The survivors

#covid #television 

It was the year 1979 and a drama - or rather a television series, as the ones that rage on TV on demand today - captivated and frightened us all. This is The Survivors, a disquieting and amazing current science fiction serial. A virus, escaped from a Chinese laboratory, infects the world. Few survive, struggling not to succumb in a post apocalyptic, chaotic and barbaric scenario.
Oh yes, even now it seems to be in a film. Masks, assaults on supermarkets, mass escapes from forbidden areas, horrifying images of “pronated” patients in overcrowded and nightmarish recovery rooms.
It is a beautiful and good pandemic, one that has not been seen for a century, and with which, alas, we will have to deal more and more often.
When a species becomes too aggressive and invasive, when it contaminates, heats and destroys the host country, hidden viruses emerge which, I am sure, are the earth's antibodies. The earth defends itself, it eliminates part of the invaders, the weakest and most useless part: the old, the sick, the immunosuppressed.
Yet I think that not all evil comes to harm. Let's say that, from personal experience, I have now made it my motto. We can always find opportunities in difficulties. Meanwhile, we are re-evaluating normal life, everything we did and seemed boring: leaving the house, hugging a child, planning a trip, having dinner in a restaurant, taking a walk. This makes you understand that you were happy even if you did not realize it, that you had something you would now like to return to, that you were free without knowing it.
We re-evaluate what we did and, nevertheless, we must know how to consciously refrain from it. It is not necessary to have an aperitif, no, it is not at all. Until twenty years ago, we didn't even know what it was. And, if we go back forty years, we all dined with the family on Saturday nights
read a book, watch a funny or instructive movie, catch up on slowness, rediscover relationships with family members and social media as means of information and communication and not as recipients of hatred.
Do it without prospects, without deadlines, because we don't know how long it will last, or if and how it will end.

"This makes you understand that you were happy even if you did not realize it"-Yes, happiness is in all the simple, sometimes boring things
