RE: An absolutely abnormal new normal

The virus manifests itself differently on each person, depending primarily on how strong the body is (or not) and on the chronic diseases you have. Because my wife is heart failure, hypertension, the risk is high for severe complications. It was a very difficult ten days for her, but fortunately we managed to treat ourselves at home and avoid the disaster in the hospitals.
The symptoms are lack of strength, general body aches, lack of appetite, insomnia and even cerebral disorders, hallucinations, lack of understanding ... a panic that overwhelms you. Lack of smell and taste. Fear of hospital, intensive care ... before fear of death. Okay, we're over 67 years old, these are just the symptoms of being able to stay home. Worse than those hospitalized.

Young people, of course, get over the disease much easier, there are probably many who don't even know they had it ... but the risk exists, I know a few young people, men, who have died! Fast and unexpected. If we can accept that many of the elderly die mainly due to old diseases (but "helped" by covid) ... for the young it is serious.

Of course, in a totalitarian society, which provides the strong and healthy man, for evolution, progress and prosperity one can choose the Swedish version, escape who can, as in the evolution of species in nature. He would not have earned so much from certain corporations that produce protective materials and pharmaceuticals, but he would certainly have won funerals!

I am glad that today's human society has chosen solidarity, equal care for all regardless of age or health. Even if the costs are enormous and will certainly slow down the road to well-being, as for many it will be heavy losses. It is a difficult shock for humanity but it is not known if, in the long run, it cannot bring benefits.

Sorry to hear that and hope you'll both get better. I still don't like the force with which the safety measures are imposed. There should be an individual choice and also more support from government rather than fines. If masks can protect people why don't they give free masks instead of fines?

Of course, everyone is free to believe and act as they see fit. I believe that the law must be obeyed. From the Romans onwards it is a fundamental principle. Otherwise it can be dictatorship or anarchy.
Why don't we look at the traffic. I think there are many who believe that their freedom is violated if they are not allowed to drive in the opposite direction, to cross the red light ...

I hope that this situation ends as soon as possible and that we forget about these bad times.
