Back To Isolation

Uh-ho, is it happening again already?

As you may or may not know, depending on what part of the world you live in, life is getting back to normal in most parts of Europe - or so it had been. We have seen the return of international travel, hence there have been a rush of people down to the usual holiday spots in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal.

The risk involved with things "getting better", especially after such a prolonged period of isolation, is the fact that people become lax and drop the ball a little. All over the getting-better-world, we are starting to see some resurgences in the number of confirmed cases of the virus. Spain is one of such places.

Now anyone returning to the United Kingdom from Spain has to self quarantine since the number of new cases there has become a worry.

Do you want to know a secret?

[Most of these people returning from holiday will not self quarantine. The will also go out and mingle with the general population without wearing any masks.]

In other words, we're screwed. It's already too late, and any government measure now is too little too late. Prepare for #Lockdown2

There's your uplifting, positive post for today :)

Peace & Love,

Adé

I'm betting there will not be another lock down. The powers that be are scared to death of the ramifications of them not being able to collect their taxes. The government powers will be more interested in self preservation, than health.

Hmmm, you may be on to something there. If only this virus gave a damn about power, that might actually have been a good thing. A bunch of higher ups just dropped dead around the world recently.

Here in Romania people are indeed mentally prepared for second lockdown.

Sigh. At least you are ready. Here, people would collapse and break down at the thought of a second lockdown so early. Maybe in November or December, but not now :/

Having mental strenght will pull you out from any adversity!

I’m afraid there’s going to be another round of lockdowns in some countries in Europe.

It's inevitable at this point.

Thank you for that uplifting message! But seriously, I'm not sure why this "life or death" matter doesn't seem to resonate with some people as a "thing."

Lately I've been seeing people who have been beating the "hoax" message and the "it's just the flu" message saying things like "Well, I actually know some elderly people who have been diagnosed, and that is worrisome. It's probably a good idea to go ahead and wash your hands and do that social distancing thing people have been yammering about. Maybe even wear a mask. This appears to be real."

You just want to say, "Do you think there was any other time that might have been appropriate to exercise caution?"
