Abstract

Like many of you, I found the Spring 2020 semester to be a whirlwind, and not in the usual way. COVID-19 fundamentally changed many aspects of daily living, from how we work and attend school to how we shop for groceries and connect with our families. Our lives shifted swiftly, with little forewarning, and, in many respects, may never be quite the same again. I write these words at the beginning of April on a sunny spring day from my kitchen. Light filters into the room as I type. I hear birds singing and the backyard work of my neighbors: the growl of lawn mowers, the piercing drone of sawing, the percussion of stapling. From where I sit, in my relatively quiet corner of the world, life seems to be going on. People walk their dogs. They order curbside pick-up. They say hello to their neighbors.
