The Pandemic Has Been a Portal (for a few of us)
It's true that most people keep choosing "normalcy". But the COVID conscious community is showing us a radical new way forward, that centers care
In 2020, Arundhati Roy wrote that the pandemic had the potential to serve as a portal to a different world, a better one.
Last weekโs piece was my love letter to the few who were brave enough to step through that portal while most returned to normal:

The track Bacchus from my album The Music of Ancient Rome hit 100,000 streams last night. When I wrote the album it was part of my PhD submission and I wasn't sure that anyone would stream it. It's so niche. Turns out lots of people listened. Thank you so much.

It's absolutely exceptional.
I hope people can see that the politicians know how harmful this is and yet they are saying & doing absolutely nothing.
Gwynne knows first hand how severe Long Covid is.
