How will we know when this Corona virus crisis is over?
When will we be absolutely sure that it is safe to go out and about in public again?
When the politicians say so? When the doctors say so? When the Employers say so?
No. I believe that we will know when it is finally and truly safe again to run and play and shop and dine and congregate and mingle among one another when the athletes say so…and by that I mean when the PROFESSIONAL athletes say so.
Almost all of today’s professional athletes are millionaires and almost all of today’s professional sports team owners are billionaires and as such have access to their own professional doctors, lawyers, nutritionists, specialists of all kind and manner, and no doubt, medical test kits too! (of all kind and form… no doubt either)
No professional athlete will take to the field or court or rink or arena or stadium and jeopardize their livelihood, fame, fortune, family and health without the say so and approval of their entire entourage. And no owner will open his or herself up to class action lawsuits by exposing thousands of fans to their prized athletes (not to mention to one another) and become responsible for creating another pandemic… unless they are 100 % absolutely, positively, certifiably sure that it is safe to do so.
So when you hear the words “Play Ball!” and actually see the professionals playing ball then you will know that it’s safe to go “back in the water” or anywhere else that you want to go. Until then I say we’re all on our own as to what we want to do, or think we can do, even after the “authorities” give us the all clear.
So beware, be safe, Good luck and Godspeed to everyone! Keep your distance and protect yourself and loved ones as best you can. And big thanks to all of those who make the great sacrifice of caring for the stricken in hospitals and healthcare facilities around the country and thanks also to those who are still working in essential jobs on a daily basis while millions of us can only stay at home…and wait….and wait.
My one concern is not the virus, itself. For those who I love who are afflicted, they are those who I care for, when I’ll not think much of myself.
My one concern is when this virus is finally concluded, that we won’t erase the habits of “distancing” within a couple of years. This world is already engineered around division, and to create a habit out of this disease for more division, is something I worry for.
What is interesting is when those who can create a Police State out of this, something Orwellian in nature, will force everyone into isolation. Isolation is not ever something that controls thought. In fact, isolation encourages thought. Many upon the list of the greatest minds we’ve ever had, were indeed loners. They observed all around them, and felt the most searing pain out of anyone. It is because they carried the weight of what the world suffered, and dreamed of alleviating it. If not to make it good, then at least better.
I do adore how Mother Nature can creates these backlashes upon those who think can control her. It’s most always that arrogance creates the opposite result of what was intended by the arrogant person.
