Denial

We will probably look back at 2020 and 2021 and wonder what just happened. Questions will be answered then and one of the answers will probably be this. The virus happened but it was prolonged due to denial. People did not want to accept the fact that such a thing can have such an impact on our human lives. We put a man on the moon, we invented the microchip and so we did not want to be put in a corner by something smaller than an ant. All dreams and ambitions, all big plans and projects, rich and poor, weak and powerful, all pushed into insignificance by a virus. We did not like the idea. Theories of feel good ideas far from reality came up everywhere simply because some did not want to accept but deny. Vaccines came out and denial questioned it.  Technology helped spread the attitude of the people in denial. The reputation of science was tarnished for not having answers. Solutions were not available to our one touch one click solution era so denial enriched itself. It became brave to deny and negative to accept.

Facts and logic say we will fight and overcome this virus but some still don't know there is a fight on. Science gives us a fighting chance but some will not give it a chance. The good thing about all this is that we know we will survive the virus because God did not engineer us to be wiped out by a virus. We will realise our fragile existence and in turn be better to everyone and everything around us.
