I agree. As a mass of people, I’m afraid we’ have a certain terrible moment of inertia to overcome before we’re all ready to recognize the inconveniences that Come along with COVID-19 safety measures.

What is that certain number of grandparents or friends and family that must bite the dust before this becomes real? On some level, do we all realize this?

Could it also be one of the reasons that so many of us are recognizing systemic racism at the moment? They seem to be similar problems. Aren’t there a few parallels between eliminating COVID-19 eliminating systemic racism? Not one of us can get either job done alone. We can pretend neither exist, yet there they are.

Time for a few of us to do a little growing up, do some adulting and solve some problems.
