Ankle check is probably what brought up my own concerns. Looked at my ankles and was like what the fuck? Looked like I had sprained them and all swollen. Usually only the right one.
My issues are apparently hereditary. Not overweight and active. Really haven't felt unwell in a long time. So the puffy ankle raised an alarm. If you wear one, same with wedding ring. Mine wouldn't ever fall off, but it was no problem to get off/on. All of a sudden it was a struggle to get the damn thing off. If you're not gaining weight or getting fat and these things are happening, get to the doc asap.
This is why I'm personally taking this virus seriously as I'm a target and have only left the house I think 3 times now since March 15th. Fuck that sucks....
The ankle check was of course after listening, ekg, etc, etc.

Short lived once we come out like gang busters May 1st and pollute the fuck outta the place.
The funny part is people will see stuff like this and go outside to sniff up the noticeably same air they always have been. But with a satisfaction that things are better... Just don't go to Bill or Sarah's house and see them swinging from the rafters in the garage.

- As Warren Buffet so famously said, “Buy the dip, faggot”. It’s creating stock market buying opportunities.
- China is being even further exposed as a giant piece of shit. It’s forcing the globalists to rethink globalism. This mess will serve to bring back some fraction of jobs back home to the good ‘ol USA. It’s certainly forcing us to rethink the reliance on China for things like medication and surgical masks!
- I’m not spending 8-10hrs in my car commuting. I’m working from home and just about as productive as I was physically going in the office. Roll out of bed, go for a quick jog around the neighborhood, grab a coffee, and at my desk in no time.
- I’m seeing more of my immediate family. This is a positive or negative depending on how you see your family but I’m enjoying seeing my wife and kids more.
- A part of me is actually enjoying seeing life slow down a bit. We were moving so fast, so much traffic, congestion, events, etc etc etc. my calendar was always so constantly full that it was at times overwhelming.
- All the silly BS social stuff is cancelled... kids birthdays, silly holidays, etc.. you know, the stuff you are obligated to go to but go reluctantly lol. I fucking love that part LOL
- Roads are empty! I’ve rediscovered the thrill of driving. It’s amazing. I can go out for a spirited drive and not have to wait and wait and wait for the car in front of me.
I think what the pandemic is making me realize is that I may prefer the slower suburban life compared to the big city bustle at this stage of my life.
What are some unintended benefits of the pandemic that you’ve discovered?
