Today, the Swiss government released their Corona timetable. It looks like proper schooling will gradually resume in the second week of May, starting with kindergarten and primary schools. Other schools are expected to follow later. I’m not sure if that’s exactly what our government will decide, but it’s safe to assume it will be similar in nature.
It seems like we’ll have to adapt to this situation for a little while longer. However, there’s some light at the end of the tunnel, and if things continue like this, we might return to some sense of normalcy by the fall—hopefully.
That said, there’s a part of me that’s worried. Once restrictions are lifted, will the infection rate skyrocket again? Let’s hope I’m wrong.
Yesterday, I looked back at some of my earlier Corona posts. One of the main reasons I’m writing these blog posts is to document my thoughts during this time, and it struck me how surreal the whole situation is. These are truly strange times, and I’m genuinely curious about what the new “normal” will look like—if there is one.
I hope we learn something from this and make meaningful changes. Then again, the human spirit is remarkably consistent when it comes to messing things up, and we rarely learn from our mistakes. So, it’ll probably be back to normal until the next big crisis hits.
Speaking of the next bad thing—how do you top a global pandemic? Asteroid? Let’s hope not!
