The COVID-19 crisis is not likely to go away anytime soon, despite the denial of some that it exists, the insistence of others to get back to their normal lives, or the fatigue of most from taking precautions. There is then, obviously, a balance between cowering in fright and hiding at home versus stepping into the world to live life carefully, accounting for not just my rights and my health but that of the people around me. This acceptance of a new reality has made it not only easier to adapt to the present but also to prepare for the future.
