Like all good movies, this one will leave us fundamentally changed well after it's ended. Our world will look and feel very different once the show is over. But not for the better.
Thankfully, the possibility of a vaccine for this virus is looking more plausible. Unfortunately, like a diabolical plot twist, the day the vaccine arrives, so too will the inevitable chorus of those who object to being vaccinated. But unlike hapless movie heroes, we can be prepared for this.
To anti-vaxxers, I have one message: our tolerance for your wilful ignorance is over. We cannot afford, morally or economically, to give any ground to those who choose not to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Let me be clear. I'm not advocating that we vaccinate people against their will. That would be wrong. We must ensure that the safety of our community is the number one priority. That means that participation in everyday life cannot put others at risk. If you do not want to be vaccinated against COVID-19, you ought to bear the consequences of that decision.
Comment: In other words, if you don't get vaccinated with whatever Big Pharma deems as a safe Covid-19 vaccine then "you'll suffer the consequences!". And if, as we've been reading, being vaccinated will be tied to a form of digital id - which is connected to the coming digital currency - you may be left out in the cold; "Let that scare you - you bunch of people who refuse to be sheep!".
Comment: Expect a lot more of the same as those aligned with Big Pharma and some rather nasty goals ramp up the rhetoric against those who refuse to be cowed into vaccination submission.
