Sure, it seems like the end of the world is here and we are in some apocalyptic-like era where businesses are co-existing among failed systems that govern our bodies. Now, we have had our fair share of disasters that we’re legit; such as 9/11, Hurricane Sandy and lastly, Maria. But for the year 2020, all you millennial’s and alike, are poorly coping with what we call a pandemic. What was once only a cause for concern in China had quickly become a dire call for help from countries like Italy, Spain & France. We are talking about cases going from 10 to 500 in a matter of hours; one case in which 364 deaths were reported in Italy in a 24-hour period. Are you kidding me!?
Yesterday, I went grocery shopping for one item and decided to browse the aisles to see if people were panic buying or choosing wisely. Sure enough, I banked on panic buying and was correct. Store shelves of paper products and water were wiped out and the only aisle full of products were for dogs, cats and birds. Go figure! I guess the animals are not as worried as we are because they are walking around as though it is just another day!
One may think the end is near or at least, this may be the end of our rope, and I am sorry to break it to you but we are very far from the end. We are in a global crisis — some call it pandemonium, others call it chaos — and others just call it social distancing. Let’s not forget that we live in a society that is impulsive and reactive rather than one that thinks critically and decisively before deciding whether to order everyone to self-quarantine for two weeks. No you will not be on house arrest or have a tracker placed on your persons to determine everywhere you go. We have to act fast and act smart before we continue to react and explode from impulsive combustion.
During this time of crisis, air on the side of caution by washing your hands, cleaning your home, limiting time spent out at stores where large groups may gather in close proximity and most importantly, DON’T stop living your life!
