Beelines and Relics, that's what I'll make. The Devil makes use of idle hands...
Two days ago, this corona virus thing, looked like a good relaxing world reprieve. A much needed slowing down. But just like the construction builders who have worked throughout, that come in for coffee in the mornings, I wouldn't just relax and let it all slide.
I was on the phone to my mother the other month. "It's *******," I said. "When have they ever cared so much?" And in Tesco the other day, a growing disbelief, a cynicism. "They can just mark in a car accident as a corona death," I overheard a guy saying to the clerk. "It's true," I chirped in.
Walking along the street today, masks everywhere. Signs up, billboards, ATM machines, corona virus this, corona virus that. Social distancing. NHS heroes.
I think now we are heading into a new form of control. Biological control. I was talking to Stef the other month, and he had the notion that in the future, people would need to have the appropriate vaccinations before they could get on a plane. Totally forseeable.
We, the human populace, the animal, biological component. Easily docile, easily, easily controlled.
