The things that COVID 19 made clear

1. United States is not the world's leading country.
2. China won the 3rd world war without firing a missile and no one could
handle it.
3. This situation is a wakeup call to identify everything that is
important to us.
4. Prevention is stronger than cure. Prevention saves more lives than
acting at the last moment.
5. Health professionals are worth more than a footballer
6. European nations are not as educated as they appear .
7. We are not mistaken when we ask for more hospitals "and less war".
8. Children occupy a privilege in life.
9. Oil is worthless in a society without consumption.
10. Death does not distinguish race, colour, or social state
12. Social networks bring us closer, but it is also the means to create
panic
13. Now we know how animals feel in zoos.
14. There are those who earn millions and do not serve humanity.
15. Children are now educated as free thinkers by their parents
16. We started to get it that shaking hands and kissing are not necessary
17. Humans are the real virus on the planet.
18. The planet ?? regenerates quickly without humans.
19. More should be invested in health rather than festivals and parties.
20. Social media influencers have no real influence.
21. Older generations can be wiped out sooner than we know it. Connect
with your elders.
22. Working from home is very possible, unnecessary meetings are now
obsolete
23. Luxury items are not a necessity to live.
24. Love the neighbours always
25. Teachers have a higher value than people think.

the thing is , hopefully when this is all over do we learn by our mistakes or do we just go back to how we were .. this is a wake up call to the entire population of the planet ,it all boils down to greed really .. for most people it doesnt matter how much u have u always want more.
here we are bitching and moaning about being stuck in our houses for a while, or being isolated in a 5 star hotel etc .. but u know what its not so much the poor and and under privaliged that are dying in 3 rd world countries .. its us ! .. hows that for karma
USA 400,323 cases to date +33,319 cases today 12,837 deaths to date+1,966 deaths today ... today has seen another huge spike in certain countries . we arent over this by a long way .

We are taught that we need to make money in order to be termed succesful. There is a very good saying..."I've been rich and I've been poor, and rich is better.”

Some people actually do break on through to the other side.
How about this bloke?

Nice story but not for me. You can point to people like Bill gates who give away their 90 billion dollar fortune or our own Twiggy Forrester who is very generous. These folks continue to generate and give it away...i dip my lid

Very good, I genuinely laughed out loud.
I bet you wouldn't mind a hot lady who was happy to eat a fatbat though.
