In the spring of 2020, the world revolves around something that looks like a soccer but is less fun and more contagious. This refers to the coronavirus, the presence of which the print media is trying to capitalize on by having an almost celebrity on almost every page making annoying predictions about what will happen afterwards and when the ball will roll again.
Secular people are assuming the opposite of what devout Christians in the Roman Empire thought more than a thousand years ago when they experienced a plague epidemic. Back then, people believed that the world was coming to an end and gave up all hope, causing the disease to return again and again until the end of the Roman Empire. Today, at the peak of the infection rate, plans are being made for a new beginning, with the only discussion being what will then be part of everyday life - more online shopping, more working from home, more money for care workers?
Despite all the optimism for our entire existence, I do not think that the currently unmistakable murmurings of those responsible about a financial upgrade of the rescuers once the crisis is over will endure. It is more likely that the automotive industry, its shareholders and other money launderers in the banks will be served as a precautionary measure due to their immense systemic relevance. Instead of rewarding those who deserve and need it and are now being celebrated as heroes and heroes and fobbed off with breadcrumbs, they will, as always, turn their attention to those who are already honing their systemically relevant claims. Meanwhile, the nursing staff have enough to do with their patients.
Be that as it may, apart from this misery, the coronavirus period has allowed us to observe that the ordered reduction in physical contact has not particularly disturbed anyone. It seems to me that the iPhone has prepared the ground for what the virus is now forcing us to do, namely to ignore human relationships and reduce conversations to showing pictures on cell phone displays. One of the standard comments in the media is that "nothing will be the same after corona." I believe that the opposite is more likely and that everything will remain and be fixed as it was before and is now.
