When I think back to five years ago, in those weeks and days leading up to COVID and the way it completely changed the world almost overnight, I forget how mundane and normal everything seemed until right before it wasn’t. I look at this recap of posts in the week before the world shut down, and I marvel at the plans we all once made.
Then I look at the blog posts from the week that it all happened, canceling two shows I was scheduled to attend in New York and a couple of other big events we had planned, and I marvel at how nonchalant we all seemed to be.
Then I look at the first week of blog posts after the world stopped, and still I don’t think we fathomed what was happening, or what had happened. The grip of fear was upon us, and in so many ways we simply felt paralyzed and helpless.
It’s interesting to look back at that stretch of weeks, and the way they moved into months, and now years.
Has the world learned anything?
