History repeats itself.
So what can we learn from history about COVID19. Do not hurry back to the old life too soon
More questions than answers.
When can small family gatherings occur?
What about charity fund raisers, weddings and other moderate gatherings?
When can we have public gatherings again?
Medically- how soon can we expect a vaccine??
Keep washing our hands. Keep sneezing and coughing into our sleeves. Do not touch your face.
Will masks become trendy.
Gloves were a fashion statement after the Spanish Flu. Queen Elizabeth II has always worn gloves to public events.
History has had the good, the bad and the ugly. Events that haunt us to this day.
History teaches us about discrimination. It teaches us we like to blame people. It teaches us racism can be alive and well not nice.
History teaches us to find ways to be kind and treat others as equals.
History teaches us that often we think it is survival of the fittest. So if the old or infirm or developmentally challenged or compromised babies/children or whoever die than it was meant to be!!
The healthy and fit should survive. What happens though when so called healthy people die for no apparent reason from COVID-19 then what??
It seems trite but COVID-19 will become history at some point. How we act and do and feel will be part of our history!!
Will it be a string of Instagam and tik tok and facebook songs and all the stuff we have done at home to cope??
Some say there will be a better world!! But what if you liked your old world?? What if you do not cope well? What if someone you love dies?
What if??
