With my fructose-intolerance, my health is twitchy anyway, as I have to check every ingredient of every food-particle I take into my mouth and am not always as successful as I would like. So a further health crisis is not the best news for me, nor is it for my whole family.
I have older parents I care for very much and a sister with family, who has her own special health issues, so I need to be very careful not to bring home a virus that could kill us all.
But what astonishes me so much about the whole CORONA discussion is, that people take it so lightly that they might become collective murderers.
This aspect is completely missing from the whole debate about the virus.
I partially can understand such a carelessness in countries that have the death penalty, like the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Israel and many others around the world, as their citizens are collective murderers anyway, as the state does the killing in each of their citizen's name.
But with CORONA, that responsibility now directly falls to each single individual and is reliant on their behavior. The accusation of 'murder', 'manslaughter' or at the minimum 'failure to render assistance' falls to each and every one of us, who behaves irresponsible.
My early argument during the lock-down in Spring this year was, that if we could safe one single life with the quarantine, it already was worth it. But all around looked at me strangely and certainly thought me crazy.
But to turn the argument around and say, we did nothing and one person died because of that, we all are responsible for that death equally and consequently should go to prison for that because of our active participation in killing him, at least under 'normal' morally intact circumstances.
But you see, that is the point:
We no longer - or never did - live in morally intact circumstances.
What surrounds us is not the effort to do right, but to gain the most.
Crises always mean more money for a few when others suffer. May that be war or any other crisis in the world.
So it is no wonder that conspiracy theories flourish, though they are so far off the mark that they are laughable. They are a result of envy, not of some knowledge and looking behind the world's glittering surfaces.
No, the ones ruling behind the scenes and making fortunes right now are not those who out of a sense of responsibility for humankind began warning of risks to the world population years ago and invested their own money to support the only available, halfway trustworthy world-spanning organizations.
No. Follow the money flow and you come much closer to the true culprits or the error of the world and its monetary system(s) right now. Though they are experts in hiding their traces, as they are with their fortunes and non-existent taxes.
The culprits and profiteers of the crisis make a fortune, while the majority of the population suffers and plays their game like well trained puppies, not having the brain to question the true motives and interests leading their propaganda and mis-information.
Becoming the puppet-on-strings of intentional murderers, as for those well-planned and selfish actions 'failure to render assistance' or even 'manslaughter' do no longer apply in a morally correct world, should be impossible in an enlightened and well-educated world.
But that is the next problem we currently face:
We no longer are 'a well-educated world'. (Or were we ever?)
We are a world of 'experts' and 'specialist', where nobody has the overview to understand any longer what is going on around us.
What, for example, does a programmer know about viruses? He thinks them to be a computer problem and not all viruses can effectively be caught and the fight against them is an ongoing process.
Well, in a way, he is right. But his life never is endangered by the 'usual' viruses he encounters. Also, his fight has nothing to do with the hard way to a vaccine in real life.
So neither can he judge the virus correctly, nor contribute to its destruction, except perhaps for providing programs that count and calculate results for laboratory technology.
But let's see what doctors can do. They are trained to hand out medicine or medical procedures to illnesses they have learned to recognize following a certain systematic.
But does that apply or help here?
The virus has new and changing or varying symptoms, making the detection difficult and requiring special, newly developed tests from laboratories.
Doctors neither can contribute to the fight, nor to the laboratory research for a vaccine. They only can - and are reduced to - collect data and observe the severely ill, as they still don't have an effective medication to fight the illness itself.
So, if we can exclude 'virus specialists', but also 'doctors', who should care for our health, who now in the world do we set our hopes on to rescue us from the virus?
The pharmaceutical laboratories!
Privately owned businesses, now getting major private investments and state funding around the world, to rescue the population and win the run for a functioning vaccine.
Now, fortunately, at least in some countries, state funded university laboratories take part in the run for the best vaccine, but mostly can't compete with the highly financed private laboratories of the pharmaceutical industry and have been bled out for the best inventions over decades.
But first of all, it is a run for the money as well as the fame and it leaves a bitter taste, at least for me, that the public interest is treated so negligently to leave it to capitalism and local governments with their individual lobbyism, to decide over the well-being of the world population.
Hopefully, future generations will find a better way to handle their survival.
Best of luck !
