Yes, it certainly has, but not because it's deadly, like Ebola. It's deadly like, well, a very bad flu season. It's been blown way out of proportion by governments across the globe, as well as the media organizations in their pockets. Covid is real and it can kill ya, but the reaction to it has been based on hunger for power first, safety of citizens second.
I do think animals need to be given better treatment, but I will always eat their flesh (cooked and/or uncooked). I have been thinking about making a career change. Doing something to help animals. I know I wouldn't make much, if any, money, but I may be in a position to do that for a good long while, in the near future. Could be a few months, or a few years until this possibility could come to fruition. Other than that, I'd like to do some traveling around the good ol' USA and disc golf at as many top-notch disc golf courses this country has to offer as is humanly possible. I'm getting to the point where my disc golf skills are going to start declining rapidly, so I'd like to get out and play the epic courses while my game is still good enough to attack them.
Anyhow, hope you have yourself a good day and a good rest of your week. I don't think you celebrate Thanksgiving (you are in UK, right?); otherwise, I'd say "happy Thanksgiving to you!"
Cheers!
