Coronavirus19 Diary - A Beginning a Middle and an End

Earlier this week one of the talking heads on a news show described this pandemic as having "a beginning, a middle and an end". Somehow this helped.

Man is a social animal. Early on in our history this was necessary. There was safety in numbers. We, working together, could take down larger prey, gather more, not to mention that it takes 2 to mate and rearing and protecting young is easier in a group.

But now our social groups are stressed, modified. They exist online or on our phones. The face to face, the hugs, the incidental human contact are, for this moment in time, put on hold. The thought of an end when we are in the social isolation of the moment gives me solace, helps me see the light at the end of this tunnel.
