This Virus does not rest , it doesn't know week-ends , holidays , it never has a brake or sleeps ,  it is always active .

It does the job it was designed for and it constantly evolves , ( mutates ) , it's efficiency and precision is truly remarkable .

It is just a tool , it teaches mankind something , and it leaves no room for discussion etc ... it imposes new rules to the dominant species on this planet , and there is no way to avoid this .

The consequential degradation of the quality of life for humans could be seen as a punishment for ongoing stupidity and greed , and the destruction of the natural self regulating ecosystems that did never need humans to survive and further evolve ...

The human species on this planet , ( we ) , need to urgently realize that we do not own the world , we are just a product of it .

And , being the dominant species , we inherited the responsibility to protect the biosphere and maintain the perfect balance everything was in before we started to use technology to destroy it .

This planet is precious , even if there are billions and billions of similar planets in Universe , our planet is still unique in it's life creating ability .

We simply do not have the right to destroy it .

If mankind does not stop it's destructive behavior , mankind will disappear forever soon , despite our advanced technology , Up to us ...

But what a pity ... we could have done it better ... but , let's be honest , there is a massive overpopulation that needs to be reduced to find a more balanced and sustainable way of living .

So , finally , if the virus helps us to find this new balance and open a new consciousness for the ecological relationship everything is in , ( everything is connected , every action provokes a reaction ... )

it might be a good thing after all ...?

Just one more thing ... no matter if you are black or white , or whatever the color of your skin is , no matter what ethical or cultural background you have , if you are caucasian , asian , african , we are all members of the same species ...

It is not by making war against each other that we will further evolve , the opposite is the case .

Just about every one getting of a plane from Middle East seems to have it !

Asymptomatic is the word for positive RT-PCR without symptoms, meaning reagents reacted to a part of RNA floating in the saliva. It does not mean live virus. This is now a big problem as places are having casedemics, where earlier infections are counted as current ones.

Same thing apparently happened with H1N1. It's human nature, not being able to process live information, but relying on old data that has been interpreted by others - often when the current data was not available and they would have come to other conclusions if it was.
