Here is something I have been thinking about: Even though this is very much a national tragedy, the narrative & experience of it varies profoundly from state to state.
I wonder what that will do when a college kid from NY sits with their friend from FL & they “don’t get it”?

I remember being a freshman in h. school during 9/11 & in a small school in N FL where few people had even been to NYC, let alone had people there. At the time, my sister @KimberlyBlumen1 was in college there & I had been to windows on the world August 2001. I felt out of place.
That feeling prompted me going to boarding school in some way&on the first anniversary of it,surrounded by people who had lost parents & friends &got it..it felt much more right.
That disconnect can cause ruptures in friend groups &mental health effects. This is that magnified

When college resumes&the friend who lives somewhere that doesn’t believe the science or never knew of death sits w/someone who couldn’t escape it,can they understand each other?Does having family in healthcare change that?Or if one peer is from a marginalized,over affected group?
We can’t begin to guess how this will change our way of life but the changes to our perceptual realities & social circles from our lived experiences of this will be real.They will affect our trusted world & relationships.
