JUST A THOUGHT- ON WHETHER COVID-19 HAVE FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED HOW WE LIVE OUR LIVES? PART 1.

'At the point of something phenomenally occurring, our thoughts can tend to react with a certain kind of extremity.  

Which will become moderated as we gain more knowledge about the event and become better at understanding and managing it.'

Covid-19 or Coronavirus has inflicted massive, even catastrophic damage on the intellect and sensibilities of our human species, as well as on our economies. 

Quite clearly, the onset of the virus and its impact on us and our way of life, has probably been somewhat similar to the 'Black Death or Plague' of the Middle Ages. 

Yes, it has not killed as many of the world's population as the Black Death', but our response to it, to trying to prevent it doing so, has probably been of similar cost to our economical and social functioning.

We can imaging our ancestors in the Middle Ages reacting to the catastrophic situation overwhelming them with sickness and death all around them.  

With a sense of feeling that the end of the world, literally, was upon them. They would have been constantly consumed with the fear of death, of themselves and of their families, probably continuously. 

Thinking it during their waking hours, when they do achieve some escape by falling asleep, probably being further tormented in their dreams. 

Of course, whereas we normally escape our nightmares by waking up, waking up would only remind our ancestors of the dreadful reality they were living.
