Isn’t it about time that people began to take COVID-19 a bit more seriously?
Some of my friends still go into the office every day, even though they’re instructed not to. They sit closely together and…to be honest, they genuinely believe they won’t get it.
This situation is reminiscent of the early days of AIDS. People thought, ‘It won’t happen to me…’ – but guess what? It does happen, and this is happening.
While I type this, there is a gathering (though it’s small, it’s still a gathering)…it’s absolutely mad…
I’ve got to mention that we’ve been kept updated on every government action and yes…we’re all growing quite weary of it – I don’t mean to sound like a spoiled child, but you see, during any major crisis like this one, we can become a bit indifferent.
To illustrate my point, if four people died from it in one day, that news would be monumental…and we might pay more attention to the warnings we’ve been given. But because it’s become ‘big news every day’, it’s like we’re somewhat…meh about it.
You can criticize the government if you like (after all, it’s a free country…) but they’ve actually done quite well with this. Sure, there were some missteps such as the voting at the poles in Queensland. Some foolish person on TV claiming it was safe to vote…what an idiot…
There is one positive aspect of the media coverage since COVID-19, mainly that it isn’t about cars crashing into houses or houses catching fire. Honestly, I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but that happens every week…same story over and over… and I do not miss it at all.
After the Corona Virus is behind us, we’ll have to readjust to cars crashing into houses, houses burning, etc., etc.
