COVID-19 has affected everyone's lives. One way or another this virus - as invisible as it is death - is just making us consider many essential things that usually pass unnoticed but they are of prime importance.
Modernism impacted the way to do things daily. We depend on systems which have created habits that are now on hold. And we kind of feel helpless and somehow desperate because our reponse goes to the direction to make things back the way it was before. It's just like searching for that reset "button" that it doesn't exist... because things we take for granted are now restricted.
And how do we react to that?
Some people react by succumbing to the panic that spread out by the media. On the other hands, other find unusual ways to get by.
And even though we can find most of them amusing and entertaining, some of them are really getting out of control.
And this happened because this pandemic has also tested us to the degree that some of us are reacting wierdly to this long moment of quarantine. Let's take the following vids as clear evidence:

If you watch the clip above, you may find it funny but also a little disturbing.
But there's more:
This vid above is disgusting. It's complete ignorance. There have been challenges around in order to pass the time (one of the most popular with toilet paper done by soccer players - watch the clip below)
But as I said, some of them are way beyond reasoning.
It is pretty clear that being locked up can be frustrating. We feel like prisoners in our own house. And the warden is the virus that roams through the streets as we hope that it vanishes.
This is unprecendented. And it's making us all to react differently.
COVID-19 looks to be retreating in some regions, because as contrary as the mass media is pushing, this virus won't obliterate the human race. But it's certainly showing us how human behaviour responds when we are tested.
