RE: Contemplating My Post-Steemit Existence

in #steemit5 years ago

Thank you for the blessings, we are all as healthy as we can be. I read that you were taking some courses but I took those to be writing courses. Are there courses on vlogging too?
The hysteria is almost hilarious, the wife said she witnesses a shoving match between two ladies over a four pack of toilet paper at the grocery last Friday.
Here in our town the churches have even suspended services, only online viewing.
I don't know about the peak or anything like that here , what I do believe is that the current virus will lead to some other things that will have a more drastic affect on us to come... far longer than the virus will bother us.
Just a gut feeling on my part.
Take care and I will keep checking in from time to time.

You're welcome. I appreciate yours as well. I began signing up for writing courses then added some vlogging/filmmaking courses in as well. It's going to be interesting.

I can't believe the hysteria. I just heard the entire city of San Fran is under state-imposed quarantine (like Italy). Everything is shutting down and people will receive citations if they're caught outside their homes. I expect to see more of this.

I have the same sinking feeling that the world, as we know it, in some way will cease to exist on the other side of this "crisis". I'm unsure if this will be some sweeping Act (like the Patriot Act) that is passed that curtails some of our freedoms or what. China, I feel, will attain true super power status after this.

I've had this worry for years that they'll find a way to restrict travel on a more permanent basis and maybe this will be it (I hope not). This is why I was looking into become an expat. Or maybe it will be a law that allows the government to respond more quickly to these kinds of events? One thing is for sure, the traditional financial markets will be crushed and it will take years for them to recover. This could be cryptocurrency's time to really shine. Time will tell. Take care of you and yours my friend.
