I did think of that before I posted. I think though long term (once we are out of this) we will now take threats to humanity much more seriously.
I can only speak for myself:
Personally I've always seen myself as an observer to humanity. I know what's right and I'd like to make it happen but there's so many people trying to get ahead there's no point. The cards are stacked against me and I was scared to fail.
Covid for all its badness has made me realise I can't just observe. Whilst there are people who don't want what's best in power we are in this precarious position where humanity could fail. My hope however optimistic it is, is that people who are good will also realise they have to act and they can't just watch.
As the old saying goes all it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.
That saying has always meant a lot to me and I've always stood by the fact I would stand up and be counted when I was needed; this coronavirus made me realise I was needed right now.
- kube-system 6y agoI doubt that this pandemic will make the world take threats to humanity any more seriously than any of the other pandemics we’ve had. I can’t think of any reason why this one would be different. If anything, we all lucked out with how mild it was, and people are going to be less cautious when a much deadlier virus makes the rounds next time.
- Johnjonjoan 6y agoThe way I see it this kind of global threat has been unprecedented since ww2 and I am also of the belief ww2 did a lot for world peace. We are indeed lucky it's not been more serious. I am not pertaining to know the future and I do admit there is a very high chance I'm being overly optimistic - basically I accept your appraisal of the situation is sadly more probable.
