Regardless of how safe or healthy we may feel, it takes time and energy trying not to think about how much we have lost
Coronavirus – live US updates
Live global updates
I’ve been a little hard on myself, not being able to write when I need to spend all morning worrying about whether this $5 bill will kill me. I don’t actually think it will, but since we don’t know enough about the virus, we each have our own protocols, superstitions and theories. Whether or not we disinfect our money, or the grocery bag, we can’t look at a bill or a paper bag without wondering if we should spray it. So the virus has infected our consciousness, regardless of how far we are from a hotspot, how safe or healthy we may feel. It takes time and energy, trying not to think about, or mind how much we have lost.
