O título retirei-o anteontem do The Washington Post - Some people are lying to get vaccinated, and it’s testing their friendship - c/p aqui - o que, traduzido, afirma que "há pessoas que estão a mentir para conseguirem ser vacinadas e esta atitude está a ser um teste de amizade entre pessoas".
E por cá?
Tal como lá?
Perante a ameaça do covid 19 a reacção de salve-se quem puder vai deixar-nos a todos como antes? Individual, colectivamente, mundialmente?
É difícil prever. Mas o resultado das guerras (o covid é um inimigo com poder destruidor ainda por avaliar) só é visível perante os destroços, a contagem das vítimas.
Até lá, que relevância tem a amizade? Depois do fim, que pensarão disto os sobreviventes para além de sentirem a felicidade de poderem continuar a saborear a vida?

" ... Thornburg was shaken. “I was surprised at how immediate and negative my
reaction was,” she said. When a close friend “just acts in a way that I
wouldn’t and feel is strongly wrong in this kind of life-or-death moment
or pandemic, it just — it felt almost like a betrayal.”
Thornburg wondered, too, if she was alone in feeling personally offended by someone else’s line-jumping. Was that even a thing? “I immediately went to Google,” she said. ...
... The rules seem simple enough: For hundreds of millions of people to
receive a lifesaving vaccination efficiently, you have to wait your
turn. But as many Americans wait, they’re watching others exploit the
system in plain view. And while some of the moral murkiness of the
moment is rooted in the uneven, somewhat haphazard vaccination rollout
in much of the country, the truth is that some friends may never see
their line-jumping loved ones the same way again ....
