I found this photo I took in April 2020 that I called "Quarantine Still Life." Enough time has passed that I feel sort of nostalgic for this time? A negative nostalgia? The pandemic was scary and bad, but this the changed lifestyle it caused was also strange and interesting. It wasn't QUITE dull and sluggish and brain killing yet.

Last week, our provincial government announced a three-step plan for re-opening. Judging by the points called out in the plan, their consulted experts didn't didn't include any representation from front line health care workers or educators. It's a recipe for disaster. The provincial government also financed multiple ads criticizing the federal government's handling of the pandemic. Seems they're more concerned with pointing fingers than with providing a reasonable, well thought out plan to get us back to normal. I think we're going to have a hard time getting out of the third wave successfully. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up having a fourth wave.
