I know that this is very scary for all based on what is being reported everyday all day. I must say the media is doing a great job keeping everyone informed and completely on edge. Personally I can only watch but so much. I can't help but think that we have never been this informed about any issue in my lifetime. I hate to be so cynical but I can't help but question everything that we hear. I am now listening to videos from top world epidemiologists and infectious disease doctors about the harm that social distancing can cause and the benefits of building herd immunity especially with children. This is what we do every year with the flu. There is always a season and many get sick but we also spread the virus so we can build immunity and within 4 weeks it is gone. The numbers are the same but we do not react the way we are now. We are prolonging the virus and surely causing the big chance of a resurgence with social distancing and staying away from each other.
After seeing and hearing both sides of this it is my belief that yes, this is a bad virus (not deadly), that needs to be contained for seniors and those with underlying issues and compromised immune systems. We should not allow visitors into nursing homes and hospitals, and avoid events with large crowds. Most of us know that if we are sick during a virus season especially that we should stay home as to not infect others and get well. This has always been the protocol however now it seems that we don't know how to think anymore without referring to the TV and news outlets to tell us what, how and when to do this. Schools should have remained open as well as most businesses. The economic crisis should not have happened. We have caused more of a problem with overloaded unemployment systems and a very large stimulus package just to keep things somewhat manageable. Everyone is now afraid to get close to anyone and our social lives are changed forever. The lack of socialization and financial burdens are causing depression, anxiety, and increased suicides. I know this is the way things are but I find it very hard to just accept and move on. Just know that there is a higher purpose here and we may have no control over that unless we unite and fight back in some way. I hope you will investigate more on your own and see my Facebook page if you would like some of the info that I have seen and shared. Please keep an open mind and look in different directions for all the info.
I know that I am trying very hard to stay positive but I miss my life and very much look forward to getting back to socializing with my golf girls, mahjong girls, yoga class and traveling to see my family. I am sure you all feel the same. I wish you all good vibes and lots of love and good health.
