The good lessons to learn from Corona

I believe everything happens for a reason ... I could also call it karma

Below YouTube shows the good things we can learn from corona virus
I hope the world leaders pick up on this, and finally learn and change
Otherwise we might even get nastier surprises I think. Evolution goes on

We can/should learn that we humans have polluted this word almost to its death because even in the short time Corona has plagued people the pollution has almost been wiped away and even the sky look bluer now. and for us with asthma, we can breathe so much better.
So maybe we could learn that we do not need to pollute the way we did before corona. we can manage without the toxic waste

Yes. I was amazed when I saw the satellite picture about pollution disappear in China due to "corona virus Lock-Down" necessity.

So, this car-free Sunday we had in 1970th was not such a bad idea after all.

Yes, I fully agree. And when people try to argument against this, they just show they feel no gratitude nor respect towards Mother Earth.

During lockdown, animals are showing that our modern world is really their world too. The streets are quiet and empty allowing some animals to return, albeit temporarily. Around here, a bald eagle was seen perched in the city, and several cougars were seen wandering the streets in day light.

Here's the google search results for "animal sightings during lockdown" : link

Changing human nature is the long haul and not something that is going to be possible when we have so many things pulling us apart. In our little or big nation-states we tend to want our own country to thrive, and often at the expense of others, such that until cooperation becomes the priority before competition we will I doubt change that much. The video does point out the issues though. I'm afraid I don't believe in Karma other than the obvious kind - acting stupidly often brings retribution. But it should be obvious to all now that we are living quite precariously when we seem to think otherwise and that stability reigns. It only takes a certain chain-reaction for it all to collapse in a nasty mess.

I notice one more great thing in Holland, happening very recently. They seem to want to change Holland into vegetarian and vegan. All supermarkets are suddenly flooded with vegetarian and vegan items, like it tripled, and they have all cards showing "this is vegan" in the supermarkets.

Very good this is. On so many levels. Of course less suffering for animals, less pollution due to non-vegan food production. And the Hindu Scriptures declare that vegetarian lifestyle is the Dharmic way to go. Of course all are free to do as they like; no judgments. It just will give different Karma.

Man comes from the monkeys. Most monkeys are still vegetarians (the Dharmic ones:D, even in monkeys Dharma is declining it seems).
If Darwin is true then man should be a vegetarian.

I remember you started eating vegetarian. Are you still on that road? Sometimes when people face difficult times, they fall back to old habits (I did)

Great to hear. Vegetaran Diet changes us on deep levels, because we are what we eat (and that means through all our senses). But the food we eat has a huge impact. Animals know when they are about to be slaughtered, so there will be lots of fear and anger and hate flooding through them (even when they are in captivity, waiting to be slaughtered). Those emotions get into the humans who eat animal meat. So it is even a burden to one's emotional body, and it naturally has a huge impact on Spiritual Life.

The good lessons to learn from Corona

1) Your government will screw you.
2) Buy ammo way before you need it.
3) Have about a six month supply of food, toilet paper, and anything else you need to keep yourself alive.
4) See #1.

As long as "government" consists of a rich, powerful cadre, concealed behind the trappings of "democracy," protecting their wealth and power, then, yes, expect to get screwed.

Change the dynamic to government of the people, by the people and for the people; government as a co-op, and that could all change.

But that would be Socialism! :eek:

Number 1... granted.

But what what about this epidemic is warranting arming yourself? Have individuals needed guns anywhere in the world in response covid-19?

1) I believe Government is screwing us already, also with corona virus. When the Dutch PM gave his talk, I could not help but notice a smile he tried hard to suppress, but he could not. It was the smile "I will screw you all" was the feeling it gave me. Quite creepy. So, 1) agreed. Worse, they already screw us for centuries

2) We are really screwed, we are not allowed to have guns
3) The government advises us to not buy more food than needed per day. No worries, they say
4) So .... very true for Holland ... from 3) we go immediately to 1):D:D:D

Not yet, but that doesn't mean society won't break down if the supplies of food dwindle to panic proportions. Not to sound like an alarmist, but it's better to be prepared as opposed to simply being sorry. For what's it's worth, this is the first time I have had a loaded weapon in my home since I can't remember when.

I don't think this is headed towards an all out collapse like that. But each locale is different, imho.

Around here, I don't think it makes sense to be armed.

Because if you don't have them someone will loot you if you are reasonably suspected of having a stash of food/medicine/anything. People are rational until the supply lines close down, and then they're not.

It's not even a matter of being unrealistic either, as this has occurred several times in history. Here's generally what happens in a pandemic:

1) Non-essentials get laid off and have no money. They start running out of supplies drastically as the weeks drag on.
2) Essentials stay open, but their people start getting sicker and sicker until there is no one really left to run the store.
3) Truckers (the people that supply the stores) eventually succumb as well creating shortages.
4) The healthcare workers, law enforcement officers, and even emergency responders get sick too.

All of that can happen in any order...

So, that leaves you with:

1) You must have supplies.
2) No one is coming to help you if it gets bad enough, you will have to protect yourself. Going to a hospital for anything but a critical need can be a death sentence as it will surely subject you to the pathogen.
3) Keep your resources on the D/L. Don't even talk about that with friends and family. This is basically "OP Sec". You don't want people to know you have guns, food, ammo, or anything else that someone will kill for if in bad enough of a situation.

And trust me, this can happen anywhere... The order of events might change at the top there, but you must presume they can occur. The longer the economy is shut down the more likely it is for it all to go down. That means, yes, leaving the economy open knowing a certain amount of population will die is better than closing it up forever until it passes over. Most people don't have the resources to survive more than a month w/o income, and as soon as food becomes a problem SHTF.

It's mostly a race between money, supply chain, and the ability of people to continue working. If money is in adequate supply the problem will be shortages from panic buying... If in low supply people will have money they can't even spend. The disease won't spare people who are important either, so eventually you have month gaps where all employees are exposed to something and they can't work without endangering others. It can take up to two weeks for CV-19 to show up on a test, even using the newer quick tests -- just takes that long sometimes for the virus to manifest.
