Second wave

[Mortblanc]

Yes, that was quite the rant, but preaching to the choir, all six of us.

It does not matter real or man made, handled properly or mishandled. The results will be what they will be and we are simply trying to get past this bump in our lives which may or may not be one of the upcoming generation's defining factors of life.

My grand parents had their lives shaped by the Great Depression. My well educated and comfortable middle class grandparents crashed to poverty and homelessness and spent the rest of their lives recovering from the ravages of the GD. They never did, and carried the inner feeling of being robbed by fate to their deaths. My parents lived in the shadow of the physiological trauma of growing up under the care of people that had utterly and totally failed financially due to absolutely nothing in their control. I still carry that legacy as a "prepper". My entire life we ruled by the ups and downs of a government controlled economy in the wake of the GD.

The things we are living through now may be the turning point for the next 100 years of life on this planet. What can government do, what is allowed, what is normal family communication, how do people relate to others in small groups. Not just who raises our food, how do we source it and do we cook it on gas electric or blazing camel dung.

For the next 100 years people are going to be referring to the time "back before Covid 19".
