Someone did a poll this week and the topic of Covid being a serious crisis came up. So....NINE percent of people still consider it a serious crisis. 91-percent of people don't rank it as a serious crisis at this point.
To be honest, from about early 2021....I didn't really rank it as a crisis. This came about a week after my own episode with Covid.
As a kid, I had pneumonia and I have a high respect for that bout. Covid didn't match up in terms of strength or character.
What does this nine-percent number indicate?
Three observations:
1. These are probably the people who still wear masks, dab alcohol on their hands after each store visit, and never allow cousin-Frank, aunt-Jacky, or neighbor-Omar to enter the house.
2. To be honest, if you asked the right question....these are permanently 'fried' people who will never get over the anxiety of Covid.
3. For the remainder of our lives....this nine-percent group will have broken off and become a non-participating segment of society. It's almost like a religious cult group.
I'm not saying this is a big negative....it's just the remains of the crisis....which can't evaporate or diminish any further. Give them the safety and security they desire....wishing them 'luck'.
The rest of us? We'll move on.
