Is 2021 turning out as you have expected it so far?

We are already in the third month of 2021. Is it a disappointment or a pleasant surprise?
I'm glad I'm not dead yet
@Syntonic wish you all health & better times 🍵

@lovelywarpedlemon Thank you. You and yours too.
Sidewinder · 36-40, M
@lovelywarpedlemon You and me, both.
Pretty much. It was clear by the end of 2020 that 2021 was still going to see its share of challenges. That is proving out.

Hopefully some things are starting to move in the right direction for covid with the vaccine approvals and ramping up the treatment plans.

I think anyone would be a fool to have any expectations whatsoever for 2021. 😄
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@Ambroseguy80 Good point
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
@Syntonic only one way to go.... up! ;)

Things are improving - businesses are opening up, covid cases are declining, we have some sanity back in Washington :) All we need is spring, and it’s on the way.
Softandsweet2 · 31-35, F
@Zonuss well, I’m a fan of the mask mandate - I hate the damn things but I know it’s temporary and it’s practically wiped out the flu for this year. We will be over this by mid summer so hang in there. The beach will be calling soon, and I will answer.
Softandsweet2 · 31-35, F
@Zonuss I’m in North Carolina btw - hi neighbor :)
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@Softandsweet2 Positive thinking. I agree with you.
TexChik · F
With the disaster in Washington already having dire effects on the economy ... it’s gonna be a long year
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@TexChik It wasn't a disaster in 2020 ? Last time I checked Trump was voted out. Funny how it all of a sudden is bad after 1 month of Biden. 😂
TexChik · F
@Zonuss yes and the libs lied their asses off, Blue governors needlessly killed thousands of elderly by ordering active covid patients be housed in nursing homes while a thousand bed hospital ship sat empty in NY harbor and blue states arrested people that defied their unconstitutional mandates and tried to work .
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@TexChik This went on in every state. This isn't a red or blue issue here. If anything you should be concerned about the 1,000 investigations going on when these Trump enthused domestic White Nationalist terrorists right now. The city of DC is on lockdown right now because of the March 4th threats they received this week. But you probably don't care about that you unAmerican infidel. 🙂🥺

It started out the worst time of my life, but now it's becoming the best we can expect
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@Platinum I hope things get even better for you.
Platinum · M
I don't think we will get covid again so it's got to get better and next month restaurants will be open....@Syntonic
goagainsttheflow · 26-30, F
Yeah, it's just 2020 if it was copy & pasted like I predicted. I am still staying in my home and working from it😅
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@goagainsttheflow I hope things get better soon.
ahiyaa · M
definitely a disappointment so far
ahiyaa · M
@Syntonic lots of personal drama
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@ahiyaa Oh, sorry. Get rid of the drama.
ahiyaa · M
@Syntonic will try to :)
Elessar · 26-30, M
It's perfectly in line with my dystopian expectations.
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@Elessar So you weren't expecting much to begin with.
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Syntonic I was expecting a lot of people to get disappointed realising covid wouldn't have ended on 2020-12-31 11:59pm for starters, and unlike those I'm not disappointed.

I didn't expect vaccinations to proceed as fast and free-of-trouble as literally everyone hoped, and in that regards I guess we haven't improved much either.
It’s what I expected 🤷‍♀️ I knew the rona wasn’t gonna leave that easy. *sigh
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@SweetNSassy It will eventually. By summer I expect relief.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
Actually better than I expected, for now..But my picture of the overall medium to long term has not shifted. A lot of people think the vaccines will make everything go away. But the economic damage and the wish of some governments to return to the old ways will mean things will be either bad or covered up for a long time..😷
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@whowasthatmaskedman
Return to the old ways?
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@Syntonic In the case of America, pretend that the economy is not screwed and try to pretnd they are a world power playing the strong mans game. Before Covid everyone was saying the Emperor had no clothes. Now he is no longer Emperor. He is a sick old man with over half a million dead and a totally trashed economy. And because of how badly the pandemic has been run there, they will be one of the last and weakest out of it..😷
sassypants · 36-40, F
Its seems like everyone has a more positive outlook.
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@sassypants Most people. Not all.

