Birthday, Limitations, and DOOM Eternal

So as of 8 days ago, March 23rd I am now 25 years old. This body is still young, but mentally i feel like i've grown up a lot over the past year.
And that is proved by the fact that i seem to care less and less about birthday celebrations...
I mean, considering the current situation in our world, and my country is no exception, celebrating with friends and family seem to be impossible(well, there's my parents, but you know..)
Even so, I ate a lot of snacks on that day. We have a tradition that whenever one of us three have a birthday, he gets a table full of stuff he likes to eat, such as cheetos, chocolate bars, etc etc.
It was standard, but I enjoyed the feeling of moving up a number.

Speaking of which, our country undergoes many changes because of the COVID-19, one of which is forming an emergency government. Everyone in the country got limitations, such as not moving 100 meters away from home unless it's for necessary means(like buying food or medicine). This has been going on for 6 days, and they keep adding more every 3-4 days.
In my city, there haven't been any new cases since 5 days ago, and the amount of people in the country who have recovered keeps going up.
I'm confident that by the end of April, at least in my country, things will go back to normal. If my prediction turns out to be true, then that means the COVID-19 was nothing different than previous epidemics and even pandemics. Maybe in a year from now, we won't only be vaccinated for the flu, but also for the COVID-19, and this is fine. i have no doubt that in a matter of 3 years, there will be enough vaccines for the majority of our country.

And on a completely different topic, March 20th was a very special day to me. DOOM Eternal came out, and I played it's campaign for 2 and a half days, on 3 sittings.
I can confirm that it is officially my newest favorite game ever, although it's not flawless.
It's an amazing FPS experience with tons of combat and intensity. Music is phenomenal, mechanics are smooth and comfy, the "body destruction" formula is so juicy, and it's the hardest DOOM game I ever played(as in fair hard, not unfair hard like Final Doom Plutonia).
I can brag about it's greatness for hours, but for now i'll say that it's pure satisfaction, and I cannot wait what comes next for the series(weeeell, there's DLC campaigns coming soon, but you get what i'm saying..)

Happy birthday.
I feel the same way about my own birthdays. I've never liked to celebrate my birthdays, because I was born in august 18th.
That day has always been the first day of classes in almost all the schools I attended in my life as a student.
Imagine waking up on your birthday only to spend it in a classroom with people you barely know and doing homework all day.
Ugh, hate them.
This meant that I couldn't make a party because we had little money by the start of school and literally didn't had any friends to celebrate with.

It's good to know that you live in a country where people seems to have common sense and actually acting according to official statements. Here in Mexico people has always been kind of stupid and moronic.
Covid-19 is indeed in the family of the Flu virus, but the main trouble about Covid is the Phneumonia that can lead to if you get infected with it. Yesterday I saw on the news that some doctor of somewhere showed a 3D model of the lungs of a pattient of 59 years old infected with Covid-19 and it wasn't pretty.

Again, happy birthday I and I hope that you keep growing (not just keeping growing like me though)

@JuanMena oh, don't get me wrong. our country's society is filled with idiots. when they cancelled school, tons of teenagers went to the beach, because they treated this as a typical day-off.
over the past week, we got many restrictions, and yet the religious people still prayed in large groups, because the head of the ministry of health himself is religious, so it's like he give them favoritism.
Currently they share the same restrictions. serve them right.

Long story short, i'm not a good example of representing our society. we have more idiots with inappropriate behavior than people like me with proper mindset and realistic view of the situation.

The more people get vaccinated against dangerous diseases like this and others, the more people who cannot get those vaccines due to allergies or general poor constitution are also protected.
I just hope people actually get the eventual vaccine, instead of refusing due to "this causes autism!" and "this contains mercury!" easily-debunked arguments - and thus leaving vulnerable people undefended.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
