I hope the people preaching about how “the better we social distance the quicker we can go back to normal in time for the summer” don’t say so with the intent to ACTUALLY go back to the way things were. We will not go back to “normal”; adjust & prepare for change.

That sense of nostalgia- okay I get it. Covid-19 has demonstrated how much we take normality & routine for granted, and how disruptive it can be when we’re thrown a curveball. But claiming we can go back to the inadequate state of the past- is misleading and somewhat reckless.
