We aren't going to make it out of this pandemic without changing how society works. We aren't going to make it out of this pandemic without changing how everyday life. We aren't going to make it out of this pandemic without thinking about how to make sure we keep what's important
We won't be going back to how things were before the pandemic. We will be remaking what was there before, not returning. We can choose the best post post covid-19 world or we can let it just happen and hope for the best. The best will not be best and will not be fair, either
The last time I felt myself at a turning point in world history was in 2008 as the global financial crisis happened. This is bigger. If we don't actively work for a future we want, we're going to end up with what's left after covid-19 has closed off all the avenues of choice
I don't think this one is just going to go away. The future is up in the air and we must make sure that the future is fair and the future actually works for everyone, not just those with cash to move into without friction. The covid-19 safe world isn't here yet
This pandemic isn't just a hiatus in the way things have always been. It's a break. We need to stop chasing 'back to normal and start talking about 'building new and safe'. None of us is getting back exactly what we had before unless we are rich enough to have lost nothing at all
