Dear friends of piano music,
today I'm doing something quite
absurd: I'm writing something positive about Corona. No, don't worry, I didn't
suddenly take this disgusting virus into my heart, on the contrary. But now
that I'm sick, I realize it's the first time since the pandemic broke out. The
children are back in school and kindergarten, and the various viruses and
bacilli that are there are already backing up with us. I cough, I sneeze, I
sniff, I'm half deaf. The pathogens seem to feel particularly comfortable with
me. they really let off steam. Therefore, there is no video recording today
either, because no one can be expected to watch me cough and blow my nose. Yes,
I did not miss that during the time of social isolation ...... But there is
still something positive to report in connection with the disgusting virus, and
I am downright proud of that. When my parents were vaccinated, it was a
bureaucratic show of strength that was unparalleled in absurdity. They waited
for weeks for a letter saying that they were now eligible to register at a
vaccination center. Then they tried for weeks to register there using a
complicated online process. When they finally succeeded, they only had to wait
a few more weeks for this appointment. Then they had to fill out forms, and the
staff there had to fill out forms too, lots and lots. And quite analogue,
unbelievable mountains of paper that have to be destroyed again at some point.
Not that many people could be vaccinated because of the filling out of the
forms. Just give an injection, everyone can do that. Then of course it was
disinfected, those who wanted to be vaccinated, the forms, the pens. Fever
measured a few times. But in the end there was the longed-for injection as a
reward.
I have now been vaccinated with
AstraZeneca, and it went like this: I read in the newspaper about a vaccination
appointment in the church. You just had to write an email and then you could
go. It was 34 degrees in the shade, but people stood in line in the midday sun
without complaint. A brief consultation with a doctor, then the syringe, and
then actually an ice cream as a reward ...... I thought it was great,
unbelievably great. I was vaccinated right at the baptismal font where my two
children were baptized. So sometimes we can do it differently, so there is
still cause for hope.
