It is a fact the Covid-19 virus has changed the landscape of what we knew as normal life forever. Sheltering in place, social distancing are terms that we had never heard of, much less even considered but here we are. It's almost inconceivable that a virus such as this could singlehandedly shut down just cities, countries, province and states but the whole world in general. The Government and global companies are losing billions of dollars and as a result they are panicking and trying to stay functional amidst the pandemic. However so are the people that reside within these countries. We are trying to keep the lights on, feed our families and make it day to day with no cure or vaccine in sight and often times very little hope. The Dow Jones and Nasdaq is very unstable and now we are faced with re-opening the 50 states going from a conversation to a reality.
Common sense says that we have to understand that economic stability is necessary for this country not to go so far in debt that it may never recover. However at what cost? The love of money it is said is the root of all evil and even though some may agree or disagree the one thing that is abundantly clear that by any means necessary the powers that be are willing to sacrifice as many of us they can to prove it. They are playing a dangerous game and at the same time playing on the fears, anxiety and theories of conspiracies to rope people into thinking that opening up the country somehow equates to the pandemic being "under control" and we know that it is far from it.Even in the face of new information that the practice of wearing masks and social distancing seems to be working thousands of people perish on a daily basis.
Yes we all have some sort of cabin fever and yes we crave to be reunited with friends and loved ones, but the normalcy or what we used to call normal is slowly slipping away. Conversely it is hard to deny the fact that because we took the suggested precautions the country is a little safer...just a little. We understand that from a physical perspective all we can think about is this virus, but we can turn a blind eye to the fact that Wall Street is driving this reopening and not only putting people at risk but the potential for a second round this malady to terrorize us rises exponentially.
If the safety of the people were the number one priority we wouldn't be having this conversation, however it is plain to see that is not the case. A large majority of the population will continue to do what is necessary to keep themselves and their families safe. As for the sheeple, well it remains to be seen and how this decision to reopen will affect us as a whole. Stay tuned.
