I think COVID was a game changer in many aspects of our lives. I can not think of a bigger disruption to business as usual in every aspect of our lives. It's sort of like the feeling you get when a close friend dies, the examination of your life, the momentary live like today is your last feeling that always fades after several days.

But COVID did not pass after several days, it's been smothering us since the beginning of 2020. It was with us long enough to re-think many aspects of our lives and long enough to establish new habits. It was with us long enough to disrupt our business as usual way of thinking. The duration gave us ample to establish new priorities like no other event in modern life. I remember my grown kids asking me, Has anything like this ever happened before?" Since I was not around for the Spanish Flu my answer was no.
