We need to start mentally preparing ourselves for the idea that life isn’t going back to “normal” and we need to start planning for the long term. Longer than May 15. Longer than June.

Holding on to false beliefs that this will be a couple weeks more just for the deadline to be pushed back isn’t healthy mentally & it prevents proper mourning & realistic planning.

Allow yourself to mourn what you’ve lost because of all of this. Assume this is going on for MONTHS and find realistic ways to plan for that. How can we come together in our physical & virtual communities in small and large ways to help each other meet needs?

How far can we push our local governments & politicians to meet our needs and when they fail us on purpose, where do we go from there?

We can’t think clearer & see a lot of things for what they are if we believe that this is only gonna be 2 more weeks every few weeks
