这是标准的观点,即2020年的一切都完全糟透了。我将在这里尝试成为一个乐观主义者,并说不是一切自3月以来,当Covid有效地结束了常规日常生活以来,就一直很卑鄙。由于我在家工作并且不必上下班,所以以后可以睡觉。我还可以花更多的时间陪伴我的狗(因为我们已经失去了所有的界限,因为目前正在抱怨我停止工作并将他带到外面。我组装了一个非常不错的口罩。我没有一次感冒。初夏和秋季大部分时间的天气都很漂亮,我可以在外面做工作并享受它。我附近的人们以一种非常出色的方式聚集在一起,以确保每个人都受到喂养和照顾。

Janelle Bitker和Justin Phillips,两名工作人员旧金山编年史,已决定回顾2020年在乐观上也是如此。Since they are both food writers, the 12 items on their list of silver linings are all food-related and can apply to almost anywhere in the U.S. Yes, it’s true the restaurant industry as we knew it pretty much tanked, but the challenges have brought out the best in some chefs: we’ve seen more experiments with pop-ups with more creative food, which in turn led to more progress in legalizing cottage industries. Chefs have been cooking for people other than those who normally eat at fine-dining restaurants—low-income people, homebound older adults, essential workers—and, by converting their restaurants into grocery stores, have made their food more widely available. Artisanal ingredients and fine wines that would normally go to restaurants became available to home cooks. The greater reliance on takeout has exposed just how predatory the delivery apps are and has inspired legislation to limit excessive fees.
