COVID-19 Memories

I am so delighted that your creation won the challenge. It carries such emotional weight and meaning packed into a single frame. I understand what it’s like being the only customer with a mask. 

Thank you so much for your kind comment! It's heartbreaking to see only the elderly wearing masks, while other people (many of whom are actually coughing and looking ill) simply refuse to make that small but possibly life-saving sacrifice of wearing a mask.

I’m in total agreement - it’s a tiny personal sacrifice that carries a huge societal benefit. 

For the Covid challenge. An attempt to illustrate how quickly the society in my country adopted the attitude that only "vulnerable" population groups are in real danger and therefore everyone else don't need to make an effort to make public indoor spaces safer for everyone - e.g., wearing a mask, distancing, minimizing overall social contacts, and staying home whenever they felt unwell. Upgrading/rebuilding ventilation systems also makes a huge difference but few places have done that because, well, it costs money and after all it's only the "vulnerable" (read: dispensable) who are responsible for keeping themselves safe.

And now, even as the media claims that Covid is over, we are getting more and more studies that show startling percentages of people, including children, getting long Covid after an infection.

Haunting image. I think you've captured this heartbreaking aspect of the pandemic extremely well. 🫂 

Yeah it was a very sad time. I attended too many funerals virtually. The hardest was a friend of mine from Perú, younger than me who should not have died, leaving behind three young children. It was heartbreaking.
