In the last few months, I saw several people dying from COVID. The last one that I saw was a big man in his 50s. He did not die easily. He fought for his life while he was suffocating from fluids in lungs that did not work.
One moment there was a will to live in his eyes. The next moment there was nothing.
I saw much more than several people suffering at their homes, diagnosed with the same illness. Some of them had a whole bunch of other medical conditions, like diabetes, or high blood pressure, or COPD, or something else.
Mostly they are older folks, but there are young ones among them, too.
I also saw cases of people being sick but their closest contacts like a spouse being healthy, not positive on tests.
I heard whole bunch of theories, from blaming 5G networks to absolutely ignoring the disease and calling it fake. I have been through living in total curfew (because COVID) to total the government totally ignoring it and acting like nothing happened.
Whatever actually happens, and whatever the exact reason is for this, it is clear that it is BAD and it brings resources to the breaking point, much faster and much worse then is portrayed in media.
Public response
Public opinion is easy to form, and it is quite easy to “push” people like sheep in the wanted direction if you have enough power to do it. If you have that power you can do stuff that in normal times you could not imagine.
The greatest motivator for that is fear, and among all fears, the greatest one is fear of the unknown.
Through all the happenings in the last few months, the general public feeling is that they are not sure where all this will lead, and how all this might end.
