A small selection of the broader and deeper damage of the pandemic that cannot be expressed in infection or death rates: people with intellectual disabilities who do not receive adequate care, the elderly so isolated that they become demented, university students and pupils at school who receive a poorer education without any prospect of compensation, the elderly for whom the only bright spots in the week are lost and start to feel ‘too much’, all the lost conversations in the corridors of work that kept our ability to put things in perspective, the financial distress of individuals and organizations that lose their job or see their business evaporate, operations that are postponed, big tech that is becoming more and more firmly rooted in all our public and private doings, the unconditional support for KLM, the evaporating cultural sector, the become completely normal from the fact that you no longer meet new people in the coffee shop or cafe, critics and doubters who feel more and more approached like wappies, a national vaccination program that is standing on increasingly shaky foundations, the growing decline in trust in politics and our overall democratic system. As said, a small selection. Please fill in.
