Respite from Infighting, Disunity

Here, it is also lawlessness that has now become the bedrock. No more civilization. It is indeed the wild wild west being forced.

This emptiness is so heavy and hurting And now the news that it was a bioweapon that's making round makes me feel so livid and helpless. Why a biological war to be a world power? A big shame for humanity if what's coming out of closet has some truth. I thought Hiroshima and Nagasaki were enough to put Humanity to shame for all coming generations. A war that ended in such ruthless way by a power drunk nation of that time that paralyzed human for generations. And now this story of biological warfare.... Humanity can't stoop lower than this

Man knew that the virus is the single infective agent that could put an end to man's dominion over earth and other species. China, in its hunger for world domination, did use the virus as a biowarfare. Inadvertently, the virus leaked in Wuhan first. Did we see pandemic coming? The prophecies did forewarn us albeit this pandemia is man-made. China would resort to nothing less but sinister. The statistics could tally up the numbers much later, the world is yet to overcome the disease. And yet, amidst all the wailing and the whining as families lose their loved ones, there is a shocking truth that the other half of this specie called man, is utterly in denial of the pandemic. Worse, demagogues who are ill-equipped to solve the health crisis, even has the propensity to sow discontent via false claims. The side-effects of the pandemia not only include depression due to cabin fever but also civil unrest due to repressed conflicts. As we see now Israeli versus Palestinians in the Gaza, Colombians going berserk, Afghan school girls being massacred by their own patriarchs, etcetera, ecetera. The pandemia was meant to be. Lives has been lost and life has been altered from the 'carefree' and complacent attitude. In a way, when man was put on necessary lockdown, this person was glad to see the elephants and the ducks and the monkeys on the streets. The whales and the dolphins emerged and enjoyed the surface of the oceans. It was a sight to see a bear checking on a home because it was missing its human. The skies has become bluer. I only need to see and hear the children and the teens enjoying the sun. That would be normalcy to me already. NB: Good discussion.

For me, the reality hasn't changed all that much. Politics continues to play a huge role in how people act and think. I live in a generation of people who were not raised to think for themselves. You believe what the media tells you, because you don't or won't take the time to understand the science behind medicine. And, how this virus, is somehow rewriting science? You don't question what you see and assume it to be fact, or you're afraid of what? A virus? A fine? I grew up being tought how germs and viruses work. I grew up asking questions. If you look at what you've been told to do, how much of it are things your parents tried to tell you as kids, that you ignored? You allow numbers to scare you, but do you know where those numbers come from? How data is collected? How vaccines are made and the process in which it takes for them to be considered safe and approved? Not authorized, but approved. Do you know the difference between authorized and approved?

It's good to get the focus away from the scandals of politics and find unity in fighting this virus.

One has to look on positive side if want to stay sane. There are lot of negative things happening which isn't under our control. Have a good day. Take care

It has been very hard and every little step back toward normalcy feels so good.

I read about your country every day (India) and feel awful at what is happening. I'm not sure what caused the virus, but I am sure that with hope and the vaccines including new medicines, we will come out of this and live a new normal. We will get through this!!!

"We must bring unity of spirit and purpose and condemn hatred and division wherever we see it." Would anyone believe that a Politician said this: George Osborne, a British Pollie. We should try to condemn greed, and one-up-man-ship too, and maintain a unity of love.
