NUDISM And SPIRITUALITY
Nudism and spirituality (in the modern sense) together bring us closer to Nature. Meditation is like inward prayer, communing with our inner being, our life spirit, making us happy and healthy.

Pandemic
Return to DiscussionsIn the UK we are bracing ourselves for the spread of the Covid-19 Corona virus. The supermarket shelves have been cleared of medical hand cleanser (like hand washing was something new). People are panicking and stockpiling durable foods like pasta, soup, etc. Medical face masks are scarce, even our hospitals are short of them. This week it was announced that as our toilet rolls are made in China, there may be a shortage. As a result, there was panic buying of toilet rolls. In selfishly stockpiling supplies of foodstuffs and medicines they are depriving others of what they need. The virus can survive a long time on smooth cold surfaces, like supermarket trolley handles (I once caught 'flu from a slimy trolley). Most people can fight off the virus, but it can be fatal to those of us who are over 55, and have pre-existing health issues, like heart or lung problems. The best protection is to avoid crowds if possible, and wash your hands after they have been in contact with things that have been handled by others.
I regret that we now live in a selfish society, where some people's philosophy is 'f**k you, I'm alright.' I see it in other drivers on the road, as they race in their huge off-road vehicles whose tyres never get dirty, and fast cars that do not appear to have indicators. This week I have narrowly avoided three collisions with other cars only because of my fast reactions and good brakes. As with the Corona virus, the odds are stacked against me (if you don't hear from me again you will know why).
Have a safe weekend!
I am very impressed and scared! In 34 years of life I had never seen anything like this. I am Brazilian and here in Brazil there are already about 300 cases of covid-19 and this week the 1st death occurred. Panic and fear are slowly taking hold of people. In my city there is still no case, but people are already crazy buying everything they can, emptying the markets, there is no more alcohol gel to buy ...
I hope all is well ... Take care, friends!
[Hopefully this is true because I drink atleast 6 bottles of water a day lol quote]It is reasonable to keep cautious. I saw advice when I went to give blood to drink a lot of water. Apparently, when the kidneys are filtering out more water from the blood more often, it makes it more likely that one will urinate out any virus before it can infect. I don't understand that but I am drinking more and as a 57 year old, I am peeing a lot.
We had the same problems in France but we say "fear does not avoid danger". For three days, this March 19, we are in confinement, more possible to go out except for work (when possible) ; food purchases; We can no longer even get out of a city by car alone to go and walk alone in the countryside. I wish England would resist that because the confinement prepares for a serious economic crisis. we naturists cannot take advantage of it. My house is in town with neighbors and I can't be naked everywhere except at the moment because hardly anyone passes outside! meager compensation!
The centre of viral infection in the UK is London (no surprises there), so what did many (wealthy) Londoners do this weekend? They bolted for their second homes in the Lake District, Wales, and Cornwall. The locals are really angry about them spreading the infection. The PM is making a statement tonight about further measures...
Thankyou all for your comments. Stay safe, and good luck!
I understand Londoners wanting to get out of London, I used to live there and needed a regular break away from it. But, I do not understand why they, and plenty of other people, disregard all the warnings in the UK about not travelling to help restrict the speed that coronavirus spreads. We're a few weeks behind some of our European neighbours with regard to the rate it spreads, many have ignored the lessons learned in those countries. It wasn't just this last weekend that places have seen large influxes of weekenders from all sorts of home towns and cities. The one before last saw many people arriving on crowded trains and in cars at various locations on the SE coast of England, you don't normally hear or see so many wheelie suitcases clunk-clicking rumbling along the streets usually this early in the year. We used to go away too, but there was no coronavirus around at the time for us to spread. The restrictions on movements announced tonight in the UK may be too late, but they might stop the damage getting any worse - might.
This seems to be more about PANIC FEAR DREAD than SPIRITUALITY which, regardless of religious persuasion, is meant to guide believers away from fear towards #PEACE of MIND as well as political and social.
The famously nude iconic David by Michelangelo Buonarroti honors the Jewish/Hebrew slayer of the Giant Goliath who was later anointed King from Jewish history who reportedly wrote (or authorized) many of the Psalms revered by Hebrews, Christians, Muslims alike and respected by millions of others.
