The streets of Antwerp during the 2nd Covid-19 wave

Have you ever seen the July terraces & streets of Antwerp this empty?  The 2nd wave of Covid-19 has hit the city hard and a lockdown light + the 1st curfew (in the entire province of Antwerp, not just the city) since World War II are active.
I'm very glad I moved to beautiful Haspengouw where I can enjoy Nature & peace..

If only people were able to use their common sense in fighting this pandemic then maybe there would not have been a 2nd outbreak and maybe all the strict regulations would not have been necessary.

That's many maybe's.. reality is: there IS a second outbreak, our behaviour ("going back to normal pretending nothing is wrong") has caused it. The way we behave in the face of this virus is exact the same way as we behave in the face of other problems caused by human ignorance and selfish behaviour: pollution, climate change, animal extinction, drought, deforestation, smog, .. We -as a species- cause a problem and once regulations are being put in place in an idle attempt to put things right again, people will start lawsuits against those rules to protect their own petty, malicious, self-rightous, pretentious, egocentric, short-sighted and egoistical way of life.

People are people.
