It seems that there are two schools of thought these strange days, those that want to go back to the way things were and those who want to adapt to the new normal. What if there was a third, independent school of thought that posed the question, “How can we do things better?” Tomorrow, Italians will be allowed to venture out into their cities with little or no restrictions other than a mask, but really only if inside, and social distancing, when possible. Don’t forget that in Italy, every question is met with the same answer: “That depends…” There is nothing “new” and everything “normal” about tomorrow. Italians, more than any other population, suffer from acute nostalgia and they are reminiscing about the days before the pandemic, eager to use their return to freedom to pick up exactly where they left off – the last few months of lockdown completely wiped from their collective memory.

There will be time to return to our frivolous and selfish lives once this passes. I am still surprised at how few people understand that there is no other option than staying home to get rid of this thing. People still talk about wandering around town and eating out and going to the gym. Do you really need the government to tell you what common sense should? Stay home and stay safe.

I’m not a fan of neologisms and “social distancing” is my new least favorite. We could have just kept talking about keeping out of each other’s “personal space”. Are hugs and kisses a thing of the past or is our genetic predisposition to ever shorter short term memory going to carry the day? . New musings - link in bio ⬆️ .
