Many people, especially young people, have missed a lot of interpersonal contact in the last two years. Now you can finally go out again without being checked and meet friends. But just a week after opening, the corona numbers are skyrocketing. Was lifting the protective measures really a good idea?
celebrate life
During the pandemic, we experienced deprivation, especially in human terms: seniors became lonely, children and young people suffered from the distance. And almost everyone else noticed: Life is best when you are present.
The fact that we can celebrate birthdays again, meet friends, sit together as a family – that is the greatest gift this spring. I’m certainly not promoting crowded discos or ski huts. But eye to eye – if necessary at a distance or with a mask – I don’t want to miss my fellow human beings anymore.
And whether one should meet if there is killing somewhere else? Yes. We must not forget to celebrate life. As an alternative to this terrible war.
Caution is advised
Yesterday alone there were more than 49,000 new corona cases across Austria. In Ebensee, the incidence numbers skyrocketed after the carnival celebrations, and one in twelve people there is currently infected.
It was clearly not a good decision by the government to lift almost all protective measures, even though the pandemic wave has not yet peaked. Even if Omikron is in many cases more harmless than the previous variants, caution is still required. The virus can still cause serious illnesses, some of which can be fatal.
Celebrate together, be happy and have fun – everyone is allowed to do so, but with moderation, goal and a large portion of reason.
