Not wanting to see it doesn\u2019t make it less grim. Looking at it straight on helps to find additional solutions that can make a huge difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In 12 bullet points, very succinctly<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The COVID-virus is here to stay, principally forever.<\/li>\n<li>It will hardly attenuate, since it has no reason to, contrary to other viruses.<\/li>\n<li>There will be very many long-term health complications.<\/li>\n<li>A proper vaccine is bound to be available around mid-2021.\u00a0Don&#8217;t expect it to be a miracle cure.<\/li>\n<li>Medical treatment will ameliorate over the years. Till then, we have to get used to face masks.<\/li>\n<li>In developing countries, the misery will continue much longer and take many more deaths. due to COVID and other diseases, hunger, and general lack of resources.<\/li>\n<li>We are flying on one wing, namely the conceptual one, looking mainly at the virus as an enemy.<\/li>\n<li>The other wing (our mind) is very much a burden at present. Not seeing the COVID-whirlpool, there are dangerous surprises ahead.<\/li>\n<li>We can make this other wing into a VERY POSITIVE ASSET right now. [see: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=3275\">Free App to Relieve COVID<\/a>\u201d]<\/li>\n<li>If we don\u2019t, there will be from now on more deaths in the future than in the past.<\/li>\n<li>In that case, the economic consequence of what will be is bound to be harsher than of what has been.<\/li>\n<li>Artificial Intelligence carries much promise towards further support in using our second wing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As to mind-body-unity and all the ramifications of implications, it&#8217;s as if we are still in an era of pre-science. No more than two centuries ago, the regular medicine of that time was still very much into blood-letting, leeches, enemas, scarifications\u2026 in a theory of four humours that has since been entirely surpassed. Good! Imagine being a physician back then but with the knowledge of now. Hm. As to the mind, at present, we still have a very, very long way to go. Might COVID be an occasion to warp us towards a future of better science also in this domain?<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to help in this endeavor?
