There was a period a month or two at the start of the #COVID #Pandemic where it really seemed like we were all pulling together; looking out for one another.
People banging pots and pans at night to honour doctors and nurses.
Random acts of kindness for the retail workers keeping us fed.
Messages like this started popping up on sidewalks, windows, and painted rocks planted in gardens.
A too-brief glimpse of what “community” could mean.
Things really took a turn, didn’t they?
@mick sadly, yes, they did.
I'm not an RN or doctor, but I work in healthcare, and during the start of the pandemic, I and my coworkers actually felt truly appreciated by the general public for the first time ever, as we worked short staffed and under strange circumstances. I work in an assisted living facility, and so it's different than in a hospital, but we still felt the strain to a great degree.
Overall, people were banding together in support during a weird time.
Now? It's all changed.
