Today I had conference calls. I had design requests. I got in a bit of trouble for doing something wrong. I sent emails. I sent text messages. I posted to social media accounts.
It feels like things are figuring out a way to get back to normal in my life and I don’t want it to.
I spoke with a friend who’s concerned about income coming in. I read about someone who died in the hospital because it took so long to get tested and admitted to the ICU. I saw a couple walking their dog while wearing surgical masks.
None of this is normal.
I’m not panicking or filled with anxiety about all of this but I do want to yell at people who want to go about their business like it’s not happening.
It’s happening.
For millions of people this is horrific. For the privileged minority, which I include myself in, this is an inconvenience.
Never let this become normal until everyone is safe and healthy and financially secure.
