People are expected to view & treat this pandemic times as the NEW NORMAL while keeping in place OLD NORMAL ROUTINE, especially in terms of academic & professional responsibilities. With new normal has come HARDLY ANY REVISIONS in responsibilities, demands & requirements to live or merely survive. NOT MUCH has slowed down, relaxed or waived off. Lifestyle has incurred UNPRECEDENTED CHANGES while life is EXPECTED to go on the OLD NORMAL WAY. Being rooted or let’s say TIED DOWN to one single place, people are expected to MANAGE ALL ASPECTS of their life WHILE also COPING with the mental TRUAMA this pandemic has brought upon all of us. So much has changed & Coping with this pandemic is a FORMIDABLE TASK by itself and as if nothing has changed, people are expecting & are expected to DO IT ALL. I wonder if this is the NEW INHUMANE.

I also wonder if I’m being naive, however I think I’m not.
