Times have changed. A time where we should appreciate being healthy and well – being alive, instead we've become trapped within the confines of our minds, in the throws of a pandemic.
Following Covid-19 'rules'
We’re in a pandemic, a time when common sense should prevail, a time where we should be thinking about and putting others first – by following the rules.
Masks Protect
The UK Government's own slogan, ‘my mask protects you, your mask protects me' is true. Masks in a pandemic saves chronic illness and lives. It is important to wear masks in public places. We’re living in a time where we are enduring a global crisis.
The Pandemic and Support
The pandemic should be about support. There will be many of us mentally and emotionally trying to find ‘normalcy.' Our existence and coping strategies have changed. We need to change moving forward. We should stay focused and in control of us doing our part to help reduce the virus and support one another. Governments need to take the lead, a lead that is in our best interests.
Living with Autism in the Pandemic
In the pandemic and living with autism I have more uncertainty and stress, a life of mental repetition made worse because of the pandemic. We all need to find ways to adjust into our lives, into our 'new normal' to help those who need help. We need to come together, stronger and more focused than we have ever been.
Conclusion
It is during these times, we have lessons to learn. The pandemic should be about us working and supporting one another to help reduce it and its effects, so we can all live and get back to a more 'normal life.'
We are slowly coming to the daunting realisation that Covid_19 is an unpredictable disease that we know very little about and which will involve us in a very long journey, before we can experience anything resembling our former life.
Minimising the spread of the disease is our collective responsibility. Governments must enforce containment strategies and the public must follow medical advice and apply common-sense to their daily routines.
It is understandable to have feelings of worry and anxiety and until we see real progress and a worldwide response leading to sustained drop in infections and death rates, we are all at risk and must behave accordingly.
Thank you. Yes, we must all do more to take responsibility and to understand the importance of the difficulties we collectively face. Working on our own, or not working along side the pandemic, doing as we please, will mean more untimely deaths.
The virus isn't going anywhere and we must all be vigilant and work together. Governments must all work together. Collectively they must make sure measures are in place.
The country is immaterial. What's important is they work together to protect its citizens, but we must be sensible and vigilant too.
Life definitely changed completely pretty much overnight and it is definitely a new world that people are having a hard time adjusting to.
For me, this is the world I grew up in where we had to learn very quickly and adapt just to survive, so I'm used to it. The reality is that I haven't had much of a life to begin with, so a lot of things are new to me.
I'm trying to learn how to enjoy things that most other people take for granted, especially with the way things are right now.
Yes, it did change overnight, a new world, a difficult world and I agree with you, most of us will be having a hard time adjusting, others simply don't care to adjust.
It is only when we meet with difficulties that we begin to realise the life we had that's gone that we took for granted. We never think about our lives, until our lives change. We then begin to realise how privileged we were with the life we no longer have.
