When COVID-19 emerged over two years ago, it changed the world as we know it. But, although some believe the worst of the pandemic is finally over, others still cannot fully recover from its effects.
For the past two years, the COVID-19 virus has dictated most of our lives. From the country’s first lockdown in March 2020 to current travel regulations around the world, many restrictions have been put in place to stop the spread of the virus. And yet, despite the many lockdowns put in place by the government, they have now decided to lift all regulations and return to normal. But what exactly do people think of this decision?
For some, lockdown was a time of relaxation, taking some much-needed time off and relaxing with who they lived in the sun. But, for others, it was a trying time, where trips to stores could prove deadly. Much of what has been said about the virus has also caused panic among those who might otherwise have ignored it, causing stress to many. Even after the lockdown ended, many rules and regulations were still in place to stop the spread and prevent overcrowding in hospitals. Masks were still required, and many places maintained the six-foot-apart rule.
But now, as we reach over two years since the start of the pandemic, the rules are being scrapped. There has been a push to return to what we were before, to what was once normal. This has caused outrage from many who believe the virus will never go away and that we still need to do what we can about it for as long as possible. Many people are at high risk and this attitude of forgetting that the virus happened is dangerous for them, as it can cause people to socialize without knowing if they are positive for the virus and spread to many people at a time.
Although the government may have said so, the pandemic is far from over and those of us who can should be mindful of those at high risk and do what we can to protect them.
