Personally speaking, I am guilty of wanting answers and neat conclusions, which obviously is impossible given the complexity of this situation.
I think we are, as a species in our media driven world somewhat conditioned to the TV series format where in the Bill / CSI / insert procedural programme of choice there is a problem, an investigation and a conclusion where justice prevails, lessons are learned and life goes on. As I say, I am guilty of this myself, and as each day passes and things seem to escalate I feel the sense of helplessness growing - yes, I can and will do what is currently recommended to help prevent spread, but the feeling that there are things going on we don't know is most insidious.
My analytic brain concludes that this is a by product of our global information highway - a double edged sword indeed. I don't want to be "obsessed" but at the same time, I don't want to be blindsided by the speed of developments - so obviously I am practising balance as much as possible. But underlying jitteriness seems inevitable.
Even my very level headed Mum who scoffs at the conspiracy theories has been muttering about something else going on behind the scenes - that's a benchmark for me of the psychological effects of the situation overall. We chat about it relatively lightheartedly at present....
We already have nudge units designed to modify human behaviour to improve social and economic outcomes, and this must be providing a smorgasbord of data for them to predict and steer future campaigns.
I am just observing and hoping, and singing my four "Hey Nows" when I wash my hands.
Best wishes to everyone, everywhere.
