Corona United.
Everywhere you hear the same message,
You cannot avoid it.
Everybody is now saying,
We will go through it together.
It's a difficult time,
But with our united power,
We pass through all these troubles to get out stronger.
But do you feel it's really true?
Following the news is giving you a depression as it continues about the same troubles of death and diseases.
The most significant event is the constant pressure of governments that we must be united,
Be alone in your own house.
Before lockdowns,
There were an increasing amount of lonely people.
These people are all told to become more lonely as their only connection tool became a computer or phone.
It's expected that after the crisis,
There will be thousands of people with psychological problem,
And we face an increase of people with behavioral troubles.
We can go on and on with those negative facts and information.
Look at TV,
They will go on for another 24 hours a day,
And it seems never to stop.
Then did Corona really unite or separate us?
What happened is that a force,
Which is the government,
Told us to withdraw in our private quarters and do not come out into the open as otherwise we people will die.
Suddenly most people of all colors,
Religions,
Philosophies,
Or political direction followed the orders of the government and did stay inside.
For the first time in world history,
We did obey orders to save others.
No doubt it is a very unique moment in time that people did understand the need of a regulation and followed them.
Answer if Corona did unite us is yes,
It did,
Unintentionally.
Corona had even another effect that most people did not see.
The world was in the brink of a war,
A world war.
USA and China were on a confrontation course and it could only end in a war with all those current leaders.
The event of Corona did not break the tension,
But took away the opportunity and the need of war and this saved millions of lives more than prevention did.
There will be an economical disaster and many companies will go bankrupt and people get fired.
But we were living in a time where a lot of companies were living on borrowed money.
They did not have reserves nor the expertise of entrepreneurship.
Also a lot of other people are living in credits,
Which now comes to an end and they will fall back in poverty.
Social distancing,
Different behavior and attitude toward physical contact and respecting opinions become more important.
On the other hand,
We see an increase of social ignorance and disrespect of rules and regulations and we are confused about it.
We did enter a different time where the rules and regulation can change with the minute as there are so much uncertainties around.
This unstable and unknown situation brings some people together while others take more distance.
New groups are formed with different social and economical labels,
But we are looking for the united parts of the effect of the virus.
Our first part of awareness is the fact that obedience can work as a prevention and a tool of power.
The second part is the blessing of all our communication tools,
Which did enable us to contact with each other in nearly every way.
As a third important issue,
We learn that we need hobbies and interests,
Others that only work to pass our time.
The fourth point is that we realize that our real life is local and not international.
Especially this local part is clear,
Since we are not allowed to travel and we should stay on a short travel distance from our home to avoid being locked in a strange place for a long time.
This will affect tourism for a long time.
It is my question,
And I think for many other people,
Why people should travel to a far country to lay down on a beach or spend in a music park and places for weeks without interacting with any local.
Is that really needed?
Tourism has become not only a common good,
But also a wasteland of resources such as food,
Accommodation and environment.
Maybe it is this crisis that will lower the excessive travel and destruction of environment.
Pandemics spread faster by international travel,
But they are not the cause of it and they do not stop them.
Because history proves that pandemics will rule the world anyway,
But slower can be more and faster active in preparing.
During the pandemic,
A lot of people got time to think,
Think about the real needs in life,
The value of it and what it means to the environment.
At least that is what we hope for.
Even the Corona United thinking reaches a 10 plus percent of all the people we did have peace with Mother Earth.
Beside this,
We should be more aware of local consuming.
Travel and transportation stop made clear that some products were no longer available or rose in price due to the stock shortage.
Many productions should return to our neighborhood or countries at least on a short trip distance for our own safety.
Beside that we can set up community farming where the farms are adopted by a group of citizens who pay the salary for the farmers and then they buy their products for reduced prices.
So we support our local farms.
At home,
We should learn to grow some food inside the house,
The balcony or the roof.
Get in touch with nature and of course fill our bellies.
Direct supply of food will become an issue soon again and you should be prepared.
Corona was the first in a long row of diseases that will become stronger by the years and affect our whole economic system.
We should learn from Corona and being united is more important to survive as in the starting days of mankind and we must learn again to be self-supporting in as many ways as possible.
The future is bright when we look at it from the positive side.
Many people work in self-sufficient economic as sustainable environments and now these models should become nationwide or even worldwide.
People who can take care of themselves are generally more happy and often also more peaceful.
The seeds have been planted in many places in the world.
Some have grown into maturity while others are still in fetus position.
But all are alive and can show the world the new direction we have to go.
Seen in this way,
Corona can be a blessing.
With all respect to the people who lost their lives,
I hope we find that Corona may be the tool to unite many of us.
Thank you for listening.
