I don't have children... But being at home just cleaning up and working at home, after a year, it's driving me crazy. I'm a freelancer and I'm always afraid of a new lockdown. I live in Italy... And right now they are thinking about another strict lockdown. I'm worry because my husband's job needs people, my job needs people... Is not just about been immersed in the cleaning and in the computer, it's the money as well. It's feeling that I can not be tired because I'm working from home... Because I'm sitting down in front of a computer. But the dishwasher is ready, and the dryer machine is ready at the same time, and the doggy needs to go outside, but I have a dead line. I respect mom's and dad's who have children at home.

NO. Go out and see your friends and family with your masks on. Do not stay home. It will drive you crazy. These people are wild. You can’t tell people to stay home indefinitely. NO

[mballer]

Oh she is soooo good, like an angel, none of us would ever have gotten through this without her.... Who else could have told us to wash our hands or to wear a mask...
And now to embrace this...
Don't forget to buy her book.
She raised chickens, I ate chickens, symbiosis...
Let's all do it again next year, there are always new viruses to be found.

YOU don't get to tell a free people what their normal is. NO!

[tubewatcher]

This doctor loves the new normal. She doesn’t want life to return to the way it was. Why would she? COVID has put her in the spotlight and made her relevant.

[kmarch]

This is not the new normal. It's not normal to live in a pandemic state forever. Why do I click on these ridiculous stories?

[Furshe]

Acceptance of "NORMAL" ... JUST DO WHAT WE TELL YOU AND DON'T QUESTION ANYTHING 🤐

[ViciousAlienKlown]

The New Normal is the elites takign your rights away with a a scamdemic and a far left sell out for a president. Everyday that passes under the Biden Administration the more people wake up to this reality.

[nightskies]

Weird how they are so against going back to the old normal. We can’t live like this forever. I can understand another year or so but that’s it

[Dolcevita_bakes]

The only NORMAL or close to normal in the USA is Florida and Maybe few others which is where I will be moving to get back my freedoms and normal back! I pray their Governor never goes away or they get another one like him that won’t take away our freedoms!

[jeanninepoulin]

Those of us who are awake know exactly what is going on here, Scriptures has already warned us about these end of days and for those of you who think that this is going to get better... sorry, but it won't. Our ONLY hope is in Jesus Christ our Lord.

[joe]

There's no new normal. People aren't going to put up with this for much longer. It's time to open EVERYTHING back up and get on with our lives. We're tired of this soap opera.

[DinosaurKale]

“Will we ever get back to normal?” . . .
“STOP ASKING THAT! DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!”

[dhhdsjjc]

This is so creepy. "new normal" wtf

[Melvinwateren]

these kinds of people are the fuel for hellfire. sad that they think they live forever.

[ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

Can't get over this lady telling us that masks were unnecessary.

[disiamtheillusion]

Disney ccp tv news soooo biased and sad

[danielmedina]

Yup if you fall for this you deserve the world you are creating.

[Dolcevita_bakes]

I would be surprised if all these clips weren’t manufactured and set up like the woman talking when her son interupts just at the right time playing his trumpet!

[blessedarethepeacemakers.]

Sometimes I wonder why some adults are lascivious in front of children when they don’t show it. They are afraid.
