Part 6: Why are we planning to go back to “normal” anyway? COMMUNITY
Honesty
I thought I would switch from topic to topic in this blog series but realised that current events far and wide have had an influence on me and the lingering thoughts on the murder of George Floyd by a police officer last week in the US is still raw. For now I will continue with a focus on COMMUNITY closer to home but it was important for me to acknowledge this.
Simplicity
It was just so simple, stay at home. The month of June is where the complications begin. From schools to restaurants to live sport across the country and the world, “normal” is making a powerful comeback. The pandemic community is being forced to break up and make changes.
Lockdown is withering away— The overriding need to get the “economy” going is all the rage and “health” has taken second place. We are still being saved by our key workers as they battle to suppress the 38,000 or is it 40,000? 60,000? deaths on the official UK charts? A solemn №1 that we have in the UK. №1 in response, failure, vision and strategy but hey, roll on June and let the magic happen.
