God, I’m losing my mind
I find it interesting how certain events have a tendency to expand our vocabulary. I can’t recall using the words such “asympomatic,” “anecdotal ,” and “pandemic” so prolifically as in recent weeks. Covid-19, social-distancing, flatten-the-curve, safeat-home, and contact-tracing are terms I certainly won’t miss hearing or saying. Habits and behaviors changed in a matter of a single day. Handshakes and hugs have vanished. Curb-side pickup is all the rage. Eating home-cooked meals returns as a necessity. Online and drive-in church has emerged as a means of holding congregations together. Schools, governments, and businesses have been closed. Twenty-two million people have lost their jobs in a matter of a couple of weeks. Now, there are plans for how to “safely” open up our economy again.
