You know what, screw it, I'll put my neck out there. The following is not directed at anyone nor is it in reply or response to any particular individual. The following is not 100% of my thinking, but certainly a portion of it (how large? I'm not sure).... In a few months, this whole Covid thing will be old news.... that means that diving will be diving as normal, eating out will be eating out as normal, going to the movies will be going to the movies as normal....
Basically: Nothing before has ever shaped the course of human life the way this current "affliction" has....... and, for all intent purposes, has been blown way over board..... life will return to normal... it has to, it always has.... No population can live in fear, no population can proceed as normal under the current conditions, and no condition, past or present, has or will prevent the population from continuing as "normal" for the foreseeable future.....
Yes, it was new, yes it was unprecedented, yes it took its toll (and is likely to continue for a time), but so have other things in history, and so will things further in the future... That's the way it goes! There are debates going on about whether or not this stuff was intentional, or whether or not this stuff was mismanaged, but that's not what I'm talking about, and I'm not about to postulate about such topics here. My only point is that this will blow over, the same as every other event in human history.
