I remember when my parents and grandparents were telling me about the good old times of the era of Ceausescu. You know, our greatest and beloved Communist leader that got killed at the 1989 Riot. Well you might have not heard of him, but so you can know he was very loved by some of the Romanians and quite hated by others. You can't be loved by anyone, right...
Besides keeping his people inside the borders and forbid almost completely the possibility of leaving the country for many years, and even limiting even some of the fundamental needs that needed to be fulfilled, he managed to pay the countries debt entirely...right before he was killed and that was epic for such a European country. From what I know Romania was the only country, that for a short period of time, escaped the claws of the global debt.
I guess that was what brought him his death as well. No power in the world wishes sovereignty for any country anywhere, nor prosperity, and Romania during those times was having almost anything from a good industry, agriculture and cultural life, and was only exporting and not importing anything, everything at the cost of people's frustrations though. I guess pretty much like Russia is doing now.
One of the downsides of such a constricted prosperity was that food came in stores in limited quantities, among many other products, and you should stay in lines to ensure that you get any. Hence my association with Communism in the title. The only difference is that the supermarkets nowadays are not empty, as were the stores before '89, but the pandemic makes them look like, inside people's minds.
The reasoning for waiting in lines is that we should not get in touch with each other that easy, and we wouldn't spread the virus, but as soon as we get inside there's no rule to abide to and basically sitting in line makes no sense. If someone has the virus and was keeping the distance outside, it can pass by you and even touch you inside so the precaution methods are basically useless.
They are for sure not imposed by Romania, but borrowed from some other so called developed countries, and Romania being an ass licking country does whatever the fuck EU says. We're that obedient, although theoretically, we live in one of the richest countries in natural resources and gold, in the world. Corruption, at all levels of our people, has always been the misused handbrake that keeps us back... way back.
Regarding Corona, I personally don't know any person around here to have it, or have heard any story regarding how it manifests and how bad it really is. I hold my suspicions still, regarding this pandemic as being created to enforce privacy stealing laws during these times around the world, and accelerating the process towards digital cash, and why not, keep us in fear for a few months/years, while also creating a global economy crisis.
From what I heard, in Italy, at hospitals there are cases of deaths from cancer for example that are labeled as COVID-19. No proofs about such saying but I was suspicious about the numbers they tell us right from beginning, and even if they were through there are plenty other diseases that kill more, and what's odd is that nobody compares these numbers with the flu related ones recorded years before.
Sweden on the other hand seems to not play the game of pandemic and continue its life naturally, but I'm not in Sweden unfortunately. UK and Holland might be in the same situation, but the rest of Europe is really stopped ahead of a bump on the road. I might sound weird and too conspirator but if there are soo many cases of folks infected with this deadly virus that have mild symptoms, or none, and still caring it, then it isn't such a dangerous virus, so why all this pandemic...?!
I guess many of you have already intuitively the answer.
Thanks for attention,
Adrian
