Just because we're not talking about the virus, doesn’t mean the virus is no longer here, or it’s no longer harmful. Ignoring the fact we’re still in the pandemic, doesn’t mean the virus is gone. The virus is not gone.
Catching the virus repeatedly, becoming chronically ill and struggling to function in our every day, should be our wake-up call. Continuing to keep safe is my wake-up call. That the life I had, is the life I no longer have.
The independent scientists we're telling us in the early days, there will be more viruses. I work on the assumption if there is something obvious that I need to deal with, I deal with it, then the worry goes... and if I can’t find a way through and the worry is still there, I look to find a resolve.
I don’t talk about the fact that I am home all the time, because you'd probably stop listening, but it is very much a concern for those who are high risk and vulnerable, and who care about not catching the virus, and who know they have a lot to lose if they catch it. The virus isn’t done with us, even if we’re done with talking about the virus.
The lack of initiatives isn't an initiative at all. All government initiatives stopped and with a 'get on with your life' attitude with a virus that is still airborne and out there, means there is no 'getting on with life.'
It’s not clever to ignore something that can cost us our health, even more so when we have been told there will be more viruses to come. The world may be ‘finished’ with talking about or dealing with the virus, seeking to ignore its very existence, but it’s not done with us.
