Q: Once we get past COVID...what will you want to do?

[EdgyTim]

What are you planning to do once we get eventually past COVID that you haven't been allowed to do or have been encouraged to refrain from doing?

A few of mine?

Go have a beer or two inside a bar
See a movie in a theater
Eat inside at a restaurant
Go see a concert

You?

 

[sporthog9er]

Definitely a concert and a live sporting event, hopefully Wrigley.

Saw a movie in September, was awesome. Nobody was there. Planning on going for Xmas.

Lucky to live in a town that has bars and restaurants still open so some brews and meals aren't something I've missed out on.

 

[missingwalter]

Looking forward to seeing my kids compete again.

White Sox games

and hitting up some HS basketball games.

 

[McCaravan]

Have a mask burning party, never use hand sanitizer again unless absolutely necessary, pay top dollar and sit directly behind the Sox dugout for a game, see Top Gun 2 after waiting patiently for 35 years and root on the CARAVAN!

my good friend has the two seats right next to the M&M guy. There isn't much better than that.

Can we burn that M&M jacket along with the masks?

 

[greatgig13]

Take that trip to Europe that got canceled in the spring.

 

[johnndoe]

Start to seek payback at the ballot box for those who abused power and wielded it by trampling over the principles of the Constitution and input of representative government.

pffft, it's flame proof.

[forlouann]

I'd really,really like to go to The Honeyfield Pancake House in Lockport for a Sunday breakfast. The food is amazing. I hope they make it through all this

 

[PowerI66]

I still have my tickets for Elton John after they rescheduled, so I'm looking forward to that

 

[EdgyTim]

How could I forget Sox games....damn

 

[corey90]

Visit family in. Florida.
Visit family in Canada.
Match Box Twenty concert that was rescheduled
Go to a Cubs game.

 

[crusader_of_90]

Hook up with Hinge girls - it used to be a condom would save you from deadly viruses.

Then again, with a mask, I don't have to be as picky ...

 

[juschill]

Get past COVID ... ROTFLMAO.

 

[epicbret]

[eagles2k3]

My kids sports are #1. My son wrestles and plays football and this has killed him. Also killing me wrestling on our mat in the basement.

If you are wrestling with your son who's a High School Wrestler, you deserve every rug burn and mat burn you get. 😳 🤣

 

[LTHSALUM76]

Pretty simple for me. Spend more time with my dad. At 87 he's getting up there and won't be around forever. He is pretty freaked out over all this and has been afraid to go to any gatherings, even outdoor ones in the summer. And I am going to spend more time with my grandsons. My daughter-in-law is an Oncology nurse at Rush and has dealt with a ton of Covid patients. She isn't letting anyone in her house since she is exposed to Covid every time she goes to work. It's just her, my son and the grandkids.
All the other stuff mentioned here comes second to me.

Lol. He’s a 67lb 10 year old! Wife won’t let us go to wrestling workouts so I’m stuck working with him in the basement! I love it though.

You?

Exercise at the health club again.

 

[Oddy]

Watch packed Sox games from the comfort of my home, you won't catch me in the city anymore. Indy 500. Local HS football games of course. Travel.

 

[EdgyTim]

Exercise at the health club again.

Ironically I can't eat inside a restaurant but I've been able to go to my gym consistently minus the early portion of the lockdown

 

[PowerI66]

packed Sox games

That doesn't really exist

 

[Oddy]

That doesn't really exist

It will next season. Sox fans show up when the team is good, if you can remember that far back.

 

[Wilmatucky]

I'm not ragging on anybody. Not trying to start debate. Just take my statement for what it's worth.

Several of you mentioned having a beer at a bar. If you are a person who is not scared of the virus, there are plenty of bars that are still remaining open. Don't think that they aren't out there. I drove past an establishment that I know for a fact is still serving and it was basically empty so I stopped for a few beers. Honestly, I was probably safer from the virus than any other time during this pandemic because the place is so big and aside from the bartender it was one other couple in there drinking. I was about 60 ft from them enjoying my beer.

That being said, if it looked like a raging party packed elbows to buttholes I probably would have kept on driving!

I know we can not let "the bad guys win," but the relatively new problem of gun violence on I-57 and the Dan Ryan is hard to dismiss. At least from the Southland areas, maybe the Rock Island Line of Metra will be the way to go, especially since starting on January 1st, those fares are to be cut in half.

What you and your ilk are missing from all of this is that if we had taken a statewide vote on a shut down, you would have lost. Like many these days, your preachy talk about democracy comes down to really just wanting things your way and whining when you're in the minority.

That’s why the masses are asses.

 

[Gene K.]

What's his ilk? Sounds to me like he was complaining about Pritzger and his decision making. I could be wrong though!

 

[Kevin JCHS 81]

Once we get past COVID ..... is starting to sound a whole lot like When I win the Lottery.

Hey wait, we're supposed to be the elitists!

Speaking for myself and my "ilk." seeing all 3 branches of state governments responsible for crucial pandemic decisions is preferable to one person stringing together over-stepping, unlimited 30-day Executive Orders based on cherry-picked metrics from unelected health officials using "science" that is constantly subject to reversal and dispute over the months.

 

[bccanwin]

Hug my family and friends. Miss the little things the most.

 

[eireog]

See Ed Sheeran live!!

Agreed...can't wait to spend time together as a whole family again with my family or my wife's family again.The picnics,birthday parties and holidays.My mother and my in laws are in their 80's and all have health issues so it has been a long scary year for the 3 of them.
