Life before the vaccine

I am a lupus patient, termed clinically vulnerable. This past year has been full of feelings, fear, anger and isolation being at the top of the list. At times it felt like life was nothing more than covid count the death rate and the lockdowns.

It was a run between wishing for a lockdown when kids had to go to school in extreme pandemic conditions to hoping for some normalization when homeschooling crushed us.

On line grocery shopping was fine for the first couple of months but as time passed I wanted to go out and choose my own stuff…

Although many of us think of electric vehicles as the modern alternative to our existing means of transportation yet the existence of this concept can be traced back to 1830s when a motorized carriage was built by Scotland’s Robert Anderson. This carriage was powered by non-rechargeable primary power cells.

By 1859 the batteries of electric vehicles could be recharged and by 1884 Thomas Parker helped deploy electric-powered trams and built prototype electric cars in England.

It scares me to think about the drastic changes taking effect in just over a couple of decades. …

I began my Medium journey last year April 2020. Within a few months, I had over 1K followers with Medium curations in almost 15 different genres.

I was dreaming big and moving fast, extremely happy with my self and here I stand today, just where I started finally reversing my Medium earnings to exactly where they were in the first month.
