A Stiff-Necked-People = Adjective for the Human condition during
Coronavirus Pandemic.
1. Previously an adjective assigned by God to the Hebrews in the
book of Exodus, meaning stubborn, as they held to
old ways, and made the golden calf.
2. Has ironic new meaning, as Jews and Gentiles alike embraced new ways to worship: meaning "persevering," as they held excruciatingly long seders, or Easter services etc., seated awkwardly staring at poorly positioned computer sceens, and/or spent hours looking down at cell phones, during social distancing quarantine--often finding themselves in physical
pain from doing so
Inclined at 15 degrees, the weight of the human head exerts a force of 27 lbs. on the cervical vertebrae and scapular musculature, and at 60 degrees,
gravity adds 33 more lbs. So, during
covid 19 social distancing the condition called "A Stiff-Necked-People" has run rampant, & "inflamed" the masses--everybody is getting stiff necks, sore shoulders, or has slept
weird hours, & awoken with cramped muscles, crashed on their couches.
