The Coronavirus Invasion

Excerpt

The Earth gave us signals before, but not too many cared that the bees were dying or that the ice was melting at the North Pole. Mother Nature offered us the chance for a drill, to practice being on a common page around the globe, asking us for help to heal. The dying bees signify no crops, no food- they mean that the humanity would be eradicated in few generations, yet we had the slowest answer because the far away mortality of others didn’t seem to scare us that hard, or not at all.

Today, the overworked doctors are dying, exposed. They are the extinct species; without them this generation goes through a pre-eradication boot camp experience. 

Now we need as a unique response the synchronization of the masses. We have better chances if face social distancing together, like the wind that blows organized in one direction mothers electricity, we will only then be a Force strong enough to contain the Virus! (While this may sound like a figure of speech, it is not. The wind is Energy and so are we, but unless we unite, we are dissipated clusters of weak power!)

In the absence of Immunity, Unity will save us.

The Nature tells us what to do and how to do it. The dolphins swim in Venice, the air over Italy is clean. This information is a mirror of how destructive we are as a group, and also of how powerful we’ve always been (only that in the right equation). Until now we did it wrong, so we need a good reaction- fast, since today each minute gone is measured in dead bodies…The Nature is our betrayed mother, and this is tough love rather than a punishment, this is an encrypted message in a language long forgotten. She is showing us that the opposite of our behavior in the past century can rescue us. After simultaneous neglect, displaying “simultaneous love” as “mindfulness” and “compassion” gives us the possibility to improve the situation in 2020, and hopefully after. This translates into being smart and considerate towards each other: maintain the social distancing to protect our own and to regulate the workflow in the hospitals.

“Simultaneous love” could also restore the environment once we overcome the pandemic, only that after this lesson is learnt, our actions must be spontaneous. We again have no time. Business Insider tells us that without a change, by 2119 there may not be any insects on the planet, therefore the flora and the fauna will be dying. Without the bees there is no pollination of the flowers. There will be no fruits and vegetables; our animals will have no food; without worms and bugs the birds will have nothing to feed themselves with either. These species will be wiped off entirely from Terra, also the plants- along with the reptiles, the fish – and the kids of our grandkids will follow them tight across the finish line.

In two hundred years, as little as we are, we will be breaking quite a few records: we’ll be as ravaging as the asteroids are to the planets, as the ice age, or as whatever killed the dinosaurs! These are our accomplishments!

Not only that, but the Nature even tells us how 2120 will look for the humans. This month, packs of starving rats all over the world are at war with each other and go as far as cannibalism while eating their youngsters because the restaurants have closed, and they suddenly lost their primary source of meals from the dumpsters, just like we will barely have any productive farms in 2119. Pick one of these articles about the ferocious armies of rats that came out in April 2020 and imagine they are us, because they will be; our DNA will be running thick in their blood and our mixed features will be stuck on those skinny desperate faces two generations from now. (We’re doing a lousy job for someone’s ancestors. Soon the above will be as real as the outbreak of the coronavirus is, but much worse. There will be no vaccines and no cure for the famine; no hope, as the end of the rope will be near. I always asked myself why do the paper coffee cups come with plastic lids- this is how uncaring and impractical our race is, and I wish we would finally acknowledge that we are truly killing the Planet-Of-Life in real time, but that we also have the option to stop and CPR her… This should be not just food for the thought, this is a post pandemic homework so the legacy to our children’s children won’t be death by hunger- in case the pesticides induced cancers won’t get them first, just like the chemicals which already decimated numerous bee colonies in their entirety.)

• 2 trillion bees left in hives around the globe in 2019

• 6,5 trillion cigarettes sold per year

• 37,2 trillion cells in one human body

• 7 billion rats in the world

• 7.7 billion people on the planet

• 10 to 15 million doctors worldwide

• 50,121 Anesthesiologists…in USA in 2019

• 55,671 Emergency Medicine doctors in the United States in 2019

• 5,482 Active Pulmonary Disease doctors in 2015 in USA

When the patients can not breathe on their own, the Anesthesiologists, the Emergency Medicine doctors and the Pulmonologists are the specialists who intubate the difficult cases of COVID-19. EMT-s do that too, but not in hospitals (they stabilize the patients on the way to the Emergency rooms), and there are also some specialized nurses. An article from NPR gives us a global sampling of the number of Anesthesiologists in the world in August 2017, per 100.000 people:

In some countries the number of anesthesiologists is zero, like in Somalia and the Central African Republic, they only have nurses with basic training to anesthetize patients: 32 nurses in Somalia for a population of about 15 millions and 24 in CAR for a population of 5 millions. This being said it is not even about how many ventilators do we have, it is about how much specialized staff there is who can give first aid to the people in respiratory distress. (They are also needed for the other medical issues.)

Only in United States of America there were 5,482 active Pulmonologists in 2015 and that means there was one pulmonary specialist for every 58,632 patients.

If you don’t consider social distancing a must, if the large amount of infected persons and of the deceased doesn’t alarm you, then please look at the tiny number of the specialists who can actually save your life, and understand that as we are exposing them to a high number of patients at the same time, they are risking their lives and that some are dying, just like the bees.

(And that the dying bees never bring good news. When the bees die, the people will follow because the bees put the “Be” in To Be. No woman – no cry, no money – no problem, no bees…no life on this planet.)
