We were so busy looking at our phones. What happened? My take on COVID-19

We have devices that potentially isolate us from families, from friends, from loved ones, from going out to socialize, and many people are cut off because they wanna spend more time with their laptops, computers and phones.

Now we have a pandemic that, on top of killing thousands, stops people from going to church, mosques, temples, schools, colleges and universities, limits traveling to shops, stores, malls and offices.

The virus also prevents people from shaking hands, high 5-ing, fist bumping, hugging and kissing. Stay home orders also prevented a lot of people from going out to meet friends, have beers, guys night out, girls night out, parties, baby showers, weddings, even funerals.

How do you see everything after all this? How do you see something that is so tiny that can potential stop mankind in its tracks and reset the world.

Did you notice there are not news of major fighting since the start of COVID-19? Governments, even the Middle East, are so busy fighting this tiny enemy they're no longer fighting each other. Answer: This virus doesn't care you're Jew or Gentile, Catholic or Protestant, Shia or Sunni, Buddhist or Hindu, Godly or Atheist, it will happily infect or/and kill you just the same.

And the world is less polluted now since dirty smoky commercial vehicles are less (at some places none) on the streets, and far less human intervention in beaches, parks, forests, and jungles. That's not a bad thing.

Nature is rebooting the planet. This is how a reboot feels like.
