GENERATED FEAR OF COVID-19 HAS MADE ENEMIES OF ALL OF US

I recently watched a season three episode of the Connors, a spinoff of Roseann. For those of you unfamiliar with the series, it is a comedy about a financially struggling family. A widowed father has his two adult daughters and their children living with him in his house. The imposition of Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions has just increased their fight to not fall much further below the poverty line.

In this episode, the girlfriend of the Dan, father, has contracted Covid-19. One of his daughters, Darlene, may have exposed herself to Covid-19; when she realized that she had recently seen Dan's girlfriend, Darlene confided to her family that she may have Covid-19. The family expressed their outrage at her, and Dan said that he would never speak to Darlene again. All ends well because Darlene got tested and proved to be negative.

Yes, it is a TV comedy, but I believe it is imitating reality. Many people have been made so afraid by media coverage, medical reports, and government warnings -- that they have begun to see all other human beings as dangerous enemies harbouring a horrible killer. People are fearing Covid-19 so much that they are projecting this fear and hatred on to others.

Covid-19 propagandist will use inane phrases like "We are separated, but we stand together" or "We are apart, but we are one!" I personally believe that such phrases like those do not at all reflect the harsh reality of what has happened to communities around the world since Covid-19 harsh restrictions have been imposed and supported by so much propaganda.

Covid 19 restrictions are separating people physically, but more importantly, we are being separated socially and psychologically as well. Many people in the world who have been very frightened by the partial truths presented by Covid 19 propaganda, have begun to see others as being potential threats to their lives, carrying a deadly virus that will be a death sentence to anyone who draws near to them. Worse yet, many have become so self absorbed with their own life situation that they are callous toward the fact that the restrictions are causing so much more unnecessary death and destruction.

We have to realize that this state of affairs is unhealthy for society at large and for us as individuals. We must stop being overwhelmed by the fear which supporters of Covid 19 restrictions have insinuated into the very fabric of our society and the most hidden regions of our psyches.

It is difficult to resist such professional brain washing, but let your mind read about the shameful negative effects of Covid 19 restrictions around the world, and let your heart feel for the people of the world who are suffering and even dying because of this impaired view of Covid 19 foisted upon the world by a narrow sighted medical world.

Remember that we must again work together as communities and nations to try to heal the wounds caused by the ill-considered and damaging Covid 19 restrictions.
