A new normal? Anything but.
This pandemic has damaged so many. It has caused death and loss, especially ravaged the elderly and the nursing homes. It has prevented our traditional grieving traditions like funerals, disrupted our celebrations like graduations, destroyed our economies. It has illuminated the disgusting dysfunction of our politicians, media and scientific communities. It is all too much.
I miss human contact. Meeting new people and shaking their hands. Seeing my family and hugging our grandson. Kissing. I miss seeing peoples smiles behind their multicolored masks.
We have been living on the surface of a bubble that has burst. There will be so many changes going forward. And that is what we must do. Pick ourselves up, cry for that which is lost, rebuild our businesses and our lives. And learn. We can now clearly see the "heroes" among us. Let's never forget.
A vaccine will be developed. This virus will be subdued. But there will be others. We must, this time, get ready, for our kids and grandkids, for future generations around the globe. We can do no less. We must do better. We must earn our place on this planet.
A new abnormal.
