When I consider the effects of COVID on man, I can’t but thank God that the braggadocios nature of humanity has been nipped in the bud.
At least for now!
Man has been effectively demystified. Indeed, it’s apparent that a third force, which I identify as God, is moving through the entire globe.
As scientific as we are, isn’t it curious that we’ve not been able to find a cure to this raging plague? It’s been so bad that some have decided to name 2020 after the scourge.
I wouldn’t know which area of life the plague hasn’t affected. Schools have been shut down. Places of work have been reduced to working from home. Restrictions have been placed on globe trotting.
In fact, it has contributed a lot in reducing our humanity. I say this because never have I seen situations in which two human beings would be afraid to approach each other. Maybe I’m the only who has noticed the fact that instead of walking past each other, either of the two would rather take a detour.
Some do it even when both of them are kitted in ‘anticovidly’ in face masks and gloves. That reminds me that the ‘leg shake’ was discovered this year.
I just can’t but wonder how people in Ilorin, Kwara State will be greeting each other. Before the era of COVID, Ilorin folks would spend at least ten minutes kowtowing while greeting each other.
But seriously, I think we should learn to live with the fact that man is not invincible. Neither is he God.
Then we could start with personal cleanliness. We can then graduate to communal cleanliness.
I must confess that I don’t buy the crap of COVID originating from some wet Market in Wuhan, China or the 5G fable!
