The Covid19 and Fear

The Covid19 19 is as dangerous as the blackouts in London 1940 in WW 2 when Germans were expected to attack in terrible bombardment destroying London anytime. The British government expected destruction from the terrible bombing. They sent warnings for people to change their lifestyle. Yet social life at Restaurants and nightclubs was at a high. People ignored the warnings.

Yet when the bombing started the people were terrified and changed their ways. It was a darkest hour of fear everywhere.

Our pandemic is possibly like that preview. No gov’t agency can predict the future. Our naiveté is as thorough as our unpreparedness.

When we become scared enough, we will change our behavior. The bombing has not yet started.
