Many things have happened in the world that have changed our day to day lives, from a number of natural disasters, to other workings of the powers that be we many human beings find themselves now stranded in in the center of a culture made distanced by the cubic uncertainty of measured distance, as things like common hand shakes and social gathering that have but more than cut out of our lives by the bitter mention of a Covid-19 Virus.

Society is looking at a number of changes that might forever impact our lives and in ways that would see our basic ability to survive altered in the forbiddance of invisible lines of common courtesy, and now we measure the integrity of our interactions by only how quickly and how fixated they can be on who we are as a people only able to communicate at brief interceptions of immaculate and un thought out uncertainty.

The Iconic nature of the way we start out days as americans still holds out as a common staple in the meeting places of our most trusted of human interactions, but as the positives begin to slide in the way we see our society being held together by cup sips, we often find most of our insinuations of common covid society, vandalized by our impartial degradation of what it means to follow the rules of survival in all trusts.

The drastic nature of our; and other peoples safety, is met with the denouncement of the human condition, as all humans that have been named a common enemy of human safety when it comes to the spread of a deadly virus, and most of us may not trust in the care-taking of the better half of those who spend their time wallowing in the harder parts of life. Some might be a estranged by the fact that many who have sought the reflection of a post pandemic society to be something of a broken concept, others would argue that our nature to survive events such as this are written out in the decentive days of a post modern- pre computer society, that has seen the ravaged civilization of our analysis of primitive societal constructs to be as sum'd up as they seemingly are, while the advanced ignition of a more modern society is only built on our repeated concern of why human societies fall apart to begin with. But as we find ourselves indulgent of so many necessities and privileges, one would only hope that a return to more centrical means of existence might not yield such a tangent as full on survival, as one would think.

Basically, as most modern parameters would have it, the ability to survive is an expensive one, and the affinity to understand it is a concept that might others question the sanity of those well educated in the primitive nature of survival. But as we all know how fragile the modern concept of sanity would be, the mention of so many other factors would make modern society even into a primitive concept, and succeeded by the nature of what it means to go with the flow of how the wave of modern precepts crashes against the cliffs of a certain unwavering patterns of what ancient humanity has survived in the past.

As many are looking at homelessness due to the current crisis caused by this standard change, and other circumstances yet to come, it must be known what the standard of survival are when met with the brash and harsh world of combined hackers, scam artists, and deadly Viruses, and possible supernatural threats.
