Since March of 2020, society has been changed. This is equivalent to a revolution in which the very essence of society has been changed. Even though this revolution has been bloodless, it has affected every person without exception, psychologically.
The demands made by governments have produced isolation, fears, and emotional difficulties because of these demands. The demand for isolating oneself from society and even family for 14 days, has caused many to refrain from even coming close to each other, even within the family.
Some parents have refused to allow their children to play outside with other children. These parents have made sure that their children play in the back yard with no other persons but immediate family members. Some people has also forbidden relatives from socializing with other family members and even close friends. These episodes of extended isolation has created a social structure of mistrust of and from everyone.
The wearing of masks when in public surroundings, you can see the fear in many a person's eyes as they don't want to come near you even if they are still six feet apart from each other. Governments has insisted that everyone wear a mask, that everyone wear a mask and even cloves when shopping or going out in public. These requirements will not be changed. The wearing of a mask will be and is a permanent requirement every time someone interacts with the public.
The result is that the children are being turned into paranoid people. The paranoia will create a society where no one is trusted at all, no one will hug each other, where hand shakes will be a thing of the past and only an elbow bump will be the sign of accomplishment or greeting. We are entering into the possibility that human touching will become strange and foreign. People will no longer look at each other with any type of physical contact.
The wearing of the mask will hide any smile or lack of smile from the person or persons coming in contact with each other. I have already experienced people who are wearing masks and are basically emotionless because there is no showing of the emotion that we are used to seeing.
Humans depend on physical contact, emotional contact, visual connections, and the joy of seeing someone they know. The desire to hug is now unknowingly forbidden. The opportunity to touch someone has been shunned by governments and health officials. The "social distancing" has created an atmosphere of fear of being close.
Churches have been instructed that no one is to sing and that worship is confined to less that 50 people and that everyone has to be instructed where to sit so that there is six feet around each person. Even in social clubs like the Lions Club and so on, can not have more than 50 people or less attend the meeting.
Families are told to refrain from family gatherings, even if these gatherings are outside. Only ten people are allowed to be in a personal circle of family or friends but not both and not being in one group and then another group. Technically, if you are in a group of ten, you are to stay with that group and only that group. Humans are social beings that require socializing with many people and not just a group of ten. As a result the field of contact is now manipulated.
There are now snitch lines whereby people can report their neighbours, report gatherings, report churches and social clubs if the requirements are violated. A society of informants has been established. Even the reporting of a family in a park have been reported. So if you're not wearing a mask, someone can report you and you can be charged.
Stores have refused to use money and have told customers that only a debit card or credit card is to be used. In many stores where you could get cash back, now tell customers if you want cash you go to the bank and get it. The store will no longer give cash back on debit cards. All this is fear that the virus lingers on the surfaces of everything and anything.
So what has been created? What is being developed? What is being expected? How do people look upon each other now?
