Art is Non-Essential

Not until today, one never thought that a hug could be so luxurious. One never thought that the distance between people is limited to one meter. Who would have known mask can become a fashion item and a wardrobe staple! Pandemics to wars erode the capital on which capitalism is built, Covid-19 is showing to be no exception. Historically, capital destruction caused large losses to jobs, damaged the lives and livelihoods of people, and depressed living standard. Covid-19 knows no borders and has had a disastrous impact on health throughout the world, yet, beyond the grim and gloom, good things still prevailed in our society, in this world. We see this daily through small acts of neighbourly kindness. We see daily appearances of white knights in-time of needs. We see it in the activities of community groups, charities and philanthropic organisations. We see it too in the increased numbers of people volunteering to help. We see it in the Covid-19 frontline heroes; their blood, sweat, tears and sacrifices. All are showing the ever-presence and importance of our social capital. The Covid-19 quickly became one of the most talked-bout things on the internet, that lead to a spike in trendy keyword used on the social media, such as lockdown, social distancing, #stayhome, toilet paper and many more.
