      @@1x1HealthyEnergybyAndrew "Europeans brought this virus" True, but only by circumstance. Which is also a true statement wrt to the Chinese (although their food safety regulations and practices are lacking) being the source of this pandemic. Which is why epidemiologists worry so much about outbreaks (as evidence with H1N1 which was first detected on US soil), in that it could happen anywhere, anytime. Sometimes, you just cannot help it and it happens ... so you just have to be prepared for that possibility. And in this pandemic, some are more prepared than others, while others are still in denial.

One could think that we are “oh so modern and developed” but it’s only technology that is developed, what about the way of our hearts? and how we think and NOT appreciate everything we have, or don’t have.

      I keep thinking about that...not trying to justify death but searching for some silver linings and realizing that we are still resilient and inventive people, we’ve been numbed out to each other’s humanity. I believe that society is much like a swinging pendulum, we reach an extreme and it’s at that moment we start to swing back towards center.
      We got to that far point with being out of tune, lacking empathy, being rat raced to death and this slapped up a wall we couldn’t avoid hitting...people are outside enjoying nature for the first time since the nineties?!
      I swear I’m oddly thrilled to hear kids playing outside. I am 42 and over the years I’ve seen kids disappear indoors, nothing could stop it, nothing I thought...but here we are, feeling the effects of being trapped inside so extremely we’ve opted to step outside and look up at the skies.
      It can’t hurt us.
      I’m sure you’re seeing and hearing all the anecdotes about families actually spending quality time together...it’s beautiful.
      We will prevail
