Hi all my dear friends,
I’m not going to get on my soapboax, our situation is a big deal and I don’t want to ask you take it easy. I know our life is changed these days. The current year which is going to finish has been weird, from day to day we have experienced a lot of things. But, going around coronavirus is the straw that broke the camel’s back that is a real turn off. The worst part is the price of health items like masks that was dirt cheap is getting astronomical and we have to pay through the nose
For being safety the health centers and doctors have recommended to stay at home but in emergency conditions. What can we do? It is water under the bridge and have to compatible with it. When I think about it I see people have realized that in the past, not long ago, they took their health for granted. They ate badly and didn’t exercise. Not just about health maybe our view to other aspects of the life has been changed like our family, friends, time and ourselves. I’m getting more thankful, because I’m healthy enough to take care of myself and my family. I can walk to go to wash my hands.
Now that we are at home beside our family; it is better no to be cutthroat and don’t let medical advice go in one ear and out the other. Even though, there are a lot to do that we run into temptation going out like hanging out with the folks. When I think of myself doing that I’m like a kid in a candy store.
Hopefully it’s going well these days

Maybe you think turn off is a verb, yes it is true. But we can use it as a noun so its meaning will be changed.

definition as a noun

something that you dislike or that you do not find interesting and maybe makes you upset

Examples:

1.This system may provide a powerful tool for adults who find computers a turn-
off yet need to learn to use them.

2.Rudeness is, for me, the ultimate turn-off.

توضیح:
شاید بگیم چرا خیلی ساده معادل این اصطلاح رو در متن استفاده نکرده ام. معادل آن یعنی دوست نداشتن، مطابق متن مشکل اخیر موردی هست که باعث ناراحت شدن شده:

تغییر جمله با معادلش:

But, going around coronavirus is the straw that broke the camel’s back that makes us upset ( or that we don’t like it)

با مقایسه ی دو جمله ترکیب a real turn off یه ترکیب زیباتری برای جمله هست.
