This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

I'm lucky to not have had it at all yet (I'm lying, it's not luck, even without COVID that 6-feet distancing rule was already part of my normal life because I can't handle being touched by anyone XD).
My mom however is now on her third or fourth :|
That's so unfortunate. I hope she's ok
Seems she's getting over it rather quick this time. 2 days of puking, then some cough, week later almost all clear.
I have noticed though, from her previous infections, her incredible memory has deteriorated quite a bit.
It's a good thing we're in Europe and they go their COVID shots as one of the first on the planet (65+ers here were prioritized above all others, mostly because there were some massive infections in elderly homes that wiped out their entire populations, one of the worst being the home near where I live, that is now closed, because pretty much everyone died).
