How long does an emergency last? If an emergency situation lasts a long time... Is this still an emergency situation?

How long is it reasonable to put survival before everything else, including health?
What is health? What is healthy life?

It seems hard to be really healthy without socializing, right? It's hard to be really healthy when you live without serenity, with fear and threats... And without dignity? Is it possible to be healthy, without dignity? Can there be health if there is no choice?

All this seems to be delaying – socialisation, tranquillity, decision-making… – for survival.

“Well, but this is an emergency situation!” they say. But how long does it make sense to extend such a decision, to put what is necessary ahead of everything else, even the healthy? How long?
And in relation to collective health... What is the health of society? What is a healthy society?

I would say that a healthy society has to take care of its young people, at least as much as it takes care of its older people.

Well, we're not in that.

I would say that a healthy society has to take great care of education and culture.

We're not there either.

A healthy society must guarantee and care for the areas of socialisation.

We are not talking.

A healthy society must give so much or perhaps more importance to work, culture, training and leisure.

We are not talking.

A healthy society must take care of its natural environment.

We are not talking.

... I would even say.. a society that believes that caring for the elderly is to deny the visits of their relatives; a society that believes that protecting the elderly is to die alone, without kissing, to leave the hand without taking the hand... Is such a society no longer a sick society?

“It’s an emergency situation,” they say. “It needs to be prioritized,” they say. For how long?

We've been doing this for almost a year. And I think most of us know that this won't end after the vaccine.
Beyond survival, we hope they will let us go back to life. We are waiting for them to leave the emergency situation and decide to put life back in the center of life, a healthy life. But I think we know that they're not going to decide that, at least in the short term. Not going down to the yellow zone, not with the mask, not respecting the order of return, not with the vaccines... then how long will we wait?

Because those lives that have remained in parentheses are our lives, the Danons. Life, whether healthy or not, is one of each of us. And that society, whether it's healthy or not, we all make it up.

How long can life be stopped for survival?

I understand that the prolonged abandonment of aspects of a healthy life inevitably leads to a sick life. So does it make any sense to leave a healthy life for a long time to survive?

We can continue to wait, or perhaps it is time to understand that that decision must be above all ours.

By force majeure.
