Corona pandemic widened the gap between younger and older people
I am sorry to say that since the beginning of the Corona pandemic, the gap between younger and older people, has widened significantly. After being held in a stranglehold by measures to limit the pandemic for more than two years, the effort to protect seniors from the virus is turning into sheer hatred. I have to experience it regrettably also with my grandmother, who is already an aged woman. During quarrels in the neighborhood, she was often confronted with the words that because of her, one should restrict oneself so much and not be allowed to lead a normal life. If only the old had been put away and the young had not been deprived of their lives.
Needless to say, my beloved grandmother often burst into tears afterwards. Does anyone think that it is a beautiful time for you? When you are at a blessed age and can hardly see your own children and grandchildren, for fear of infection? How terrible for them already the thought of falling ill with a severe corona course and perhaps having to be hospitalized to die there, without ever again seeing a face, but only doctors in their protective suits?
No, today's times are not easy for our seniors and I cannot understand the hatred of many of my fellow human beings. It was not our grandparents who brought the virus into circulation. They, just like us, wanted to continue their normal, modest lives.
