Today passed in the blink of an eye

I'm not sure what happened today but it seems like a blinked and missed it. Working from home has been a huge blessing for me, my stress levels are down, my blood pressure is down, the only thing up is my weight and that's not too bad, I really need to start walking or something. The funny thing is that I'm most definitely more productive and more available working from home than from the office. It's sad because my employer is already making noises about people coming back in the office while still maintaining that everyone who can, should work from home. There's no recognition that we need to find a new better normal rather than trying to rush back to the old normal, which let's face it was more than a little dysfunctional. Less pollution through the endless commutes, less use of resources including office space, happier employees, healthier employees. Unfortunately, my workplace is known for its glacial change we haven't really made it out of the end of the 20th Century let alone entered the 21st. This coming year will be harsh and so will the next, there are going to be further rounds of Covid19 even in the places that do everything right, until a true vaccine is found and then it will take time for it to bring up the herd immunity. Never has a better demonstration, of what the lack of a vaccine can do, been enacted on a complacent world. Anti-vaxers are among the great dangers of our age along with racism, religious fanaticism, and pollution. How's that for four horsemen? I'd also accept capitalism as a fifth.

I agree. Also about the fifth.
