The Impact of COVID-19

BastSenior Contributor

The Impact of COVID-19

I reside in the contangious state, lepers we are now believed to be. I question the efficacy of stringent control legislation & the resultant degregation of humanity.

I question the mantatory wearing of masks & have reviewed any supposed "evidence" that is now being proclaimed.

The contraditions are increasingly implausible, wearing a face mask that is tokenistic, provides no protection whatsoever, just maybe some level of containment from a person with symptoms - the common cold, ick.

However, if you sneeze or cough, your germs will travel 15 metres, we all have a wondrous immune response, the first 24 hours is transmittable to others.

I am watching & endeavouring to support the Mental Health of others as we continue to crash & burn.

I continue to reflect & consider the human capacity for resilience.

Perhaps this a return to innocence & mastery or is it a revocation of life. Found so deeply for me in Where The Wild Things Are, 1963. Enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkLal37ozoE

@Bast

We don't view Victorians as leper's. We have many friends and relatives over there and want everyone to stay safe. We feel for you and hope things will be better soon.

Take care
