I Have Something To Say About Coronavirus / Covid19

My parents are elderly and their health is far from perfect. I am in a long distance relationship, and with all those travel restrictions going on I don't know when we will be able to see each other again.

Every has his or her own little story about how Covid-19 is going to mess with their lives. And there is the big story, how it is going to affect humanity and the planet. And regarding this, my feelings are quite positive.

Every day I see and hear birds in an amount I had never seen before. Even though I live in a small city, the air seems cleaner and colours brighter. I believe too that unnecessary consumerism will go down, people (at least many) will realise what really matters in life. Also political changes will be positive, less globalization, more caring about the local product and people.

What I am going to say now may sound shocking, but it is the truth: if my personal circumstances were different, I would not regret what is going on, and think it is a good and necessary event.

I understand what you mean. When I read about how land animals have come out to explore the empty streets and how sea animals have been spotted in the quiet waterways, I smile. The earth has a chance to breathe. Probably nature needs to come out again. She has been quiet for too long.
I have often lamented that quietness doesn't win noise. I'm proven wrong this time. The virus is a silent one. And we're all at its mercy.

@novembermoon This thought is gaining more room in my mind day after day, and it is one of the ideas that keep me going on these days and prevents me from getting down when I see the high personal price many people are paying.

@Cierzo it is hard to see the figures go up day after day. And it is hard when the future looks uncertain. Man may plan but it is God who decides at the end. In the meantime, we just do what we can.

NASA satellite photos showed that the planet is healing itself during this period with reduced economic activities 👍

I’m sorry for the struggles so many are experiencing on so many levels, but I think it’s good to recognize the positive and hope for more of it.
