Very informative and well structured post
You comprehensively explained quite a lot about the Corona Virus. I must admit, I learnt a lot from this but...
Akin to every other country on this list, air pollution dropped significantly due to their efforts to combat COVID-19. Unfortunately, like every other country, their return to day-to-day activities with also restore those levels of pollution.
To dwell on this amidst other areas as an Environmental person, I think amidst the lockdown priority attention should be focused on Waste management as well alongside the focus geared towards the Public health sector. A digressing though...
To the highlighted point..Truly, Air pollution will resurface following the lockdown relax...
Holistically, an adjustment of life is obtainable thanks or no thanks to the pandemic
Thank you for responding. Your thoughts on prioritizing waste management are spot-on. I don't believe, however, that society as a whole forward-thinks to that degree.
I try to relax as best as possible regarding these observations. Though, I admit, it's frustrating given how naturally we are willing to return to our old devices. I appreciate the recommendation.
I see evidence of a much higher focus in the public health sector where I live. People are much more agreeable towards wearing masks. Businesses require masks where I live the way they expect people to wear shoes and shirts. It comforts me to know that people now listen.
Thank you for the engaging conversation!
Thank for putting up such a thoughtful post.
It has inspired me to wanting to write on another dimension of covid-19 "waste management"
I think that’s a great idea. I find that society chooses to ignore less exciting aspects of day to day life when they should embrace it. Like many things waste management serves a vital role. Perhaps not everyone can take part in it, but we all certainly contribute to it.
