The Space Between: What cycling events might look like in a post Covid19 world

happy to see that some people here know whats best for me! how about you stay home till nobody dies and i will get on with it? SA is still a democracy, how about we try to preserve that? never be afraid to be the one who stands against thousands.

You do realise you are part of the 90% .... NOT the one standing against thousands ....

 

 

But as you say, free country and all that, so you are most welcome to join the masses ...

Honestly I want to use it to change as much as possible:

 

Humans should do as best they can to work from home, it saves time, money and is really good for traffic and more importantly the environment. A lot of companies will not return 100% to an office environment.

 

Same goes for flying, fewer flights and flights for only special occasions not people flying to ct from jhb for a meeting and flying home same day.

 

Use it to highlight value in places that were under valued. Like our medical staff and the poor people who have to clean hospitals. 

 

Highlight how we need less footballers and more doctors. Less politicians and more scientists(and far less facebook politics and facebook science)

 

I hope we use it to change our ideas as to whether we breed or not because overpopulation is a runaway train.

 

How many should be realising they have a drinking problem, in stead they are buying over priced booze or home brewing concoctions when they could be improving their life in the long run.

 

There are so many things we can take away from this pandemic to improve the world. Reality is none of the above will happen and we will go back to square one and most will be happy about that.

Yeah its pretty sad, my wife and I went through most of those personal changes in the last two years that you mention. It seemed like the natural way things were going to go if the planet is going to survive us humans.

The only other thing I would add to you list is cutting down/cutting out eating meat.

 

Hopefully the improvements we have seen during C19 last, things like lower pollution and less congestion. I doubt they will though, people will always slide back into old habits.

Anyone on the inside that may know what the Western Cape might do with their proposed provincial closure? From what I read in the media they were supposed to meet on Friday with an answer to be given in the course of the coming week.
