COVID-19

---

Since the media has started covering the story on COVID-19, otherwise known as Coronavirus, I have felt conflicted whether I wanted to write a piece on this subject. I didn't feel like I had enough of a personal experience with the issue, and I felt that forming my own opinion from only media's reports was foolish and dangerous. As time progressed, I started receiving news of firsthand experience with individuals actually living in the epicentre of China, and all of the correlating information got me thinking.

Disclaimer: I want to make it known that these are merely just my ideas on the subject, and it's understandable everyone has their own theories etc. I don't discredit anyone's ideas; however, I'm not one to solely listen to media's propaganda.

Idea #1: This is serious

In the beginning, I'm sure all of us thought, hey, it's just a virus and only the elderly and immune deficient will battle with this pandemic. Well, were we ever wrong. To date, over 250,000 people from 185 countries have been affected by the Coronavirus, and the numbers are staggering higher than ever before. Though most of the cases of fatalities are relating to the senior age tier, the virus doesn't discriminate. I'm currently in Vienna, Austria, and things are progressively getting worse and worse here. Last week I was on the phone with a friend of mine and during our lengthy conversation regarding philosophy etc, we realized how fast everything came about here in Austria. He mentioned that in the matter of 48 hours, government officials closed all shops, cafes, restaurants, etc, besides necessary businesses such as grocery stores and gas stations. We are on a forced quarantine for two weeks, and even now we are only allowed to be out on the streets if we have to do something unavoidable. I support the government's decisions to regulate such human activity, since it's keeping people away from trouble and possible virus infection. Since Monday's newly imposed restrictions, there's over 97,500 people unemployed in Austria ALONE. The government has extended quarantine measures for another three weeks, until April 13th, in order to slow down the spread of the Coronavirus. Globally, the economy is tanking. Markets are down and the world is preparing for a global recession. If someone told me 6 months ago that gas would be less than a euro a litre, people would be fighting over toilet paper, leaving the house would be a privilege, and that I would be locked inside my house trying to escape a pandemic, I would have never believed a word. Things are only getting progressively worse, but it is up to us to do our part. Quarantine yourself, practice social distancing, buy only what you need, and spread positive messages to those around you.

Idea #2: COVID-19 is more than what it seems

I can't stress this idea enough. This is a pleading message for all of those glued to their tv's and phones: DON'T TAKE EVERYTHING AT FACE VALUE. Stop the hysteria and panic - it's absolutely unnecessary. It is absolutely imperative that we all take the information given to us with a grain of salt. I know most of us have been getting our confirmed case numbers from the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Centre online, but please note that this is not the whole story. I have received reports that the numbers shown are merely the ones actually reported, not all the cases. Looking at research done on the numbers, there is only a limited number of test kits available for citizens across the globe. Many cases are overlooked due to the lacking number of test kits, therefore not giving an accurate number of those infected. But... what I'm really trying to get at here with this idea, is that there is definitely more to this story than just a pandemic. What is really going on behind the scenes? I personally do not believe that one person had eaten a bat and got the whole world sick. Studies have shown that the rate of infection isn't mathematically correct - at least naturally. In summation, something is off. There is allegations that the virus is a form of biological warfare, which is an idea that makes sense to me. Tensions between the US and China have grown immensely over the years, and perhaps this was a breaking point between governments and this was a form of retaliation. We will never know for sure, but it's a valid idea. Another idea that has been circling around is the conspiracy of many CEO's stepping down due to Epstein's ratting out. CEO's of Disney, Tinder, Hulu, Harley Davidson, IBM, T-Mobile, LinkedIn, MasterCard, and even Bill Gates of Microsoft have all stepped down from their respective duties. It is said that behind the scenes of the Coronavirus theatrics, many powerful people are getting arrested due to their involvement with child stealing, torture, and human trafficking rings. Google has lifted censors on various sensitive subjects such as 9/11 truths, the Clinton Foundation and child trafficking, Podesta Art, Illuminati, and Project Mockingbird to name just a few. Personally, I don't know if I believe in this conspiracy, but it's definitely something to consider since again, we shouldn't take everything at face value. (Note: if I have a mysterious overdose or get into a tragic car accident, y'all know why lol).

Going back to the topic of health and the Coronavirus, I can't say that I'm afraid of contracting the virus, but I am afraid of something totally different...

Personally, I'm not afraid of the virus' implications on healthy; however, I am afraid of the future effects of the virus on humanity and daily life. Life will never be the same, and this I know for sure. I believe that we will see an escalated trade war with China, and a pullback of essential products to allied countries and America will accelerate. I also think that more people will want hardened borders, and they will argue this is not about racism, it is about defending public health - which I do think is a great idea. Overall, I like to call this time period "The Great Awakening", as so many of us will have opened our eyes to just another degree of what the world is really like.

Idea #3: This is not racism

Ok, this one has really been getting on my nerves. Lately I've been seeing an outpour of posts complaining about people's racist manner towards each other. I completely disagree with almost all of these posts. In my humble opinion, I think people are absolutely immature if they can't accept that the virus came from China. If the virus was started in Canada, and they named it the Canadian Virus, I wouldn't classify those calling out Canadians, racist. It's a fact, and it's accuracy. People need to see this for what this really is, and understand geography. I am not discrediting the people who are harassed because of their Chinese ethnicity, but the virus began in their country. Not all Chinese people are to be blamed for this tragedy; however, looking at the history of the Wuhan "Wet Market", the conditions are appalling. People argue that North American animal facility conditions are no better, but I whole heartedly disagree. I have spoken someone who has visited the Wuhan Market, who is Chinese, and who has only spoken of the atrocities festering there. The conditions to any North American would be unfathomable. In their last days, animals to be sold at this market are confined to small cages where there are usually in their own sweat, blood, and excrements, before being sold and killed. Hygiene is almost non existent and there is little to no regulation on cleanliness. In the 1970's farmers were able to sustain private farms, where they were able to breed exotic animals and this trend came about. It became a normality. The Chinese government encouraged such farming of exotic animals because it was feeding the most destitute of societies at the time. The government saw exotic animals as a product of the state - supporting farmers who were breeding and selling these animals. Today, the Chinese government banned the sale of exotic animals; however, I'm not sure this will be the way to stop the sale of these creatures. More steps need to be taken to ensure the protection of people from possibly deadly outbreak due to the sale of exotic animals - let's be real, just because it's illegal doesn't mean it won't continue to happen. Again, people need to understand that history and facts is not racism.

As much as everything sucks right now, I think we all need to stay positive and see the silver-lining in all of this. I posted a photo of Venice on my instagram yesterday, and mentioned that amidst all the hurt and tragedy we are all experiencing right now, we should all take a moment of reflection. How beautiful is it that for the first time in years, the Venice canals are crystal clear? Dolphins are appearing in Italy's waterways. Nature has just hit its reset button. In every cloud there's a silver lining, and just that makes me so hopeful.

Let's all take a deep breath and realize everything is going to be ok in the end, and if it's not ok, it's not the end.

Stay safe my friends xo
