Chaos – Corona, Cars and Swimming Pools
In the weeks since Corona, people crammed grocery store checkouts, fought over the toilet paper and barricaded their doors to any outsider. Why? Fear of dying? Well..yes. But there’s a bit more to it. You see, the virus breeds a particular type of fear for the fear of death is not equally applied to our reality. For example, swimming pools kill 10 people a day in the US, yet there’s no unified call to fill them up. Automobile crashes kill over 3,000 per day and no medical officer has stood behind the podium with the appeal to scrap cars. So why do we not fear pools and cars as we do the virus?
