What one good and bad thing happened in your life after first lockdown announced?

Start with mine: Good: Spent time with family, played Ludo, started regular exercise, moved to own house from rented once in Feb 20, Didi marriage. Was away from family since 2008. Was visiting family only in festivals.

Bad: Job offer from Dubai rescinded but current employer retained so not that bad.

Good:

Got to stay with family for such a continuous tenure after almost a decade (was away for studies and then job and only visiting at time of festivals).

Was able to do some savings as was doing WFH.

Was able to switch to the good company (current employer).

Bad: Before I switched to the current employer, my health got affected due to long hours required by the previous employer as they thought WFH means they have nothing else to do.

Good and bad: job market tanked so I went all in on my ventures. Learnt a lot, don't need to look for jobs anymore, work when I like, more time for exercise and family.

Good: Got new WFH job during pandemic.

Bad: Mental health suffered during lockdown, leading to anxiety and panic attacks. Also, some of my friends, acquaintances, and relatives died of Covid during the pandemic.
