Today I’ll go back to work after a two week break because of getting Covid. My wife got it a week before me and needed two weeks as well to get back feeling relatively ok. Luckily our one year old son was only ill for two days in the midst of that.

The benefit is that we now both get the Corona QR code for having survived the virus, as we didn’t get vaccinated. It feels a bit weird that all of a sudden we are welcome in restaurants and such again. When they open, as we are currently in another lockdown in the Netherlands.

I think that for the future it will be vital for our sense of well-being to learn to adapt to crises that completely disrupt our lives. We will need to start teaching people how to deal with such things mentally if we don’t want to end up with a society that is even more confused than it is already.

I wonder in what world my son will grow up.
