Four or five months ago, it would all have been considered insane, unacceptable, even criminal.
But now, a flu pandemic, has suddenly created a new 'morality', as well as thoroughly new rules and norms for humanity.
And we do not have to look for important missions, or life and death situations, only.
There are hundreds of millions, perhaps billions of people, who are simply living on this beautiful planet of ours, not in just one particular country, and who cannot exist in any other way. Their culture is multiculturalism. I do not say that it is good or bad. It is simply a fact. Their health, even medical supplies, depend on this 'lifestyle', as well as their emotional wellbeing, and their work.
Without being able to travel, their personal relationships are falling apart, their houses and apartments are literally collapsing, and their life is losing its meaning.
Is anyone compiling statistics on how many human lives are being affected, or even ruined in this manner? The number is definitely staggering.