As expected, people were looking forward to the new year I was expecting more of the same especially on the early part. As long as the new variants of Covid do not cause too much problems and the UK can carry on with the success of the vaccine program then I can see the 2nd half of the year being a lot better.
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@SW-User Let us hope.🤞
Yes.....stuck in lockdown until who knows when.
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@TheSirfurryanimalWales Let's hope for an end soon.
Nomad7 · 22-25, M
I would say so. Where I'm from, things have opened up, so you can really go out and have a great time.
Academics and career wise- things are falling into place too, so let's see what happens...

What about you?
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@Nomad7 Things are getting better. Winter was rough covid and weather wise. I am cautiously optimistic.
Nomad7 · 22-25, M
@Syntonic Oh, did you get Covid?
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@Nomad7 No, I just meant in the community. Not me but I know several people who had it.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
If in 31 days, the churches won't be packed and Covid will not be gone like a miracle... if that doesn't happen. It will probably be my first real: "WTF?!?, I believe in nothing no more"-moment.

Till that day, everything is just great.
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@Kwek00 Packed churches is the key sign of life being good?
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@Syntonic All these things are just linked together. COVID will be gone, the churches will be packed and it will be like a miracle. It will all happen 31 days from now.

COVID being gone, is a good thing. If this in some way packs the churches, I can live with that on that day. It's a small compromise. I won't be in the church tough, but at some bar celebrating that we survived the plague.

So far I’ve been struggling extremely badly double so it makes last year feel like a party
SW-User
@Syntonic Just dealing with it best I can because I was turned down from getting free help
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@SW-User I hope things work out.
SW-User
@Syntonic thank you 💙
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
Surprise no one has mentioned that there's far less political rhetoric!

That I find is a pleasant surprise rather than the every hour political rhetoric by multiple sources. 😊
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@DeWayfarer Less Trump, more peace and sanity.
SW-User
The start of this year became a downward spiral, last year ended with the start of my life going up side down, with no way back up right.
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@SW-User Sorry you are going through that. I'm sure there is a way back up right for you. Don't give up hope. 🤗
SW-User
@Syntonic I used to soldier on quite easily, but just been feeling too old and too wounded of late.
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@SW-User You have a lot of life left.
Hayleywg · 46-50, F
Back to teaching face to face next week.

Sidewinder · 36-40, M
A disappointment.😞
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@Sidewinder Things will get better for everyone by the summer.
Sidewinder · 36-40, M
@Syntonic One can only hope.🤞

But even an optimist has to be cautious in their optimism.
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@Sidewinder Hope for the best. Prepare for the worse. 🤞
Was sure nothing could top 2020. I was wrong.
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@SethGreene531 Give it time.
@Syntonic Thank you 💛😔
SW-User
It's a pleasant surprise.
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@SW-User What's the surprise?
SubstantialKick · 31-35, M
It's been a disappointment so far.
SweetMae · 70-79, F
It has been mostly good.
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@SweetMae Very positive
Shutterbug · 56-60, M
Just like 2020!
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@Shutterbug It can improve.
maturedragon · 26-30, M
never had any expectations of the year, I just assumed its going to be a repeat of 2020
maturedragon · 26-30, M
@Syntonic good? I just mostly stayed inside anyway
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@maturedragon It's safest there.
maturedragon · 26-30, M
@Syntonic living the gamer's life!
DDonde · 31-35, M
So far can't complain
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@DDonde Positive view
Zonuss · 41-45, M
A pleasant surprise. It's just as electric as 2020. And it's only March. 🙄
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@Zonuss Electric how? Full of drama and surprises?
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Syntonic Long story. But I feel lead a very unorthodoxed lifestyle. And I'm here on a beach resort that's booming. So many things to see and do here. Again it's a long story. But this is life. ☺️✨
Syntonic · 36-40, F
@Zonuss It's a bit nippy out to be on the beach.
