The corona plague has become routine.

We got used to it and also to the 10,000 who died from it.

Journalist Sivan Rahav Meir wrote an exciting post that calls for remembering and not forgetting.

This is what Rahav Meir wrote: Tonight the line was crossed, more than 10,000 people died from corona in Israel, about 1,000 of them in the last month.

We all remember the days when we still counted patient number 17 and checked which buses he rode and which restaurant he sat in.

About two years have passed, and since then we have grown a little tired of all these numbers: some infected, some vaccinated, some recovering, and again some infected with the new variant.

But this round and non-festive number forces us to stop for a moment.

On the next Saturday, the Torah was called in the NIS case, how everyone had to leave himself, volunteered and to give charity, to prevent the Jewish people, "" So Shahamiyeh, " On the controls ... half a shekel is donated to God ".

Our commentators explain that everyone gives only half a shekel to remember that he is not complete without the other.

That we are all one human tissue.

The last two years have mentioned how essential it is to feel such solidarity, not only towards the deceased but towards patients who have difficulty recovering, towards business owners, towards parents who are coping and in fact towards everyone who has been hurt, and who has not been hurt?

Journalist Ariel Schnabel wrote tonight: "Imagine Nokia Hall full of people. And now imagine it empty. 10,000 dead from Corona in two years. Unpopular to talk about now because we are at the end of a wave, because come on we are all tired - everyone and his reasons. But they deserve to be remembered. Yes, "The elderly too, with background illnesses. We are all us. May their memory be blessed."
