Well, not all of us of course. I was at the allotment yesterday and everybody was asking why the government did not organise a drop of rain with some sunshine to follow, but otherwise most folk have been thoroughly decent.
A few folk, most of whom probably only had a couple of years left anyway, have turned up their toes but instead of saying well, sh*t happens and at least with the new regulations the funeral will be cheap, society has rallied round and seems determined to keep us alive for ever and ever.
The only problem is that we seem destined to make more and more fuss over less and less.God knows what the next kerfuffle will be about, although I would not be surprised if in a year or two the world went into lockdown because Xi Jinping's cat has hemorrhoids.
Still, it is a kinder, gentler world and you can't say fairer than that.

Agreed.
As I've been working from home for the past couple of months, I haven't been getting out and about as much lately. 5 days a week, I would have my hour long commute to work, and hour long commute back. I know it's straight in my car both ways, but I'm out of doors. Plus, I would be going bowling once a week, and to the hockey games once...maybe twice a week. Since COVID-19, both of these events have been put on hold.
As such, I've been going out for walks around the neighbourhood. I would greet fellow walkers that I encounter on my way. Don't know if this is customary (because I haven't been going on walks), but it is nice to see/hear.

I reread the OP twice and I still don't know what the fuck he's on about. Kinder world? D'okay. If you say so. All I see is cruelty.

It's brought out the good in some people, and it appears to have somewhat empowered the shitty types to be even shittier. Nothing really surprising about either.

Well, if you are a sad shit then it is most likely that you will only see sad shit, but in my experience folk have been keen to pitch in and help out. A chap I barely know has just banged on the door, said that he was off shopping and was there anything I wanted. Small stuff, but heart warming.
