After 10 weeks of shelter in place and with the order set until May 31 here in the Bay Area, I do not expect things will be very different in five days. It has been said that it was easy enough to suddenly shut everything down, but now how to restart?
Just in time for the beginning of summer, perfectly warm weather set in this past Memorial Day weekend. Temperatures are high here and so is tension. At least that’s how I feel.
I came across this @HarvardBiz article explaining crisis as a three-act story: Emergency. Regression. Recovery. It makes a good case for the highs and lows I am experiencing.
Act two is such a drag. I look forward to moving on to act three. Above all I look forward to the end of this story of pandemic crisis. Now that’s something to drink to.
