Seeing a fully stocked and ignored shelf of Lysol tells me things have shifted. Not only in the way we think about transmission but regarding anxiety level. Also - apparently everyone at Old Navy is allergic to masks. People are acting like everything is totally fine...

I found myself standing at this fence wondering if fences are better at keeping things in or keeping things out? And how it parallels so many things these days… do these keep animals or trespassers out? What about masks… can’t breathe air kept in vs keeping germs out… do border walls really stop disease at the border? How does the mind filter the “truth” in while keeping “fake news” out? We clearly need structure and boundaries but where’s the line “ in the land of the free and home of the brave”? …. Are we ever really safe?
