Halfway Through - Depth Year in the Time of COVID-19
So far I've made it 6 months doing my Depth Year. 4 of those months were under lockdown due to COVID here in NYC. The city is slowly starting to open up, but thankfully my job is in no rush to risk its employees. (It is a factor that we share a floor with a vaccine research NGO that has shifted their focus to working on a vaccine for COVID, and our leaders are basically agreeing to follow and go along with whatever their experts say. Their experts are saying not before September, at best.) So, folks in the City may be rushing to their favorite bars and restaurants on the first day of Phase 2 like it's all better now, but I will be continuing to sit my happy little butt at home and watch and wait. I will listen to the medical research community over politicians, thanks. I know it's a great privilege to be in such a situation, but I don't feel like throwing it away by being reckless. That said, I do think after 6 months, and summer now...
