fight Covid-19.
What are your lessons learned from Covid-19?

i like that people found ways to help each other, and those who lost their jobs were willing shift to other honest ways to earn as long. it's not good that others learned to cheat and deceive for their own gain, but other people are also quick to help those who were victimized.

I appreciate your comment. It is true that the world has come together and we have become stronger than before. We are all in this and so, we have to help each other.

This is correct. We need to have reasonable savings as we never know what is waiting for us in the future.

For me being a survivor of it, l have a deeper appreciation of what life is to me. Those three you mentioned are correct in some ways. #1 is important of all the three. #2 is something I learned when you literally cling to your own fragile life. #3 is somewhat relatively true but when your infected with it you’re savings/wealth is also an important part to get your way back. Many who didn’t make it has at one point were not financially prepared to deal with it.

I learned to take one day at a time, to be as careful as I can. Because you never know.

Amen, I still trying to get tiny house thing to catch on. Who is with me. Probably not good for covid but for sustainable living as resources go, tiny houses should be cool.

That's a good plan. I often watch documentaries on container houses, people living in vans and minimalist lifestyle. I am quite inspired by this way of life.

Because of COVID 19, I also have a lot of realization in life.
For one, nothing is permanent and anyone or anything can be taken away from you. During the start of the pandemic, a lot of people's jobs were affected. The used to be busy and in demand jobs in town were affected and unfortunate to those who lost their jobs. I have also realized that it is important to be prepared at all times. As an example, when the local government announced that there will be regulations on the movement of people, I was thankful that time I had enough savings to buy food and store non perishable goods in the event they will announce lockdown. I also learned to be thankful for what I have. Lastly, health is important and should not be taken for granted

I think the virus made many people really think about their life, how they live it, and re-evaluate their priorities. Life is not about the things you buy and collect, or how much money is in your bank account. It's the good you do here on earth before you go. You said it well, thank you.

Excellent. I like this "Life is not about the things you buy and collect". Yes, our possessions do not define our worth. So true.

I remember one covid patient said that he would sell of his properties just to be with his family again. Not sure if he recovered though. Yeah that really hits you.
