About a year ago, people were ready to buy a pack of masks, the availability of which was little, unlike today - where it is available in abundance - about twenty dinars and more, and it was possible, and actually happened, to buy any mask at a high price.
It was not limited to masks and gloves, but the family budget allocated to spending on buying detergents and sterilizers increased, and housewives prepared recipes that were put on (groups) of communication and media platforms in general.
Also, in our past months, our question: (Does anyone know someone who was infected with Corona?) As if the injuries are far away! We even asked each other seriously: (Is there something called “Corona” actually! Or is everything that happens propaganda, illusion and conspiracy?!), and of course we do not forget the story of the chip that is intended to be implanted in us, to “spy” on us!
Today, Corona claims lives daily, and leaves bad effects in the hearts of people who lost loved ones who were yesterday among them and with them, and hardly a street in our cities is devoid of condolences for the deceased in Corona, after he pressed his lungs and exhausted his body, and worried his relatives.
Corona today, in the very near ocean.. (So-and-so has Corona and is quarantined in his house), (So-and-so has Corona and is receiving treatment in the hospital), (So-and-so is on respirators, God is with him).
Go back to the start, the mask is available and cheap, and sometimes it is provided for free, sterilizers have offers! However, wearing a muzzle and sticking to it is very rare, except for what is obligatory in schools and some private and governmental institutions, and once you go out (by pulling it out!) and it is already (worn) under the nose!
Question: Where did the fear and commitment go? Do we, as a people, miss the compromise?! Either exaggeration in exaggeration, or exaggeration in underestimation? Why do we like to rebel and evade our responsibilities as citizens! Sometimes.
