Obviously the lockdown was necessary to slow the virus.
But it seems that now people have lost all perspective and have lost all sense of humanity. Someone says they’re missing their partner,and the response is that they’re just going to have to live with it because “people are dying.”
Someone hasn’t seen their family because they live some way away and are told that they should be grateful they’re not in ICU.
Someone does see their family briefly and they’re told that they’re essentially killing people.
Today I saw a recommendation from someone that all long distance travel should be banned for the foreseeable,but this fails to take into account the families that have been separated by this and the impact it has on their wellbeing’s and relationships.
This isn’t about the doomsayers, we’ve had quite enough threads on those.
But it does seem that people seem to expect that all feelings and emotions should be put aside indefinitely and that you’re somehow unreasonable to want to live any semblance of a human life again.
