A Fun Experience I Never Want Again
There isn't actually a lot to say that it is positive nigh 2020 is there and now 2021? We are still in the centre of a global pandemic and I still remember writing this back in March 2020. Nosotros are in January 2021 and non a lot has changed, autonomously from some brief relaxations to the rules and regaining a lilliputian more than freedom. I frequently take to pinch myself. Remember what I tin can and can't practise. Think it is non a dream, and all existent! But us humans do adapt and nosotros do get on with it. Well, we accept to! What always happens in whatsoever new situation is we develop new phrases, new buzzwords and the Covid-nineteen pandemic is absolutely no dissimilar. If you are anything like me, yous hate them and you volition never to want to hear again once again Ever after this pandemic. You heed to people spout them, you lot read most them and cringe or grimace or yell at the news. Pandemic Phrases from 2020 have made Covid-19 fifty-fifty worse!
Nosotros finally succumbed to Covid-19 at the start of 2021 and although it wasn't severe it still wasn't fun!

Anyhow, dorsum to Pandemic Phrases
Run into what I mean and let me know in the comments if y'all take anymore that y'all detest!
Pandemic Phrases That I Detest!
I'thousand sure you volition be joining me in the dislike of the get-go off many pandemic phrases of 2020.
– Lockdown – total lockdown, half lockdown, local lockdown, relaxing lockdown..this one has been the toughest. When the concept of lockdown was mentioned, when happening abroad, I never idea it would really happen and it did. When it started to come up around once more, I merely felt rage. Almost similar a child screaming at their parents, "you can't tell ME what to do!!" again. Just they tin sadly and I never want to be put in this situation or hear that word always again when this is over. Taking away your freedom to see friends and family unit was the hardest. Part of me wonders how many lockdown phrases we could come up up with but that really is another post!
– Shielding – a shield to me is a huge piece of metallic that stops you getting an pointer or sword shoved into your torso and getting killed, so I can see why it was adapted for those who need to isolate and are vulnerable. Still, I can't imagine being in that situation and I actually felt for those who had to shield. I'm sure like me, they never want anyone to tell "them to shield" ever again!
– Social Distancing– when Chris Whitty said we may have to social distance until 2021, I was ready to boot my laptop out of the window. I seems to bizarre to keep 2m abroad from anybody and really hard! I can't now retrieve when I last hugged a friend. I hate the fashion this word is spewed out on the news daily. I've ever seen slogan tees with information technology on! It volition be incredible to have no-one e'er tell me to do this once again.
– 2nd Wave, 3rd wave…whatsoever moving ridge!!!– I swear back in May when we had VE Day and the bank holidays, may Facebook was full of people raving about how a second wave was coming in two weeks time. It never did, it came when it was most likely to; when more and more restrictions were lifted. People were obsessed and and so convinced it would happen before. Facebook virologists eh? I merely ever want to hear the word moving ridge when proverb hello or goodbye to someone or if the kids bring a physics lesson home!
-Measures in place –Frankly I'one thousand ill of measures. I'yard sick of beingness told what to do. I'thou sick of people "putting in measures" that take abroad my freedom. I know they are necessary but reading the phrase, especially when more are on the mode, is soul destroying.
–Unprecedented –It feels like everything is unprecedented as the Government don't seem to have a inkling what is ever going on.
–Side by side Slide Please– I honey Chris Whitty but the abiding "next slide pleases" either makes me laugh or groan!
–Grim Milestone –I read the BBC news a lot and every time we striking a certain number of Covid cases or sadly deaths it is always described as a "grim milestone". Think of some other phrase please.
– Wear a mask –nosotros don't demand them. We practise need them. We don't need them in shops. We do. Masks mandatory at schoolhouse. They make y'all hot, they steam upwards your glasses. If you don't launder them, they are minging. We wear them of grade but I'll exist binning mine, the minute we can!
–Hands, Face, Space –another one that drives me mad. I know we need to call back almost information technology all the time just it was be 1 I will be ready to lose when the time comes.
– Covid Safe – this phrase to me is the nearly ambiguous, every bit I retrieve unless anyone is in PPE, this is never going to happen. The schools are meant to exist Covid-safe and really? If this was the case no bugs would spread and no kids would take had a cold. You exercise your best to reduce the risk simply that'due south it, so perhaps "Covid-done- everything-we-tin-to-reduce-the-risk-but-never-fully-rubber" would exist meliorate?
–Tiers –I don't always want to be in a tier again and like so many memes have said on social media, the only tiers I intendance virtually are on a cake!!
– R Number –I oft wonder do they really know what this number accurately is. Information technology'south thrown around all over and I know it's useful and a good mensurate of the trajectory of a disease just the thought of how many people could get something if one person coughs near you is pretty grim.
– Zoom Drinks –Zoom drinks were ok. They kind of put a bandage on missing seeing friends at the pub and for meals but for me it will never be the same. I find y'all stop upwards talking over people in a group and I'd much rather accept a face-to-face. Bye good day Zoom later on the pandemic! I'thousand going out. I really do quite fancy make upwardly and getting dressed.
2020 Words I Never Want To Hear Again
– "At that place's been an uptick" –in the early days whenever the cases started to rise this annoying phrase came out. Forget uptick, information technology's ascent and probably because nosotros haven't all been doing as nosotros are told.
– Composite Learning –kids are meant to be in school and I am not a teacher at all! For me and my daughter (she has told me), even some time with home learning is not fun. I would rather stick pins in my eyes and I hope when this is all over, nobody Ever suggests nosotros exercise this over again.
or even worse
– Domicile Schooling –full-time school at domicile? No style! Those who do it deserve a medal, as I tell y'all know if I'm not cut out for blended learning, I'm certainly not cut out for home schooling. Watching my eldest take 1 hour to write a decent sentence? Not for me!
– Track and Trace –From what I've read it doesn't seem to have worked so well. People are non adhering to information technology and I experience very weird filling in a form when going into a bar or pub! I don't want to be tracked and traced so can't wait to encounter the back of this.
– Cocky Isolate –one in v people are doing it when they should. 14 days not leaving the house. It'southward a tough bargain. I used to joke almost quarantining the kids the weeks earlier we went on holidays or before Christmas and I don't think I e'er volition over again. I never want to worry near isolating again for a very long fourth dimension, if at all. Unless it'southward a spa, forget it!
– When this is all over…. –only when will it be all over? I don't recall anyone really knows yet they say it a lot! Let's promise not much longer!
I know we are probably going to take to alive with these words for a picayune while longer yet until after this pandemic! We are definitely "not out of the forest" (that's some other one there!)
For now I'll just take to scroll my optics when I hear my favourite buzzwords, do every bit I'm told and go on with it! I know in years to come, I'll look back on this listing and grinning (I promise!)
Can you add anymore to my listing of pandemic phrases 2020?
