After a year of pandemic: fear of the virus or fear virus?

The sudden arrival of the Covid, more than a year ago, generated, by its effect of surprise, a completely legitimate fear. The fear of hospital congestion, and in particular intensive care, was at the heart of our concerns.

After the waves, our emotional networks regained a more tempo slowly, thanks to the entry into the running of vaccines, thus giving everyone the chance to consider new perspectives. Unfortunately, some people find it a new source of fear.

In a few weeks, we will probably finally be able to “take the mask off”! From now on the concerto of fear will play its 3rd movement: checks of the Covid certificate (for the vaccinated, cured and tested) will then be orchestrated for small and large gatherings.

Beyond the consideration of time-consuming and costly selection, the objective is of course to limit the transmission of the Covid to those who are likely to catch it. The downside is that this target is made up of unvaccinated people, who will have accepted the risk of catching the virus! Are there not some wrong notes?
