Now this world teaches us that
we have to survive only by wearing masks and having no social contacts. So where are we going? Does science tell us why?
Does science tell us when it will surely end and everything will return to normal? Is it worth being? I want to be free, whatever the cost, even death.
What about you?
@3Di
I thought I had made it perfectly clear with my "troll" post.
Sulking and complaining about "lack" of freedom doesn't help. Covid is not the end of the world and certainly did not prevent me from having social contacts. Yes, some freedom was lost but seriously it's a small price to pay for being able to continue living. It certainly is still worth being, and ironically this crisis may have woken many to the fact that we take everything we have for granted.
Yes, not everone's lucky enough to live in a country that offers access to specialised medical treatment, no food shortages, information, in some cases even financial aid to those who are professionally affected by covid.
The black plague and the serious measles pandemic were more devastating than covid and would even have been worse if travel were to easy in that period.
I'm not downplaying covid, and I'm also tired of the restrictions but I've tried to follow the "guiding rules" and just like everyone else I've missed some of my "freedom".
There light at the end of that tunnel. Even if the Indian, South African, Brasilian or whatever new variants get a foothold here, we're better prepared now and I'm fairly confident that the worst is behind us.
