The corona news has been getting steadily worse this last week or so. I'm starting to feel oppressed by it the way I was months ago. The problem is that a critical mass of people have started not taking it seriously. This is one benefit of spending so many years consuming SF/F: when it all started in March I knew exactly what one was supposed to do during a plague.

Looking out of the bathroom window in the afternoon and seeing the low, wet grey clouds, and the trees losing their leaves, I was quite shocked that it wasn't still summer. There was something eternal about summer 2020.
