from Infinite Prattle Podcast! · host Stephen Kay

Send us a message 🤘What does it feel like to live through a global crisis while protecting a loved one who is particularly vulnerable? We recount our personal journey during the COVID-19 pandemic, navigating the early days of uncertainty and the drastic shift to a remote work lifestyle. With my wife having cystic fibrosis, we took extreme precautions, only to find that when we both contracted the virus, her symptoms were surprisingly mild compared to mine. As companies scrambled to establish remote work, we experienced not just the challenges but also the unexpected joys of spending more time at home together.From the rapid development of vaccines to the UK's "Eat Out to Help Out" scheme, we unpack the broader ramifications of the pandemic. We discuss the mixed messages around safety guidelines, the staggering death tolls, and the controversies over government spending on PPE and faulty contact-tracing apps. We also touch on the skepticism and conspiracy theories that added an extra layer of complexity to an already chaotic time. Join us as we reflect on these unprecedented events and their lasting impact on our lives.Support the showPlease remember to check out my website /social media, and support me if you feel you can.Subscribewww.infinite-prattle.comInstagram, Twitter, TikTok & Facebook Thanks!
