In israel, a small country which has a superb army with efficient methodologies for investigation of almost anything, we reached a 2nd quarantine in 6 months. The 1st one was conducted incorrectly, but proved to be very efficient. The 2nd one is the result of a non functioning government. The prime minister is busy getting away from the court house, mainly because he's guilty, and uses the country as his hostage. Treating the coronavirus and its effects over the economy is the not on his priorities list. He decided to get tax refund for luxuries during this crisis.
For Shavit it's irrelevant, he hardly understands the meaning of the virus. It annoys him, but only because his sister can't go to school while he does. Beside that, he hasn't noticed we didn't visit the grandparents for a long while. He complaints about not seeing a friend of his, yet he won't talk to him on the phone. In general, he floats in an uncharted domain of his own and the corona-annoyance is just an annoyance.
So for his 9th birthday, which this year happens on "the eve of Yom Kippur", we're wishing him a happy birthday and to let him stay the way he is - careless and free. No matter what happens he'll be able to spread his own little ray of sunshine, and stretch our nerves to their limit with the inability to understand the difference between a smile and a sneer.
Happy birthday Shavit, hopefully next year you'll have a proper birthday party.
