With our feet still firmly in 2020’s pandemic but our heads already contemplating on how 2021 might be, the words ‘new normal’ are bound to come up. But let me say two things about the current society we find ourselves in. First of all, there is nothing normal about it. Believe me, the pandemic is not what should be scaring us the most. Don’t get me wrong, we should be scared of it. Covid is a mean mtherfcker, leaving a trail of victims behind and affecting our economy and mental health in a way we can’t even fully grasp yet. But what should be frightening us most is an even nastier virus that infected our society long before Covid did and whose curve is anything but flattening. The name of this disease; superficiality.
