The virus has identified people with the best mental health. Why? There’s enough anecdotal evidence to determine there’s a direct link between mental health and physical health. In order to show how the virus has shown us that information, we have to eliminate some groups.
I’m eliminating the super-rich and the very poor from this post because one group has complete control over available medical intervention while the the other group has no control or may not have access to any medicines at all. And yes, I agree with you that it’s not fair, but to be perfectly honest, the world is and always has been full of inequality.
The countries who maintained strict control over their borders can’t be included either because they didn’t allow the virus to show us the whole truth, however, we can say with some confidence they put health before wealth. Mind you, unless they vaccinate their entire population, that truth will unfold in the future.
We’ve eliminated the super-rich, the very poor, and the protected populations. However, everyone else can be excluded, too, except for people who are old or people who have pre-existing medical conditions. Why? They were never really at risk from the virus anyway.
The opening line of this post is misleading, the only thing the virus has taught the world as a whole is, Governments will put everyone in jail to protect 2% of the population instead of putting 2% in jail and letting everyone else get on with living their life.
Each individual will have learned a great deal more about their mental health, the people who came out the other side of the pandemic without being traumatised by the continuous negative stories being shared by everybody are the people with excellent mental health.
I’ll leave you with one final thought.
Don’t get caught up in unnecessary drama and remember good mental health is and always will be the key to a good life.
