Last week it was exactly a year ago I was in The Netherlands where in a matter of days all my meetings were cancelled and moved to Zoom, while on TV the Dutch prime minister initiated the ‘intelligent lockdown’. It was also the week I came back to Canada where border officials were utterly clueless in figuring out how to deal with arriving passengers by asking the now weird sounding question, ‘did you hear about Covid-19?’ One year on we know a lot more, we’ve adapted and learned some important lessons. We also started to live life differently and I asked myself: what did I actually do in a year at home and what did I actually learn ? And, did we get better at things, did we progress or did we lose something valuable ?
The most wonderful thing about this period was having my adult son who lives in Los Angeles spend several months in Vancouver. This would not happen in normal times. On the other hand I have become less active and I miss my bike commute. I am concerned about some people in our community who have recently tested positive. This is not over yet and there are still changes to come.
