Tho my lead paragraph’s observations are but stray thoughts, such words are still worthy of further deliberation. That said, I do find it intriguing how things, unseen, can both enhance and cancel. Fleshing that out, consider how it has been Job No. 1 for TODAY’S unseen, life taking coronavirus to shut down our lungs’ ability to process the unseen, life giving oxygen. WOW, what a war, huh? On top of that, as we move onward (not necessarily with forward momentum), what about our world of TOMORROW?
How would we even know, for sure, whether or not that invisible to the naked eye microbe has forever “left town” or is, instead, merely on hiatus? You know, taking a breather whilst going undercover; whilst having the time of its life “sexing it up”; and, in the process, birthing brand spanking new variants? And WHAT IF one of those “newborns” turns out so uniquely virulent that it can spank the available vaccines into unconditional surrender?
And, upon factoring in how global warming has been melting down eons old, breeding ground glaciers, there’s no telling what horrors await us once these primordial microbes thaw out! Might they even be the kissing cousins of coronavirus-19, itself? Prove fully capable of cooking up, oh, say, a Covid-28 pandemic… or a 26… or, perhaps, even a 24?
One particular thought that’s even more disconcerting is what those of us, who really give a damn, did learned from ol’ 19; i.e, how, even our need to face down a common, deadly enemy failed (miserably so) at mobilizing and uniting humanity; how, instead, this crisis fueled such a politically partisan shitstorm that its tin foll hat, mad hatter proprietors went batshit crazy.
Few of us truly caring souls can ever banish from our collective memory, how, rather than these (mostly Trumpian) bad actors simply complying with the easiest, life saving pandemic protocols (i.e. masking up / social distancing / sheltering at home) they flat-out refused to react responsibly, in a humane, considerate, compassionate manner. Worse yet, to date, they have yet to own up to the fact that they’ve been dead wrong all along.
Who can ever forget how they doubled down whilst stumbling and staggering about their DIY zombie apocalypse; hopelessly consumed by their Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine drugged hallucinations; totally committed to live out their miserable existences within their fantasy fueled world, even if it killed ’em! And they did wind up needlessly killing themselves; their confederates and compatriots, too; to the tune of 1,218,856 fatalities, to date, within America, alone!
Returning, now, to the Daily Prompt’s query…
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?
I can only answer that question with my key question; plus follow-up parting thoughts…
Would it not be daft to ever adapt to the utterly undesirable, unacceptable dystopian society that Covid-19 bred; hell, is still breeding / shall continue to breed till, perhaps, the end of time, itself?
We, as a society can and must do better. I want no part of that abnormal new normal, folks.
Now, before I self-categorize as disgusted, disillusioned and outta here, do consider this still valid, life saving, pandemic shortening advice…
Be humans Vaxxed OR Unvaxxed, We
can still shed and spread the batcrap
crazy contagious coronavirus which,
in turn, spawns new variants; which,
in turn, could, eventually, render the
available vaccines worthless; which,
in turn, will drag out the pandemic’s
needless suffering, illness and death!
HENCE… this easy as pie, cover your
nose and pie-hole/hole-up heads-up:
Stay Publicly / Properly Masked!
Stay Safe at Home!
Stay Healthy!
