Since the initial shock of how much this little virus has turned our lives upside down, there is a new mood.
Anger.
Sad, mad, glad but anger.
Those of us who are trying so hard to follow all the rules are getting tired of those who don't.
It's like drinking and driving. No matter how many messages are conveyed there are still infractions.
No Easter. No Passover. Staying away from loved ones. A sacrifice.
Then we hear of gatherings in the park or parties or just not giving a damn.
Staying positive is hard when all of us know people who have been so impacted by this situation.
Yes we want to thank the doctors and nurses but there are so many people doing so many wonderful things too.
The parent trying to home school online. Trying to be a parent, a worker and now the teacher.
Or the philosophers trying to say what we will learn from this and it will be a better world.
Well the domestic violence rate is up. So the Social Workers will be out in great force too.
With Mental Health at stake, will there be a higher suicidal rate if it is not recognized.
Yes there will be PTSD. But let's help and recognize it now.
Anger at the fact that none of us are responsible for the virus. Not from too much sugar or lack of exercise or overspending. It came from another area of the world where the government there follows different rules. And did not give a crap about the rest of the world. But we must be politically correct.
Yes anger can be a defense for sad.
But anger can just be anger. A feeling of being fed up. And please we know we need to wash our hands. Quit treating us like children.
