Understand this: it takes 21-28 days to re-pattern your brain.

That is why ‘two weeks to flatten the curve’ turns into four and so on.

Where I am living right now, we have had at least 6 months of nobody taking social distancing seriously, and ignoring the signs on the floor, of jostling each other in confined spaces. We have had a year and a half of not having to wear a mask and laughing at people who did. We have had months and months of signing in being available and not being bothered to use it.

This is SLOPPY programming, it has trained us that we can be slack. GOOD!

And now we are into our most intense lockdown so far: disobedience may be stressful for the first month, but hang in there. After that month it will feel quite natural. So for that first month, do anything you can not to comply, and disobedience will become far easier.

Don’t let the buggers get you down. Get some rest, take some vitamins, keep putting one foot in front of the other, and speak the truth. We will get through this.
