The psychological impact of a world in crisis | Psychological di
stancing, denial issues etc.

Masked Man preface comment:
I personally believe people are desensitized and have distanced
themselves from the true dangers of covid and underestimate the
dangers of modern illness .. maybe this program touches upon and
helps explain some of that inability to appreciate and fully
perceive a threat when danger presents itself…
The psychological impact of a world in crisis | DW Documentary
SUMMARY:
Natural disasters and wars, each seemingly more devastating than
the last. Are we becoming desensitized to this constant stream
of bad news? And could that actually be necessary to help us
stay functional amid global conflict and the climate crisis?
Are we growing emotionally numb to relentless negative
headlines? Or is this emotional distance essential to keeping
our survival instincts intact?

Masked Man reply:
To me, the Aesop’s fable describes and captures the most human
tendency on a mass level to fail to take heed and protect
themselves in regards to covid and/or any outbreak of viruses
and illnesses …
“The Boy Who Cried Wolf” is an Aesop fable that teaches a lesson
about lying. The story follows a shepherd boy who repeatedly
deceives villagers by claiming a wolf is attacking his flock.
The villagers rush to help each time, only to find the boy
laughing at their expense. When a real wolf appears, the
villagers don't believe the boy's cries for help, and the wolf
destroys his flock.”
Masked man comments:
What gets me most about this fable is was the boy really lying
or was the boy who cried wolf simply able to see the fore-coming
danger ? After all the wolf did come and made a feast out of the
flock.
Even as a child I’ve always viewed and interpreted “the boy who
cried wolf” more less like a liar and more like a prophet able
to foresee the future.

Concerning "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," it would depend upon the
wording of the fable in determining if the boy could be
considered a prophet.
However, it is mindful that, the more generic a prediction is,
the less useful it shall be. Take, for instance, the occurrence
of earthquakes. Earthquakes happen every day across the planet.
I could make the prediction, "An earthquake of some magnitude
shall strike the earth tomorrow," and be entirely accurate.
However, that prediction would be of little use. The same could
be said of volcanic activity or automobile accidents or any sort
of generic calamity.
Whenever a claim is made, the claim must be specific and have
some type of evidence to back up the claim. When scientists and
politicians raised concerns that the volcano "Mount St. Helens"
might erupt in 1980, they were only as precise as the data would
allow. Volcanic activity does not always precede eruptions but
volcanic activity is often associated with eruptions and this
fact needed to be conveyed so that the potentially-affected
populace had an adequate chance of remaining safe.

...I tell ya what is crazy is mass denial in regards to genocide
... to me this mass denial has got to be the same with denial
regarding pandemics and outbreaks...betcha at least 48 parent of
the U.S. Millennial doesn't even know about long covid... so
much denial...
Being the grandson of a woman born in Hungary I find it shocking
that
"Nationally, 48 percent of U.S. Millennial and Gen Z could not
name a single one of the more than 40,000 concentration camps or
ghettos established during World War II."

MILLENNIALS AND GEN Z REVEALS SHOCKING" RESULTS

.. then ya got the CDC declaring Hospitals are no longer
required to report COVID-19 data to CDC

… how we gonna know anything about long covid if hospitals don’t
have to report anything? Seems like denial to me plays a role in
not gathering evidence and data about covid.
There seems to be giant gaps in history being made.. like nobody
even had to count cases of covid at hospitals. What a weird
thing for the cdc to not do. The excuse is that it burdens the
healthcare system to make such reports but I’m skeptical of this
given the power of computers. Seems like healthcare would be
burdened more by not reporting covid cases because people will
get more covid if they aren’t even counting cases. If we don’t
count cases of covid or other viruses at healthcare facilities
then it’s like lost history and lost evidence.. I won’t be
proved to future generations .. it’s just weird not to have
strived to get that covid Data .. I can’t help but speculate
it’s reflective more of a ‘denial’ on the cdc and it’s governing
faction.
With all our computer technology and all the things we do count
I find it hard to believe we can’t collectively count covid
cases.
Just the fact this site isn’t teeming and frequented with
nurses, doctors, and healthcare giving thumbs ups to these
studies and articles indicates denial and even aversion to a
form of knowledge and truth pertaining to viruses.
This site is perfect for those interested in the human condition
and sets forth an outline of viruses and defines and reveals
patterns and truths about microscopic entities at play… talk
about denial and lack of acknowledgment and interest from the
medical world and the applied science people insofar as paying
attention to a perfect archive of the human condition.
This site might prove to be one of the few resources scholars
have to draw on historically
In the future when they study the times we currently live in.
To me it feels like this... I am a pandemic survivor because I
mask and take precations like crazy and haven't caught covid
because to me its a novel unpredictable disease .. furthermore
to me the pandemic is far from over.. the enemy(covid) is still
firing away mutating with slightly different calibre ..the enemy
so to speak is alive and well... I'm not about to sayme or my
77 year old loved one is safe to catch covid now. For me covid
is still alive and well so for me the pandemic is far from over
in fact is is more dangerous because of other wo underestimate
the long term repercussions and complications covid continues to
bring people. So that's my view on the matter.
For me the pandemic rages on because covid still poses a threat
as currently we've got new variants continuing to thrive and
evolve. Fro my perspective far too many people underestimate
covid and the dangers of catching any airborne illness at this
time in history and they are in denial choosing to treat covid
like its a cold willing to catch it and risk long term health
repercussions in the face of the new variants.
