The Sudden Obliteration of Expectation

The way we make sense of the world is mostly invisible to us...but times like this can make it visible. There have been moments in my life my expectations have evaporated and I have felt lost without an anchor. We're starting to realize that we're in a moment like that right now. Maybe it won't be a huge shift...here's hoping, but it's already been unsettling and life-changing for many people, so we're going to have to find our new normal. 

Also, when it comes to how we need to handle this...this article from Aaron Carroll is very good. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/how-we-beat-coronavirus/608389/

And when it comes to how people react during times of crisis, this is also good: https://www.wired.com/story/coronavirus-mass-panic-unlikely-pandemic/
