I agree with you that social responsibility is the essence of civilization/society, but I am not sure that civilization really worth it.

Even a group of 10 people is a civilization. There are shared resources, shared space, and work to do.
I met someone the other day who took part in the Imperial College University study on Covid. My husband was also asked to take part as they randomly sent letters to people but he didn't do it.
The guy said he had antibodies when they tested him so he must have had Covid without any symptoms as he didn't remember feeling sick. Two of his children also had Covid but felt fine.

just a quick update - my family decided that they will be having a full scale funeral with visitation (max 80 at funeral) - masks, no hugging, no singing (even though they love to sing) - I have decided not to go.... I am at peace with it and will Zoom into the funeral so will be able to take part and I am helping with arrangements from my home (flowers, program etc)
They were all okay with my decision (probably a bit relieved) and so everyone is happy. Do I think they are making the right decision? no, but I know that I am.
Thank you all for your kind words of sympathy!

Well, the lockdown is continuing and escalating.. Im hoping for a level 3 as it is easier for family members, but for myself i wish for a level 2 (wont be for a while though)...
The reason why i want a level 2 is that i am having the same problem as before, with all these random people outside the backyard, exercising at the fence, it means i cant use the front garden until level 2 when they are out of lockdown... i know it sounds selfish but i cant wait to have the garden back....

I don’t think it’s selfish. It’s natural to want the freedoms that we have been accustomed to. I hope things get better there soon.

. Im not expecting Level 2 for another month at least... might try and sneak out there at time where it looks quieter.. hopefull we will be in level 2 or 1 for the summer as that is when most of the flowers come out.Not much flowering at the moment, a few spring flowers amd the magnolia... violets and camellia still there, they are the only winter flowers here.
I fail to see the irony here.
I mean that had to be what you were going for here....
This truly should shine the light on the importance of WHO you quote, and not just the words themselves

I love the way he can make fun of someone without them noticing. and he makes it look so easy.I love him
I have now attended my first (and hopefully only) covid-time funeral. My family was kind enough to facetime me into their 'arrival and time with dad ahead of visitation' so I was able to see him up close and spend a few moments with my siblings. I then watched the service livestreamed for which I provided a video which they played. It was wonderful. They then also took me with them graveside where they had a grandson say a few words and read some bible verses and my brother played his accordian and they sang some of dad's favourite hymns (outside). My niece was holding the phone and chose a rose for me from the family casket spray and I was able to virtually hug my sisters.
I am very satisfied that not going was the correct choice for me. I could see the chapel, ahead of the service, and there was little to no social distancing going on. A baby, in attendance, was not masked and people were walking up to the her (my great niece) and goo gooing with her and would pull down their masks etc. I would have been a mess and I would have made everyone else uncomfortable ...
For them, it was the right choice and I am happy that there was such a beautiful send off to honour my Dad.
