It didn’t stop from one day to the next, but somehow gradually – the corona pandemic is considered over. How happy we would have been if this damn war hadn’t happened. But now I often experience conversations like: Do you remember when the playgrounds were closed, the schools and the shops? How we went for a walk at a distance and even rushed home from our girlfriends in the evening, the impending curfew already on our necks? It’s all crazy and – as we now know – sometimes not useful. My balance sheet is bleak: not healthy, survived 3 vaccinations well, fell ill briefly twice, Corona has lost its horror for me. But the wounds remain, the terrible arguments and discussions about vaccination. The rift went through friendships, family, circles of colleagues – and always so emotional. You couldn’t convince yourself anyway, no matter how many facts you had researched. As a person addicted to harmony, but who was so convinced of one side, it was difficult to endure. What was good for me was working in the vaccination center here in Berlin at the trade fair, good organization, great atmosphere, nice people. Was always in a good mood when I came from there. The pointless and grueling arguments about Corona are over, thank God. Unfortunately, and often with the same people, we continue with the war in Ukraine and the arms deliveries. Again they dig in, only certain sources are believed, again it quickly becomes emotional. I’ve been around for quite a while and I can say: I’ve never experienced anything like it. There was always discussion, also politically – but like that? It’s time, I’m avoiding certain topics and I’m tired after 3 years of fighting.
Frail after 3 years of Corona. It’s over and yet somehow not.
