Corona virus and its affect so far…

…..While others talked of the razor wire wrapped around their souls, or staring out the window with a being expression that showed no trace of desire, remorse, impatience, or resignation, just temporary abeyance, like a person waiting for the ends on an invisible clock to reach an appointed time…. James Lee Burke

I feel like we’ve reached this weird apocalypse. This virus business is serious. There’s so many deaths around the world and we have no cure. It’s like living in a world with a weird army from another planet and we have no army to protect ourselves. It’s like reading one of the science fiction novels that I never liked.

I cannot believe in 2020 the food shelves are empty in the UK. I live in Spain and I haven’t seen an empty shop shelves myself yet. We have been in a lockdown for over a week already. People are dying. Other countries like the UK are not taking this virus seriously because they haven’t reached over thousands of deaths. When will they take it seriously? What does it need to happen?

I cannot believe a life in the UK isn’t valued. People who continuously go out don’t value human lives. It’s sad to see in today’s world. One would think that people had been through wars would understand the value of a life but it doesn’t seem the penny has…
