Where I live we are in Stage 3 of re-opening which is pretty much anything goes, except still recommending social distancing. The library is insane as they still demand masks and are still quarantining books for a week once handed in. Insane.
As we are basically done with COVID 19 I can only wonder if we will look back and shake our heads at how looney the world went over a virus that basically wiped out 1/20th of 1 percent of the world population. On a personal level I get it. We lost a pet yesterday and I’m devastated just about THAT. If someone lost a person definitely to COVID 19 then yeah, I get its horrible. But as far as where society is I don’t get it. I have lost 2 relatives and know of plenty more dying from fentanyl over dose. THAT scares me more than COVID 19.
In a two week period I attended 6 funerals. 2 were COVID death, 1 was a vaccine death, 1 a mysterious infection and 1 was a young man murdered along with his mother by his father.
