We used to be worried about toilet paper. Now we're just wondering what the new normal is going to be.
It takes a while to establish norms, and I think that's the period we're entering. There's talk that this virus isn't going to go away - there was that talk at the beginning, which seems absurd - and that's starting to sound like the most likely scenario. So, we're going to have to create some new norms, for social interactions, for shopping, for employment, for exercise, for a lot of things.
Right now, there's so much up in the air. 160,000+ deaths, and I was thinking that 60K would be a catastrophic event. Ha. Now we're not even thinking about the numbers, we're just thinking yeah, a lot of people are dying, but it's not us or people we know, but let's not say that too loudly because the next thing you know it will be us and the people we know and I have a sore throat tonight, and I'm serious.
