Will it ever be over? Or will the political figures, bureaucrats, agencies, elites, keep talking about it and restricting us, claiming it is for our own safety?

Good question. I personally don't think it will die out completely and will at some point return whether weakened or otherwise. Then of course we will have all the conspiracy theories.

WexfordWonderLad: Covid 19 ughhh can't wait till its controlled so I can go back to work !!
1st week back at work. Here in NZ We've got a proper prime minister in charge We've got to follow strict protocol with heaps of hand washing an wiping down of touched surfaces etc. Strict site protocols of deliveries an no visitors allowed. Even the house owner is not allowed on site. And being a builder with alot of scaffolding and bare timber around that a few bubbles touch. We spend 30 minutes everyday disinfecting everything. Even the dunny. But I'm so happy to get back to work with full pay instead of no money.
I've worked from home since the end of March. We have Zoom-coferences 2-3 times a week, so la jefa knows who's doing what and why. She also keeps us updated on situation regarding the pandemic, as she has her sources.
Advantages: - I can sit in pajamas until lunch. - I can go for a walk or shopping in the middle of the day, no one would know. - I safe time and money, that I spend on trip to and from work.
Disadvantages: - It feels like I'm always at work :/

well, maybe the world is changing forgood due to this virus. Maybe things become normal. When I go to a supermarket and I would like to buy a bottle of cola, I have a choice between maybe 60 differnt brands and tastes. How idiot is that. The same with coffee, tea, chips, candy etc. Why there is way too much from everything? Do we need it? hell no.
Hope people will start to use their common sense again...

go Venezuela or North-Korea! You will be lucky to find one of a kind!
It's a Jacqueline of all trades really, something more holistic to the personality they have. When faced with the unknown what is the one thing better than a man's certainty? The woman's guess.

I can see parallels in male female relationships also. A quote from Going Home : The Eden Project by James Hollis gives a clue.
"My experience has been that most often it is the woman who seeks change and growth. Perhaps this is true, if it is, because women seem to monitor all relationship more carefully, while men seem to equate their well being with outer parameters, such as career or possessions. They may be equally unhappy, but they are likely to differ on what to address. Women seeking to recontextualise the relationship, men are more concerned to fix what is broken. Their goals are the same, but the means are poles apart."
It does suggest as you mention Chesney, a more holistic and perhaps pragmatic approach would be more likely from female leaders.
