Words to Live by...
Not all these words are new words.
Many we've heard and used over the years but one is new to us all- covid.
Eventually, it will fade into textbooks like "polio" and "leprosy".
Covid has made such an impact on the entire world and in record time.
Hundreds of thousands of people have died.
Hundreds of thousands of people are battling the disease this very day.
More of us haven't had covid and that's good.
We play safe.
Work safe.
We wait it out.
6,783 new cases in Quebec since Christmas Eve.
Incredible.
One day covid will be just a story.
"Hey remember that Holiday Season when we all stayed in and "Zoomed" with our families?"
Here's more words I thought of.
I wrote them down to re-type them here.
There are others but how's this for a start:
mask
cases
isolation
variant
vaccine
closings
layoffs
CERB
Zoom
Moderna
Pfizer
safe
healthy
19
overcrowding
two
metres
physical
distance
social
2021 is a big question mark.
Will the vaccines put covid in its place?
We all hope so.
Will masks be the new fashion accessory even after covid?
Will be be able to celebrate the season next year like we did the years before covid 19?
Will summer 2021 be close to normal? Will theatres open?
Will the PNE, CNE and other huge people exhibitions open again?
Fingers crossed.
Still, with covid killing so many of the earth's population and all the sadness that brings, there's still the crazies shooting and killing people.
It's just nuts.
There's always time for more killing it seems- even in a pandemic.
Right. I forgot that one.
Another world to add to the list.
Pandemic.
Be safe.
Be positive.
Be present.
Be patient.
Soon this will all be a memory as well as a chapter in a book.
